What I Want: Chanel Tape Clutch

If you can't already tell, I'm really obsessed with music... it's pretty much right next to fashion. Years ago, when I wasn't able to afford anything over $200, I saw this Chanel clutch. So, for the last few years, I've been obsessed with trying to finding it. I archive things in my head that I haven't been able to get ahold of over the years. When I found this on the Luxirare shop... I literally died because it's the same one I have been looking for, for over half a decade. The price on the clutch is still steep considering how old it is, but since I did get myself an apartment, I won't be able to throw money down on this clutch. If I ever get to find one later on, I would never sell it.

What's in the Closet: Phi knit and leather gloves + vintage Chanel ring

It's a huge shame that Phi had to fold. I loves Phi's stuff... and it's harder to find when you don't live in NYC. These gloves are so well made and buttery soft. I like the concept of the attached knit sleeves. I wish they could detach. These were Fall 2009.

I got this vintage ring at a consignment shop here in NYC a few months back. It's incredibly heavy... When I first saw it, I didn't really realize it was Chanel. What drew me to it was the size of the ring, how it looked like a men's ring and the crest/shield.

Shoe Collection: Chanel slip ons

I use to collect Vans and Converse All Stars all the time. The more limited the better. Since I started to dip into designer shoes more, I saw Karl Lagerfeld make a pair of shoes like the vans slip on. I wanted these so badly!

So, I brought my mom out shopping in SF for the first time (since we lived here when I was 4) and took her into the Chanel Boutique on Maiden Lane. She almost passed out because of how much I spent on a pair of sneakers. I normally don't tell my mom how much I spend on things, but it was the last pair. So I had to have them.

What to Wear Daily: Out

(Chanel cashmere tweed jacket, Diesel skinny jeans, Marc Jacobs Collection shoes)

I can't help but always look conservative when I go out with my friends.

What's in the Closet: Shoe Faves

Vy came over my apartment to hang out and have a drink. I was showing her more of my extensive collection of shoes, when she mentioned she wanted to take a picture of a few of my favorites.

The picture didn't turn out a clear as it could've been but it was a lot of fun doing it.

The majority of the collection includes Marc Jacobs, Manolo Blahnik, Dior, Lanvin, Chanel, and Alexander McQueen.

This is actually her with my Thomas Wylde bag:

What to Wear Daily: Is that a fake?

While I was at work... I was asked a question that I have never been asked. Let me first show you what I was wearing (minus me of course... I don't know why I'm not ready to post pictures of myself on here yet.)

Client: Oh... I love your coat!
Me: Thanks... it's one of my favorite pieces I own.
Client: Is it fake Chanel?
Me: (laughs) There's no reason to have this if it was going to be fake.
Client: Yeah... you are right.

And then we started to discuss about counterfeiting. I have done a few posts about counterfeiting and I will never support it. It's the reason why Louis Vuitton is too expensive to afford. I remember my friend telling me that she had to go to work to do inventory at the Louis Vuitton store here in the SF. They actually do a 10% mark up twice a year. Companies like Chanel and LVMH lose millions of dollars because people continue to do this. It really needs to stop. I would rather wear a label less bag any day compared to something counterfeit. What is the use of wearing something that is suppose to symbolize status when you technically don't have it... right?

Here are some fun detail pics of my outfit. (Chanel cashmere tweed jacket, Mossimo for Target gray linen dress, Marc Jacobs Collection crocodile ivory shoes, vintage and H&M necklaces and MJ rat ring)




I'm sorry I've been holding back with all my good stuff I have. I will honestly try to post more with what I have been wearing.

So, my friend Jackie told me that she wanted to splurge for once ad get something she really really wanted. When these came out we were just guessing how much they would be. I was thinking maybe $895 would be about right, but I was soooo wrong.

These puppies (shown on Leigh Lezark from The Sartorialist) are a whooping $2200. Ouch! Karl... you just know how to make a girl charge up her credit card! *Sigh* God, but even though it has that hefty price... I still want them.
