Look Alike Valentino Garavani Rockstud Sholder Bag

When I sometimes see pictures of my favorite Celebrities or Instagramers flaunting amazing accessories and then badly wish I could possess some of those handbags but console myself by telling myself that those accessories are out of my reach. Well, this is a situation I come across quite a lot.

Well, I have had the chance to own a very similar bag to one of these seen by Celebrates and on Instagram. It's not exactly a bag that many stars and Instagrammers carry yet it's still a great look alike and be a bag on my wishlist for a while.

The Valentino Garavani Rockstud Shoulder Bag closely resembles the real genuine one that's carried by celebrities but actually this one cost far less. Finding a bag like this for more than half the price was a fantastic bargain and it enabled me to have the look-alike bag for less.

I Find this Valentino Garavani Rockstud Shoulder Bag to be just as great as the original one just without the designer logo and serial number. This cheaper version bag will go so well with my genuine Valentino Rockstud Rolling Black Leather Kitten-Heel Pumps as seen in the post before 'My Valentino Rockstud Rolling Black Leather Kitten-Heel Pumps' and the images below:

The reason why these very best designer bags are so expensive is that Celebrities and Instagrammers spend a lot to create a buzz about their latest products. They get the big stars and famous Instagrammers to come to their boutiques and launch their product lines or post about them.
This involves a lot of expenditure and eventually, the normal standard customer ends up paying a good deal more than the cost of actually making the product.

If you want to get a similar Valentino bag on a budget for half the price, then click on the link below at the end of the post and grab yourself a barging like me and buy the cheaper version when you can't exactly afford the genuine real expensive one.

If want to achieve the hot movie star look on a budget, you should not buy from a famous celebrity because you will ultimately end up paying a hell lot more than is actually necessary simply because you have to foot the bills of the endorsements and also indirectly pay the shop rent of the ostentatiously furnished boutiques. If you are aware of the real estate rates in the upmarket parts of the metropolitan cities, you will understand that celebrities seem to charge an illogically high amount for their products.

Bags that don't hold value!

Not every designer bag you ladies buy will always be 'value for money'. Sometimes when buying and then choosing to sell your designer bag means you ladies will not make much of a profit. Wouldn't it be nice to know some of the ones which lose and don't hold their value? Well, unless you ladies just want to buy a designer bag because you totally love it and don't care about that factor, I'd say go for it.

I would call these bags which hold value an 'investment piece'. I'm sure many of you ladies would love to know which exact bags are not an 'investment piece'. Knowing this, you could then decide for yourself ladies whether you still want to purchase that bag or not.

So let me begin with the list of bags which lose and don't hold 'their value' (Remember these are not in any order of value):

1. Seasonal Bags -  These bags are a big hit and in trend over a season eg: Spring, Summer, Winter.  Here are some examples of the ones within the brand:


                                                                         Chanel

                                                            


                                                                   Louis Vuitton

                                                
                                                                          Valentino        

2. Burberry Bags - These bags tend to usually have the same design and style and therefore do not go up too much in value compared to other designer bags.

3. Mulberry Bags - They are known for their similar shape, style, and design which doesn't help to increase the value of these bags to much in the bag market.

4. Louis Vuitton Speedy  - is a classic and standard Louis Vuitton design rang of them which sells out quickly and is seen as a cheaper pre-loved bag when wanting to save money on this bag or if you ladies can't afford to pay the full out.

5.  Chloe Paddington Bag - This is such a classic old style bag which is not much longer in high trend and demand, therefore, the value is slightly lost in the bag. If you are struggling to picture which bag this here is a photo:

The more popular the bag, the more value it will hold. Sometimes these bags can decrease in value, however, this is rare and usually goes up in value. The most popular bags which hold the most value are the very classic Chanel bags and some of them seen to go up in value slightly as well.

I hope this post has helped and you lot have enjoyed reading it :)

Trip to Warszawa (Warsaw)

Hey guys,

I know it has been a while since my last post and I would like to apologise for this. I have had a busy few good weeks as you can see from the name in the post, I visited Warszawa (Warsaw) a few weeks ago and then coming back to some catching up to do at work and with few people outside of work.

