 Its not secret as far as bags are concerned the creme della creme for any fashion lover,  is the Hermes Birkin. In part, because it is such a unique bag, but also because it's not easy to get your hands on one. Like at all.  For a hand bag that carries a price tag starting at $20,000 its not a cheap bag by no means,  but even if you spend half your life saving for the bag. You cant walk into the Hermes store with your 20k in hand and ask for a Birkin. That is a fast way to be told 'Sorry we don't have that bag'. Just like the Da Vinci code, you need to have analysed the solar flare index, made sure the air temperature is above 24.5 degrees and that is 9am on the fourth Friday of the month.  To be offered a Birkin, you need to reach a status level, that is you spend a certain amount of money at the store throughout a year (and it also helps if you become friends with a sales associate) to be called up when the store receives stock. While Hermes doesn't actually ...

 It's no secret the home of fashion and style are the forefront of most fashionistas minds when it comes to September. Not just known for being the home of the 3 P's (that is pizza, pasta and pane or bread), Italy is the birth place of high fashion. From the high end labels to small boutique shops, it is a quote-unquote rule that Italian's know how to dress. But whether you are keeping up with the Kardashians or the Joneses, fashion especially on the high end scale moves rather quickly and you can become outdated in an instant.  I sat down with a professional stylists to see their views on the current ins and outs of what is trending in the fashion world. And spoiler, being stylish has never been cheaper than what it is right now.  From a professional stylist, the most current fashion trend is to accentuate your accessories. Yes! that is correct. You could be wearing a $10 plain top with jeans, but a paired with expensive high heels  or designer belt, and your whole ...

 2020 has been one giant... i'm just going to say it Cluster duck of a year. But from trial comes triumph, with some companies absolutely flourishing and some gurgling down the toilet. The unfortunate need for companies to pivot, has left some with no choice but to close down. From fashion shows being streamed online, and shop closures. Luxury has relied heavily on their online presence to continue their revenue and trading through the pandemic. With many economist predicting an economic down turn, decrease in sales and all round shrinkage in the luxury niche.  I am of the opinion that the luxury category was only minimally affected by this crisis, and i think the recent black Friday sales have proved that the desire for luxury items is well and truly alive and well. With Valentino nearly selling out of their sale items within the first 48 hours.  I know crazy right?! and Valentino wasn't the only luxury brand that experienced literal sell out crowds, with Dior, Balenciag...
