Burberry Square Dial Nova Check Watch

2011-12-21T11:42:00.001Z

Here's a tip on a great watch from Burberry that has a classic look (I would even dare to say that it has a Cartier-ish look). For those who cannot afford a 2-3000 GBP watch this is a good alternative.

This watch model is called Burberry Square Dial Nova Check Watch and in UK it costs 295 GBP. Here's a link to the website.

There's also a few other beautiful watches by Burberry that are very classic looking timepieces. Diamond Inset Bracelet Watch by Burberry is highly similar to Square Dial Nova Check Watch and is equally elegant and beautiful:

This inspired me to look online for more leopard print dresses and I found this cute one again from Dolce & Gabbana at net-a-porter.com:

Juicy Couture Cardigan with Buttons on the Back

2011-10-27T22:29:00.000+01:00

Have you seen anyone wear cardigans the opposite way around, i.e with buttons at the back? I've noticed this on a few people, and although maybe it's not the hottest trend, it does give something extra to the outfit. So I started looking around for cardigans that would look good worn this way and I found this cute pullover, that is made to look as if you're wearing a cardigan the opposite way around, with the buttons at your back. You can get it for about 158 USD (Bloomingdale's stock this cardigan says shopstyle.com).

Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Baby Groove

2011-09-26T16:32:00.001+01:00

Purchased this quite Marc by Marc Jacobs bag a few weeks ago:

(source Shopstyle.com)

The model's called Classic Q Baby Groove and it's really quite a cutie. At 358 USD it's a great option for an everyday bag. I chose this brownish color as I thought it would go well with almost anything, but was tempted to buy one in hot pink! Black is also available in the stores.

This bag is the ultimate lady's bag. It's elegant. It's gorgeous. It's classic. It's Chanel. Need I say more?

One day it will be mine, but not anytime soon unfortunately.

High Quality Laptop Bags from Knomo

2010-11-06T23:39:00.000Z

If I ever need a new laptop bag I will not look anywhere else but Knomo. They have the most gorgeous laptop bags (and sleeves!) in all colors, shapes and forms. I absolutely love them all, Knomo is definitely my favourite brand for laptop bags and sleeves. They're very durable also - I've had mine for the past 3 years and it's holding up very well.

Here are my favourite Knomo laptop bags. These two are called Lola and are absolutely gorgeous. Especially the second one - it looks like a great shopping tote and not just a bag for your laptop.

And how about this elegant Knomo laptop sleeve? I think this one is to die for! Too bad I no longer need to carry my laptop anywhere, otherwise I'd be buying this one right now.

Check out more Knomo laptop bags on their website www.knomobags.com.

Cheap designer handbags? Discount authentic bags? No, thanks!

2010-11-03T20:51:00.000Z

All women (and men for that matter) would love to be able to buy lots and lots of designer bags and other luxury items. However, unless you are Victoria Beckham or Paris Hilton, you probably have some concerns about the finances required for this type of "hobby". Most of us would love to find cheap or discounted designer purses, but please be careful! If you are looking to buy a designer bag online - watch out for counterfeit purses and knock-offs.

If you see a website that advertises "Cheap Designer Bags!", "Discount Authentic Louis Vuistton Handbags", "Hermés Purses for Less", and so on, do study carefully what kind of shop this is, where the bags come from, and look for reviews from people who actually bought from this site. Some might actually be selling authentic handbags.

If you see a site that says "Very Cheap Designer Handbags from China!" - you are better off staying away. It's no secret that most of fake designer bags come from China, so try not to buy from sites that advertise designer handbags from China.

For more info and tips on buying designer bags online:

If you can't afford to buy a designer bag - rent it

And don't forget the stores/resellers I recommended a while ago - Let-Trade and Luxury Shops. For more info go to the post Chanel Handbags for Less, You Ask?

Daria Werbowy Style

2010-06-21T13:01:00.000+01:00

I came across a few pictures of model Daria Werbowy and I must say I like her style. Daria Werbowy is really beautiful and I really enjoy looking at pictures of her. Here are a few photos where I really like Daria's style - chic, but with an edge.

Daria Werbowy in what appears to be a sequined jacket over a simple white top. I like the outfit in this picture - simple but beautiful.

Chanel Handbags for Less, You Ask?

2010-03-14T18:15:00.002Z

So, you have been dreaming about a Chanel purse for years, but have not been able to fork up the cash required? Well, don't hang your head low - you can actually find authentic Chanel handbags for less! Obviously, one way would be to go around charity shops and hope for the best. But what about finding authentic Chanel bags for sale online? That's not impossible, too. I personally can advise you two online shops where you can buy authentic Chanel handbags. These are not the only online stores out there, there surely are more, but I leave it to you to do the research and recommend them.

The stores I fully trust and know for a fact they sell authentic designer purses are Let Trade and Luxury Shops. Let Trade is an ebay based handbags store, which has existed for years. Luxury Shops has been reselling authentic bags for less for years, too. Both offline and online.

Celebrities love their Chloe Paraty bags

2009-10-08T13:45:00.001+01:00

Chloe Paraty bag seems to be somewhat of an "it" bag these days. Looking through fashion magazines and tabloids you can't help seeing celebrities wearing their paraty bags. Therefore I've decided to put together a little gallery of celebrities wearing their Chloe Paraty bags, amongst which you will find Alessandra Ambrosio, Heidi Montag, Charlize Theron, Rachel Zoe, Lindsay Lohan, Kylie Minogue and more. Enjoy!

Folli follie - charms watches - elephant

2009-10-06T21:14:00.000+01:00

I've recently discovered a brand called Folli follie. It looks like it's originally from Greece, but has stores all over Europe and even a few in America.

The jewelery is really nice and cute, but oh how gorgeous are the watches! Check out for example my favourite - Charm Elephant Watch:

It's stainless steel with crystal stones and mineral glass. It's simply beautiful. The charms are really adorable and the actual watch is very cute.

This charm elephant watch costs 150 euros, which I don't think is all that bad for such a good-looking watch.

New Blog

2009-04-22T16:54:00.010+01:00

Found this new blog through a friend (of a friend of a friend of a friend...) It's very new, so I thought I'd help out kick-starting its online life.

So here it is, Where Fashion Meets Commerce - a blog of a London City girl, struggling in the crazy world of the financial crisis. So far it’s hard to tell which way this blog will go, but so far it seems to be a personal diary, but also very much fashion-oriented. It has an interesting take on the business world from a glamorous, feminine point of view

Louis Vuitton Astrid wallet

2009-03-03T19:09:00.004Z

I love the looks of this lovely Astrid wallet. It seems to also be quite useful, with the very practical pocket in front. It even has a small zip-pocket inside and lots of slots for all those cards that you never can find place for.