Warszawa (Warsaw) is the capital of my home town and whilst it can be slightly embarrassing to be from Poland and have never actually been to the Capital of Poland right up until now. I can say it was well worth the trip as there are many things to see and visit. Warszawa (Warsaw) can be seen as a much different from the other usual typical places in Poland and this therefore makes it very intriguing to visit, not only for people from Poland but also around the world.

I stayed in a lovely hotel; Ibis Hotel which is a fantastic place to stay for someone visiting Warszawa (Warsaw) from outside out of Poland. I say this because everything inside the hotel can be read and got in English. The staff even speak English and it is highly popular place to stay if wanting to stay close to the old town part of Warszawa (Warsaw) and is also handy because you can use the train, bus, trams, bike or walk to all the other things around the old town in other areas to see and visit.

Bar inside the Ibis hotel.  

Day 1 -

On day one I visited The Palace of Culture and Science. It is a place were various companies take place, public institutions, and cultural activities like; concerts, cinema, theatres, library, museum events and sport clubs. within this area you can walk into different buildings for all these different things as well as go to the top of the building and see the whole area from the top.

Not far from the Palace of Culture and Science was the big shopping centre and being a girl I just had to visit it and have a little shopping trip. Inside there was a mixture of Polish shops to the European ones like New Look, H&M, Zara and Pandora. just outside the shopping centre is Hard Rock Café. When heading into the shopping centre I could see the Hard Rock Café was pretty busy with many people heading in and out as well as sitting outdoor and enjoying a drink in the gorgeous warm, sunny weather.

Inside the shopping centre.

After doing a bit of shopping it was time to take a break and have a nibble and cool down. I sat down for a fresh cocktail and polish food in a place where you pay for how much you put on your plate. Basically they weigh your food and you pay by the weight. I must say you couldn't eat in a cheaper place and such a cool and different idea which I had never seen done before.  

Day 2 -

On the second day I went and visited Lazienki Park. It's a lovely and beautiful park to visit, especially in the hot and stunning weather I had.  It was designed in the 17th century and has been open for the public since.  I must admit the park is just as big as Battersea park. Its a lovely and pretty park however doesn't compare to the parks in London. 

The next stop was a Museum which is popular and know to many in Warszawa (Warsaw). Copernicus Science Centre which is a Science Museum standing on the bank of the Vistula River in Warszawa (Warsaw). The Centre is the largest institution of its type in Poland and one of the most advanced in Europe.

In the evening I went to see the Old Town. It has many pub, bars and places to eat across the area as well churches, Royal Castle, Old Historical Building and the University is not far. I would say it is the main attraction in Warszawa (Warsaw) for the tourist. Once on the market square, you can also visit the Literature Museum and the Historical Museum of Warsaw. The Historical Museum focuses on the culture, art, and history of Warsaw, collected for centuries by various cultural organizations and the University of Warszawa (Warsaw). The other Literature Museum, has been named after Poland’s greatest writer and poet, Adam Mickiewicz, who is considered the pioneer and most important artist of the Polish Romanticism.

You can see a big figure of the Sigisuma's Collumm from the square of this Old Town as well which can be seen by the tourist from many different angles Or the Mermaid Statue. Both beautiful figure seen in the town as a memory to the Old Town.

Warszawa's (Warsaw's) Royal Castel is something which you can't miss when walking around the old town as it dominates the big Castel square which marks the end of the historical royal route and the entry of the Old Town. The Royal Castel was reconstructed in the 1980s after World War II bombing.

Day 3 -

On the third and final day in Warszawa (Warsaw) I visited the University Roof Top Garden which was a gorgeous view across Warszawa (Warsaw) and a lovely beautiful very green and well kept garden where you can just spend the day and sit around or maybe have a picnic or read a book and relax.

During that day I also visited the Polish Stadium called 'Narodowy Stadion' where a lot of the Polish games are played. Its rather a huge stadium which to be honest I wasn't expecting for it to be so big. Its quite an experience to stand around and look down onto the football pitch and not something I would usually do yet it was worth experience and not only seeing a football pitch from the home screen.

