The Look For Less # 1

OMG, thanks to fabsugar, I just spotted the prettiest clutch ever ! - Really, I'm in love. I know I won't buy it, but it's damn fab !

Look at this gorgeous red clutch from Valentino
I love everything about it, the colour, the bow, the shape, all except the price.
The price is at $600 on Bluefly.

But...
Fabsugar found a cheaper and very similar version at Spiegel for only $39, which is a lot less than $600.

They only have it black though, but black is good too. Very versatile.
I'll have to admit, despite Spiegel's pretty and cheaper version, I still prefer Valentino's. It's so beautiful..!
Although I'm on a strict budget right now, I thought perhaps someone else was interested?

Fashion Book # 1

Okay, so I'm actually not very into books, at least not as much as I should be. But, I came across this book when I went shopping this Thursday.
I haven't bought the book myself, at least not yet..
But I'm considering it, although I heard that their books weren't as great as their BBC show.

I'm talking about Trinny & Susannah's book named "The Body Shape Bible"
What's it about?

Read the short summary from their website:

Forget Your size - Discover Your Shape - Transform Yourself

Skittle, Goblet, Hourglass, Cornet, Cello, Apple, Column, Bell, Vase, Brick, Lollipop or Pear... Trinny & Susannah have identified 12 classic women's body shapes. Which body shape are you?

The book is written by the famous two women Trinny & Susannah from BBC's "What Not To Wear". While I found the BBC series hilarious and full of great advice, I heard that their books weren't as great as the show. But I flipped the book through when I saw it, and it doesn't look too bad.

If you are interested in finding out what shape you are, and by that find out what clothes will look good on you, you can buy the book in hardback or paperback at The Book Depository that offers free (..and quick, might I add) worldwide shipping plus cheaper book prices.

The hardback costs £14.73 and the paperback costs £6.63

Confessions of A Shopaholic

If you haven't read the amazing books yet, I suggest you google it. No. 1 is named "Confessions Of A Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella.

All shopaholics must read the books, they will definitely make you laugh, and I'll bet you will find a bit of yourself in Becky Bloomwood.

But anyways, the movie will be out in February 2009, but so far you can watch the trailer.
(Becky Bloomwood is played by Isla Fisher, while I have nothing against her, she's just not what I imagined Becky would be like. I mean she's not British, in fact none of them are, she's not blonde, which I had the impression that she was).

Latest Purchase # 2

So what does the change of season mean? - Mid season sales, of course !

In case you haven't noticed, then almost all online stores and actual stores have mid season sale right now, so go out and shop for less !

I bought this amazing Salvatore Ferragamo Continental Wallet yesterday. I'm so happy, I can't wait to use it. It's a bit expensive, considering I'm supposed to save up, but when you really think about it, I got it for less than half the original price!
And I'm so in love with it, I can't bear to return it.

Other than this amazing wallet, I haven't really bought anything. I think the next item I will be buying will most likely be a poster or something along those lines, I'm going to re-decorate my room this week.
On the other hand, I have quite a few things on my "watch list" on eBay, so who knows?

Latest Purchase # 1

I haven't had the time to go store shopping, so I ended up doing it online instead =)
Actually, I've become a frequent visitor at eBay these few days. (I feel an addiction already !) - So I ended up buying a necklace or should I say two, on eBay. It cost me $36 and I really like it. It's sterling silver with white gold plated, which sounds pretty good too.

Actually, I wrote about it a couple of days back. It's the necklace from the Korean drama "Stairway To Heaven", only in a better version - I've made a decision to try to stick to better quality jewellery since, I have too much crap that is cheap and the colour fades after a short while.
Then, my sister bought me a new knit-tunic (shirt) from H&M. - It was sold out everywhere, even though they just arrived in the stores this Thursday. But for such a killer price, I can't say I'm surprised. The price is DKK 79,75 which is about $14.5 and £ 8.5 !
(I know the picture is pretty crappy, but I believe you get the pattern etc?)

I Want # 1

So, I've been looking at ankle boots for a while without really finding any that I like or that I can afford.

I've been eyeing this pair from ASOS, but unfortunately they are already sold out long ago.

Aren't they fab?







My alternative is something I can't afford at all. From Ted Baker and in real leather, but price is £ 100, which is way over my budget. I know that great leather boots costs around that amount, but I won't be able to afford it, since I'm on a tight budget as I'm saving up for my trip to Australia next year.

But I'll flash them anyway, in case you are interested? - You can buy them at ASOS

Spotted on eBay # 1

So, my first relevant post. I'll make it sort since I have to write a ridiculous essay that is due tomorrow.

Here is a post that combines both my passion for fashion and for entertainment, more specifically Asian ET.

Do you remember the heart-breaking Korean drama "Stairway To Heaven"? - Well I certainly do, I remember crying through almost every episode, because Han Jung-Suh (played by Choi Ji-Woo) had such a terrible life and she even ended up dying in the end.

Do you also remember the popular necklace that she shared with her friend, boyfriend and husband Cha Song-Joo (played by Kwon Sang-Woo) ? I do, since it had such a special meaning to their relationship.

Well, it's currently available on eBay for a "Buy it now" price at US $39.99

Check it out on eBay

I'm into fashion as well !

Alright, I think most of you know "me" through mack91.blogspot.com where I focus on entertainment - tv shows, dramas and music.

I've decided to create a blog dedicated to fashion. - Well, not professional fashion but just you know personal, day-to-day fashion.

I won't be updating like every day, since I have both mack91, school and work to focus on. But I'll update as often as I can.
