The World’s most expensive purse sold for about $203,000!!

Some people are crazy when it comes to fashion, they will pay a great amount of money to satisfy themselves with fashionable items. about a week ago, the most expensive purse was sold for exactly $203,150. as reported by Women's Wear Daily, it is made by the famous brand Hermes. The handbag was sold at an auction in Dallas where an anonymous person broke the world record for the highest amount of money ever bid on a purse. The auctioneers were extremely surprised by the price that the handbag was sold for, and it exceeded their highest expectations, as they said."The pricey purse was an Hermes Birkin, easily one of the most iconic and expensive handbags ever made". Women's Wear Daily reported that the handbag was made of 18K white gold, red crocodile skin, and diamond. The first Hermes Birkin ever made was in 1984, it was made for actress Jane Birkin who had the first piece which was a very important thing in fashion history. In April 2010, Hermes started making the Birkin again but in limited editions which led to having many people put their names on waiting lists so that they would get the chance to buy the handbag, which were also expensive and the cheapest ones were about $8,000 to $10,000. "The bags come in four sizes, all of which are lined with goatskin, and prices can vary depending on the materials used on the exterior". I think in my opinion that paying $200,000 for a handbag is an extremely waste of money which could help many people around the world that are starving because of how pour they are. This amount of money paid on a handbag that might be out of fashion in the next year or so, is too much and this money could have been given to people that really need it, but then again we can't forget that some people suffer for fashion and are shopaholics.

HATS the new trend

All types of hats are so fashionable this season, hats were all over Autumn/Winter 2011 catwalks: Gucci, Lanvin, John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, etc. It seems like we’re really back to the times where your outfit can’t be completed without a hat. Usually, hats are "necessary" winter items as they would help keep your gentle head always warm. However, today I want you to start thinking of it as an accessory that would add more chic and style to your looks. It’s as if you’re deciding to wear a necklace or a very nice belt. Hats are so fashionable and important to complete your outfits, i think that you should know when and how to wear a hat, some points are: 

1) Always make sure the hat shape you’ve picked really suits you face.

2) Try not to play it too matchy when picking the right hat for your outfit.

3) Print Hats are very fashionable this season

4) Try to always have a bit of hair showing out of the hat; whether from the front or back of your head.

5) If your outfit is already too accessorized, avoid wearing a hat as it should stand out.

6 ) As for when to wear a hat; well by day or night, it doesn’t make any difference as long as it really matches your look for the event.

UGGS worldwide!!

4_big
The story of Uggs started in Australia where surfers used to wear them between sessions for warmth, because of the great quality of the sheepskin in Australia which helped surfers get natural warmth, to dry their feet, and for comfort. Nowadays Uggs have spread all over the world; people are wearing Uggs because they are in fashion. Many people even wear Uggs in summer, others wear them on a rainy or snowy day even though they aren’t very practical and all of this is to follow fashion. Wherever you go you see men and women wearing Uggs, also what helped in spreading them worldwide was the celebrity that wore them and made them even more fashionable, just like in these two pictures. I personally love wearing my uggs because they are very comfortable and are very good for winter since they give us warmth, but i don't like wearing them when its raining because they let the water go in and ruin them.

A $2.5 Million Bra!!

Every year Victoria's Secret show takes place and has a surprise for everyone, and in this years show, it surprised everyone with a $2.5 million bra that was worn by Miranda Kerr. The aqua push-up bra "is handset with 3,500 precious gems, 142 carats of white and yellow diamonds- including two 8-carat white diamonds and two 14- plus carat yellow diamonds in the center of the bra- pearls, faceted citrines, and aquamarines, all of which are set in 18-karat white gold."  I personally think that think kind of ideas is something that is over and its just to show Vectoria's Secret fans something new since no one will actually buy it, and to also show the fans what the company can do and how much it can do. So would you buy this $2.5 million dollar bra??

Men's fashion

In the past few months, fashion weeks across Prais, Milano, New York and many other places were filled with mens labels which were and still are all over the catwalk with hot new looks. Surprisingly, many trends girls are loving right now are just as in style for men this season. Take a look at this picture, men's fashion this season stands out because it shows us that bright colors aren't only for girls but they're for men too! I think that it is very attractive for a man to follow fashion and be up-to-date with fashion since its not only the women today that are following new trends. I believe that men should be informed and encouraged to follow fashion and become up to date with everything that goes around them. Don't you think that there should be more men's fashion magazines around the world??

Hermes launches luxury limited edition Indian saris

French luxury goods maker Hermes International has launched a limited edition Indian sari range to "connect" with Indian culture as it target buyers in new markets. Indian women love to hold on to their traditions, so even though they wear Western dresses in their work or on an everyday basis, they prefer to wear an elegant sari on weddings and important events, and that’s why Hermes started making the luxurious saris.  The president of Hermes, Bertrand Michaud, said that releasing the saris was part of their plan to connect with India's culture and the elegance of India's women.  The Hermes saris are targeted to the wealthy Indian women, because the prices vary between $6,120 and $8,158.  Hermes is aiming to win new luxury buyers all over the world in different markets. The saris were made in Paris and with variety of fabrics from cashmere to twill silk.  Luxury brands in India are usually in five star hotels or malls, but Hermes chose to open its Mumbai store in a renovated colonial era street-level building, and Michaud says that Hermes wants to be part of Indian life.  I think that the saris are a very good step for Hermes that will succeed because it is expanding and connecting with different cultures around the world.