I had a lovely time here visiting and getting to know the Capital of my home town and one day I will be back to visit and explore again seeing some of the same things as well as many of the other still yet to see. It's to big of a place to visit everything in such a big place within the short time I was there.

All the three day spent there I had a fabulous time and beautiful very hot weather to enjoy unlike England at the time. Well we can all say it's different now, being this week is much hotter then most countries and you don't have to spend money going aboard. Right I know though its not the same feeling through but still nice to get this weather in England. Lets all ask ourselves how long will it last before it goes back to the old boring weather.

Well I hope you have enjoyed this post and it has given you some insight where to see and visit at some point. Love to hear your opinions on the place after reading this post.

OOTD Detail No.3

I haven't actually done an Outfit Post in a while and I would like to share with you another one of these post. I hope you enjoy this post.

I present to you; a simple spring look for the warm sunny days yet not totally warm yet. I like Spring because it allows me to hide my body not showing to much. It means I don't have to wear a big style jacket and instead can swap it now for a simple cardigan, blazer or kimono which means you would be able to see my outfit better and not have to hide it under my coat.

This is one of my typical outfits I would wear and it can be worn with sandals, heels and even flat shoes depending on what you like and feel comfortable wearing to the outfit. If wanting to you could also change the outfit up and wear a black top if wanting to wear the same outfit but change the look up a little.

Outfit details:  White Floral Embroidered Lace Bolero Jacket (River Island), White V-neck Top (Miss Selfridge), Blue Knee Ripped Jeans (New Look).  

White and Khaki Zipper Espadilles

I could not miss buying these nice but different Zipper Espadrilles when I was at River Island the other day. Yes they did come from the kids section however these shoes still ranged in a few bigger sizes (U.K - 3,4,5). They are such a nice pair to wear with a white summer dress or jeans/ leggings and a top.

These nice but different zipper espadrilles will go so well with my Khaki Cindy Leather Crossbody Bag which can be seen below:

Trip to Leicester City

Hey Guys,

I'm sure many of you have heard of Leicester City Or actually been there. I thought I would share with you my day trip to Leicester and you can hear my thoughts and opinions about the City itself.

Traveling from my area to Leicester took me around 1hour 53minutes to get to by car, driving along the first ever motorway built M1. On arrival to Leicester I drove past many houses, churches and parks before actually reaching the centre of Leicester.

Leicester is a Historic Town with many old buildings; St. Nicholas Church, Rupert's Gateway which now stands on Castle View, Medieval Buildings, Guildhall, Old Pubs and many more. It is the oldest City in England with a modern shopping centre built in 2008. There is also a University very close by to the Town City Centre.

Its quite a big town City in my opinion. I got quite lost being there for the first time however by the end of the trip got familiar with only the shopping centre area which is a bit sad I know but at least I found my way around somewhere, hahaha. Leicester has many things to view, if your interested in the history, for me it was just something that was just along the way so I thought why not check out a few of these historic buildings. I myself find Leicester to be different from most City towns and as much as it was a nice trip down, I find its not a place I would much like to revisit. In my opinion I am so luckily to live close by so many great places I can get to like Windsor, lots of parts of London, Guildford, Reading and many more, yet I can still go on a day trip or few days away to places like Leicester, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds. Speaking of these places, I have not actually visited any of them other then this one as I write this post. Maybe at some point I'll visit them but for now I have just returned from this Historic Town a few days ago.

Leicester has some pretty descent shops for an Historic Town and much more of a range of shops compared to Windsor (the Queen's town) yet they are still ok for going shopping to for someone who lives in the South East of Berkshire and don't want to travel far. I seem to have found when shopping round in Leicester for it to be very over crowded and I don't know if that was just on the day and my luck. I kept seeing to find the locals just pushing between one another and I know some of you are properly thinking, really but compared to the big London crowds it was much more crowded in Leicester then London. This may be because London is much bigger and spacious, that you don't actually feel so so crowded when shopping around. Yet as I said it could have just been my luck on the day, who knows.

