Zara Spring 2010 Campaign

hmmm very AlexanderWangesque....but nevertheless I still love it

Zara & Chloe...

I bought these shoes last week from Zara & I am in l-o-v-e with them! I really like to wear heels but sometimes heels can make me feel over-dressed esp. when I'm only going to work. &&& so that's what attracted me to these shoes, the perfect solution to my problem...pow! wedges! What I like about wedges is that when you wear them noone realizes why you appear a few inches taller = ) &&& a pair with laces are casual enough for everyday wear. The other reason why I decided to buy these pair was because they remind me of a wedge style by Chloe take a looksie...

So what do you ladies think about wedges?

Zara Men's F/W 2010

I love all the looks! Now I see exactly why I chose to work at Zara. = )

Bebe Does Balmain

Every season I make a style shopping-list. The list usually consists of clothing and shoes that I want or plan to buy. Being that it's more like a wish-list I sometimes include things that in reality I may not get around to buying. = (

So for Fall09 #3 on my list is: own something Balmain. Currently, I am a college student with no financial aid for tuition = ( and I only have a part-time retail job...sooo I highly doubt I will cross #3 off sometime this year. LoL.

But hey it's wishful thinking! Besides can you imagine NOT feeling like an ultimate stylista in a fab creation by Balmain something like this one from the Fall 2008 collection...

Maybe Balmain dresses are so exspensive because each piece is sprinkled with magic sexy dust. = )

And the celebs love Balmain just like me too!

I hope that my readers are not tired of my knockoff/ designer look-alike posts. I realized that lately I have been making a lot of knockoff posts and also have been writing a lot about Balmain..but I will not stop because every woman deserves a little Balmain in her life whether it's an authnetic Balmain piece or a Balaminesque piece.

I know that my store Zara has ripped-offed every great design from Balmain for their F/W collection. The studded shoes, military/band jackets, tie-dyed jeans...the list goes on. But after visiting Bebe I see they are also gulity as charged when it comes to committing the copycat crime. However, I do not care let them copy all they want because that's what FastFashion stores are for & I love to shop at both Zara & Bebe!!!

Got a serious case of Balmania? Bebe may be able to cure you...

Balmain Spring 09

Balmain is one of my favorite collecions. Rockerchic is really cool.

It's so crazy because my job has these Balmain look-alikes and women are dying to have their hands on them. Since these pretty damn good knockoffs came in the store two weeks ago I think I get about at least 5 customers a day asking for them. Let alone the nonstop phone calls to place the shoes on hold. I understand all the hype being that at Balmain they are in the thousand price point and at Zara they are $169.00...besides they both look like the same cheesy rhinestones were used!lmfao.
