Materialistic Bastard #03: Givenchy Bird of Paradise

After I've got my Givenchy Censored Pin-Up Scarves, my craving for more Givenchy shifted into over drive. I want more GIVENCHY! And for this time I am craving for another highly coveted Givenchy SS2012 collection print the BIRD OF PARADISE.

I am drooling for the Givenchy's Bird of Paradise prints ever since they have launch it from their Spring Summer 2012 collection. To be specific, I am talking about the Givenchy Bird of Paradise Cotton Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt which is available at MRPORTER with a whopping price tag of GBP 358.33. I know I want it but I am not out of my mind to slave myself on saving up just for a T-Shirt. With a price tag like that its clear I can't afford it. *Boohoo*

Luckily for us mere mortal, LUISA VIA ROMA released an exclusive Givenchy Bird of Paradise Printed Cotton Bandana without the hefty price tag! It comes in two different color *ivory/black and green* measured 70cm by 70cm and made of 100% Cotton which also explain the EUR 65.61 price tag. Its a bargain if you ask me. But, if you feel like spending little bit more than that then maybe the Givenchy Bird of Paradise Silk Crepe Scarf is the one for you. Slightly bigger than the cotton bandana 90cm by 90cm to be precised and made of 100% silk. All scarfs are available for pre-order at LUISA VIA ROMA and will be shipped not later than August 31. So what scarf are you, the fancy one or the low key one *wink wink*

Happy Wednesday!!!

BAGaholic Bastard #3: Werdie Boy Embossed Leather Pouch

I think it is innate for guys to carry stuff as light or minimal as possible. Heck, I even know few friends of mine that go out with just the clothes on their back, cellphones and for some wallets is even optional .*LOL*  And nowadays more and more men are spotted with their portfolio folders, clutches or pouches. Portfolio folders and pouches today is not just confined inside the boardroom, offices and for its functionality many wears them as fashion accent or accessories. And I am a proud member of this trend for I own three clutches myself.

And now I'd like you guys to meet the newest addition to my growing clutch collection Marc by Marc Jacobs Werdie Boy Embossed Leather Pouch. I got this a couple weeks ago already, but before I got this I was comparing this with Pierre Hardy Large Cube-Print Pouch. Both pouches are equally drool worthy but the winning factor of Marc by Marc Jacobs Werdie Boy Embossed Leather Pouch is its 100% leather material which will aged beautifully over time compare to Pierre Hardy Large Cube-Print Pouch coated canvas.

Happy Sunday everyone!!!

Shopaholic Bastard #2: GIVENCHY Censored Pin-Up Scarves

My newest shopping acquisition Givenchy's SS2012 Censored Pin-Up Scarves.

Ever since I saw the Givenchy's SS2012 collection I was obsessing and drooling over the Censored Pin-Up print. I know want it, but because of its "not so friendly price tag" I just can't commit on getting one. Boohoo :-(

Then last week, after reading Bagaholiboy's blog about Givenchy's Pin-Up Scarf and how affordable it is EUR64.28 compared to its prior successors, I know it will going to be a struggle for me to resist. It took me a day to give  in *see I struggle LOL* and I am so happy to get mine before the stock run out at LUISAVIAROMA. It's simply too good to pass up and throw away my chance to own such awesome bargain. It is made of 100% cotton and measures 70cm by 70cm with print of Censored Pin-Up in the middle surrounded by birds, iris blooms, studs. It is more than a scarves for me, it is an ARTWORK.

It is more than a scarves, it is an ARTWORK.
Unboxing :)

Happy Weekend!!!

Shopaholic Bastard #1: ASOS Belts

Aside of it being unconventional, I love the "sailor-ish" vibe.

Belts are one of the most often neglected piece of accessories by guys. Beside serving its functional purpose of holding your trouser in place and preventing you from exposing yourselves *falling trousers LOL* belts also helps to injects fun in your over all look. And no, not all belts are created equally, thus it don't work the same way and it doesn't fit all looks. So, forget those black formal belts *those are for formal occasion only* and try to inject fun and personality in your wardrobe by using belts.

This summer, I am feeling all sailing navy vibe and I am so lucky to have these very unique, unconventional and "sailor-ish" vibes  belts from  ASOS . So without further ado... here's the four  ASOS  Belts that I have acquired this summer:

Most of these belts are already sold out, so you better hurry and act now.

Shoeholic Bastard #2: ZARA Driver with Bow

Do you know the feeling when you at the mall and you are trying things like accessories, clothes or pair shoes and you have that "OMG" moment. Like everything doesn't matter and your mind is screaming "YOU GOTTA HAVE IT!!!" and that is exactly what I felt when I tried on these babies.

I am starting question my being certified "BAGAHOLIC", because of the last five months I bought more shoes than bags. Maybe I am a SHOES addict without me knowing it.

Without any further ado here's the shoes that make me question my "identity" *LOL*the ZARA Driver with Bow! Oh... I don't know where to start maybe to its electric blue suede or its elegant look or its ohhh soooo comfortable padded sole! What not to love about it?! For HKD699.00 a pair its a "no brainer" I gotta have it! :-D

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Materialistic Bastard #2: McQ Gold Razor Bracelet

If this McQ Gold Razor Bracelet doesn't make you look "bad ass" I give up. I just adore its wide razor shape gold hardware combine with black leather and metal buckle it so dangerous looking. If I'm not mistaken this awesome bracelet first came out last summer 2011 and ever since it become a staple for the brand. I always want to buy this over YOOX but I am afraid it might too small for me and I don't want to waste my time on buying it and returning it the same time. So I have an serious thinking before buying this bad-ass bracelet. What do you think should I take the risk it?

Materialistic Bastard #1: ASOS Retro Suede Two Tone Shoes

I am feeling a little bit old soul this week and this is because I am so inspired by the wardrobe of the movie "Pleasantville". You know the one with Tobey Macguire and Reese Witherspoon where they find themselves in a 1950's sitcom and they are all wearing 50's eras clothes. It is one of my favorite feel good movie.

As we know it fashion is very fast phase industry, one season one style or color is so "HOT" and then next season its "NOT". But no matter how fast phase fashion is, it always find itself repeating few styles from different centuries. Example of that is PRADA S/S2012 with their RETRO chic pastel color theme.

While I can't afford a PRADA for now this ASOS Retro Suede Two Tone Shoes just hit the right spot to satisfy my cravings for RETRO in a budget friendly price. Its black and white contrast gives it that classy RETRO feel that I can definitely see myself wearing paired with my color chinos. A thumb's up indeed!

SAVED in my wish list :-P