Leister as a whole was a nice and different trip which I would recommend to visit at some point and get a feel about the historic town for yourself however I don't feel as if it is a hot spot.

So here are a few Snap Shot photos of my Trip:

Style File: Let's Work 3 Classic Jeans Styles...

If you ask any girl what her favourite piece of clothing is, I can guarantee you most girls out there would say jeans.

Each and everyone one of us has a favourite pair of jeans that we can't go without because they are your comfiest or maybe because you feel and look great in them. Whatever the reason might be I know each and everyone of you has that favourite pair and what better way then to remember that all jeans no mater that being the favourite pair or not, always need a little fashion up do with them to get the best wear possible out of them.

I would love to show you 3 great ways to wear your jeans in this post:

1. Skinny Jeans -

These jeans can give a girl that Funky Rock Chick style as well as sleek and stylish look. Skinny Jeans can practically be worn with anything and you could wear a big print T-shirt underneath any jacket and maybe add a scarf over your neck for a gorgeous and stylish trendy look.

Skinny Jeans are great because it suits all ages and can show off that gorgeous figure of yours. I know some of you girls might not like the idea of full-length super skinny then choose a pair that will fit just above the ankle or ones with zips on the side of them. This style of jeans will make a great look with any pair of shoes. I suggest however styling them up with a stripy top, a hair of flats and a classic trench coat or blazer for a Parisian Chic.

Tips:

• Do not try to squeeze into a pair of skinnies that don't fit at the hips or waist making your flabs hang out too much, why not try a size up or different style of jeans which you will look better in and flaunt your figure.
• You don't have to be super skinny to wear skinnies however if you don't feel good and comfortable in them then I would recommend not wear them.
• You can style these skinny jeans with practically anything you like and feel great wearing as they are a style of jeans that can be worn with different tops, shoes and accessories.

2. Straight jeans -  

Straight Leg Jeans are a good all-rounder and is a great pair for you older girls as it doesn't dictate full on fashion style or look. Working Straight Leg Jeans can be made very fashionable by adding that extra bit of your own style to it.

This is a quote what Gok (the stylist) said about these Jeans 'Straight Jeans will give you a leaner look and a dynamic Derriere too, gorgeous!' which stands out to me every time I think about Straight Leg Jeans.

Regardless of your age or shape, you can work a denim look by wearing a plain one colour tone T-shirt along with a blazer or denim jacket. Put a pair of loafers with the look to finish it off and feel more comfortable to be on your feet for the day. If you girls want a smarter look then instead of loafers why not style the look up with a pair of courts or wedges.

 Tips:

• Remember Straight Legs will suit any shape and figure.
• Petite or Boyish frame then Straight Leg Jean will give a more defined outline for you girls.
• Curvy girls if you like wearing skinny jeans however don't feel to great in them, I recommend trying a Straight Leg instead.

3. Bootcut Jeans -

Bootcut Jeans may not be so much in trend right now yet they can still be pulled off to make you girls look great in them. The idea behind them was that, they wear designed to sit over a pair of cowboy boots and worn mainly down on the ranch or out in town. This style of jeans is ideal for any shape .

I would say wearing these Bootcuts, to pair it up with a vest top and leather jacket and some sandals well that's if your tall or a petite chick. For other kind of figures and girls I suggest a longer V-neck style of top with some girly details such as ruffles on the sleeves.

Tips:

• Pear-shaped girls remember these Bootcut Jeans being wider at the bottom will just make you look wide all over and that is not a great look you pear-shaped girls would want. Am I not right?
• Seventies flavour crease draws eyes away from your hips and lengthen your legs.
• Make this look your own by adding that special piece which represents you with all this in mind for Bootcut Jeans.

The one and most important thing when choosing and buying a pair of any kind of jean is not to be scared of the size on the label. This is because jeans that actually fit will make you look 10 times better.

Remember this key fact: Having to much elastic on your jeans is not a good idea as this will stretch too much especially around the waist and bum area and can give you that elusion of wearing too big jeans. Therefore check the label and go for 2% elastic or anything under to have a better fit and look great.
