Brands. @ 10:51 PM
Everyone knows that "Brands" cost more. Much, much more than the fake "Los Angeles" of "Lonsdale London", the mispelt Dolce & Gabana or the extra letter added to any brand that would cost you 3x more than the fake. The global market has begun to think of new loopholes, to sell almost exact copies of a Gucci handbag you just walked past or that Burberry bag,wallet & shirt that was displayed in a glass cabinet armed with security; turn around and you find an exact same copy sold at a ridiculously low price of $30.

Sure, it's missing that authentication, but really? I remember seeing 6 women in the city carrying the same Oroton handbag, were they real, or were they fake? Did they look like they could afford it? I don't know. The fashion industry has become so easily to manipulate that expensive brands turned fake are hard to distinguish ; unless it's purely obvious.

For me, carrying expensive brands like Gucci,Chanel, Prada etc is out of question. I could be carrying an authentic bag but try to convince others to think the same. No can do. Carry a fake , and no one would comment, why? Because you don't boast & brag in front of everybody that you have the real thing, makes you seem....kind of snobby. It's up to others to decide that ( gold/leather etc doesn't count, because it's easy to tell weather it's real or fake).

I think I can label myself as a brand whore. True, I like my logos large; the Lonsdale London lion logo to be visible, the Original Adidas logo to be distinctive on my hoodie. It is because it is hard to imitate branded sport clothes with the need to change a letter or an image that makes branded sports wear the hardest to manipulate and fake. :) So my love for the sports brands still stands :) You know what, I guess I like the whole range ; good quality, price is er, LOL -cough- " I GET LUCKY, OKAY". And style? 11/10.



 
Cee.

Less about me, and more about you honey ;) But just to put it out there, one day hopefully, I would be able to go celebrity hopping with my drama-crazed high school friends. I don't know when that is going to happen, but if it does, then I'm happy we kept connected ;)Hotties, here we come & promise us that all of you will stay hot&sexy ♥ Okay, so this is just an extra just to explain the ever-changing picture at the very top of my blog which is not part of my posts :) I'll change it according to what I like at the time Presently it's : SHINee .
