Hermes Bracelets in Leather

Well, thanks to my sis' prodding yesterday, I went to Hermes to check out their bracelets. Today I had fun play pretend as a snob who can afford luxury goods at retail prices. My first stop was at Cartier to try the Trinity ring for my size followed by Chanel in Neiman Marcus. As I predicted, nothing called to me in Chanel. It was dismal and off I went to Hermes under the same roof.

I had the sales associate who was super patient bring out 3 leather bracelets for me to try. She was on the phone and the only sales associate in the store and there was a mad crowd in the store! She was fantastic and if I could afford luxury goods at retail prices from Hermes, I would totally purchase from her. Two thumbs up for her customer service!

The leather bracelets I tried on are as follows:

Rush bracelet

Rivale bracelet

I actually also tried on the Kelly Dog bracelet which fit perfectly on my tiny wrist but I can't find proper stock pictures of it like the other two above. Utilize the power of Google if you are curious! Heh.

Of the three that I tried on, I like the Rush and Rivale bracelets. Upon returning home from my adventure, I tried to find other Hermes bracelets and I think I really like the Kelly Double Tour.

Kelly Double Tour bracelet

I think I just found another item to add to my list of classics. What, you ask? Well, none other than the Hermes Kelly Double tour bracelet, my dear. *wink* It will be in orange or oak brown (as pictured in the Rush above) with palladium/silver hardware. Heh.

p/s: I have yet to hear back from my bro (I emailed him pics of the Longines watch and Cartier ring) if the items I picked is breaking his bank. If they are, an Hermes bracelet it is!

Random Inspirations

Apologies for the lack of posts! Have been busy cleaning the new place that I will be moving to. Have been crashing at a kind friend's place for far too long, so its time to move out! Hopefully once I moved into my new pad I might have more pics to post for my outfits as I am currently just living out of my suitcase. Heh.

Anyway, here's a bunch of pics that were of inspiration over the past week or so.

Victoria Beckham and her dresses in classic silhouette can do no wrong! Of course, toting a Hermes Birkin is yet another classic staple in her wardrobe along with those sky high Louboutins.

Emma Watson, the new face of Burberry and the one of the main cast of Harry Potter dresses like her age. It is so refreshing to see a starlet like her dressing up in her age as opposed to trying too hard to look all grown up. She is definitely classy unlike the other Hollywood starlets like Vanessa Hudgens, Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan or Miss Socialiate Paris Hilton, all of which I detest. I apologize if you happen to like either one of them. They are just too trashy in my opinion.

Kate Lanphear, the Style Director for Elle magazine is a definite stand-out. She does not conform to the rest of the folks in the fashion industry by dressing up all girly and trendy. Her style is totally androgynous and rockin' it all out in studs regardless of trend du jour.

I am getting bored with my style and am toying with the idea of chopping my locks to sport a similar hairstyle like hers. I am broke and therefore have no $$$ to shop, hence the next best thing is to don a new hairstyle! I am thinking of waiting till I go home in December for my brother's wedding to chop off my locks but we'll see how long I can withstand the temptation. I usually tend to keep my hair longer in the colder months, by the way so this is totally an impulsive thing.

Okay, enough with my ramblings. Till the next post!
