If I ever wished to find an amazing vintage piece in my mom’s or grandma’s closet that would definitely be a Chanel Classic Flap Bag. Not that I complain about the things that I already found in there. There are all indeed treasures with so much sentimental value. From clothes to jewellery and other accessories. Reminders of the past decades, specially made by seamstresses based specifically on your body. An era, when the clothes were unique and of good quality and not produced massively.
Returning to the subject, I always liked classic pieces that can be worn with numerous outfits all over the years. And what is more classical than Chanel?
Spring weather came with new purchases for me, a new pair of shoes and a new bag. I saw the bag in a shop window the other day, and knew immediately that it was exactly what I was looking for this whole time. You see, I had my eyes on the Mulberry’s Alexa bag from the first time I saw it, wishing I had a spare 940€ so I could buy it. Of course I wouldn’t mind owning a Proenza Schouler PS1 medium leather satchel either, given the similarities between the two of them, but unfortunately, I also didn’t have 1.365€ lying around (logical!). Given these facts, I was searching for a similar item to them but everything I found was of very poor quality, and not so appealing. Until I came across this one:
Hello dear readers! A few months ago, I found a new way to pass my spare time. I “discovered” a website in which you can play the role of a stylist and dress your models, anyway you like. There are thousands of clothes, bags, shoes and other amazing accessories, which are the real designs/items of numerous brands and designers. Many of you may already know it. I’m talking about Looklet, and if you don’t know it yet, you can pay a visit to the site, to see the looks made by some of the “stylists” or, even better, create a look yourself. It took me months before I created an account there, but once I did I was hooked.
The reason I’m telling you all these, is because I want to show you some of the looks I created, through this site. So, for today I’m going to show you some casual styles I liked the most.
I’m not so proud to admit that I went shopping and spent a respectable amount of money on buying only a few things. Don’t rush into conclusions by thinking that I bought any designer clothes, or other expensive brands, because, it’s far beyond that. I actually went shopping at Zara stores and bought: a coat, a dress, a blouse, a bag, and a pair of shoes (In my defense, they were all from the new Spring-Summer 2011 collection).
I never bought so many staff from Zara, nor did I ever spend so much money on buying things that are usually cheap, in such stores, so this is a first. I used to keep my money, so I could buy something more expensive and more brand-y, but I didn’t find anything worth having. So I decided, why not spend it on something cheaper that I actually like. So this is what I bought.
