Birkin Bag...not really :p

I first discovered Banane Taipei early this year and I have asked my girlfriend to get me one from Taiwan, but they were so popular that I have to be on the waiting list to get one, it is just like the real Birkin LOL

Anyway, I remember the bag was selling for around $59 USD, but now the price went up to $119USD...I don't think I want to pay $119USD for a fabric Birkin...Plus, I finally got my first Birkin this month :)  I can't wait to reveal my baby :p

If you are interested in this bag, please visit The White Cabbage, she is giving it for free :)

Giuseppe Zanotti

I came across Giuseppe Zanotti shoes collection for the first time last year.  I am truly amazed by the designs.  Here are some of my favorite designs from this season.

Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel opened her fashion house in the 1920s, since then she redefined the way women dressed.  Her extraordinary influence on fashion still exist today and will last forever.

She created many timeless designs that are still popular today, such as black party dresses, long pearl necklaces, tweed jackets and of course the classic quilted handbags.

My favourite Quotes by Coco Chanel:

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."
"Fashion changes, but style endures."
"Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman."
"A woman can be over dressed but never over elegant."
"The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you."
"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."

Coco Chanel you are an amazing woman!

Goodbye John Galliano

John Galliano is one of the most influential fashion designers.  He was dismissed as creative director for couture house Christian Dior for allegedly making anti-Semitic comments during a night out in Paris last month.  

Ever since Galliano bowed out, Paris has been awash with speculation over who might replace him.  I have always been a big fan of Galliano and I hope the next designer will continue excite me with beautiful designs.

John Galliano:

"I only have myself to blame and I know that I must face up to my own failures and that I must work hard to gain people's understanding and compassion,"

My little collection of Dior during John Galliano Era 1996 - 2011, I will definitely miss John Galliano's design talent.

Lady Dior and Diana, Princess Wales

Lady Dior is an absolute classic handbag.

In 1995, LVMH sponsored the Cezanne Art Exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris.  At the opening ceremony a new Dior bag was given to Diana, Princess of Wales by former French First Lady Bernadette Chirac.

Dior’s new creation was immediately adopted by the Princess Diana, who ordered every available version and colour.  In order to show the honor of Princess Diana, Dior then gave this new model a graceful name "Lady Dior" with Princess's blessing, which has nowadays become one of Dior’s classic handbags.

I always wanted a Lady Dior bag, now I have a new reason to get one.

LVMH

I read on the news today that LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton offered €4.3 billion to acquire Bulgari, another big acquisition from LVMH. 

Currently LVMH owns over 50 luxury brands, includes LV, Loewe, Marc Jacobs, Guerlain, Zenith, Champagne Moët & Chandon, Sephora and more.  It also acquired over 20% stakes in Hermes International.  Almost everything I love are own by LVMH, it is unbelievable.  


Cute picture I found on the web:

Dior Fine Jewelery

I first noticed Dior fine jewelry line when they launched the "oui" collection.  The designs were simple but very elegant.

After few years, Dior caught my attention again on their latest "Rose" collection.  I love the beautiful Dior rose ring...do you?
