I want a blue nail polish to go with nude and soft pink garments. Problem is all the blue lacquers I have come across so far have glitter in them. Image is from Costume.

I got an umbrella at the market yesterday for a couple of dollars. I liked the colors and when I noticed that it had YSL all over it was even better, it looked so old so I assumed it was authentic. When I got back home and had a closer look at it I noticed that it spelled “Yven Saint Laurent” which probably was a spelling error from the pirate factory. Oh, well, it cost me nothing and I still like it. Today it happens to rain so it was a good chance to test it out.

Whenever I get a mail or a comment with the words “replica handbags” it goes directly into the spam folder. I´ve never ever clicked on one of those links, so to review a site like this feels kind of odd. This shop, Replica Handbag Shop, claims to sell handbags that are 100% identical to the real thing. Whether this is true I can´t tell for sure unless I had a sample, but that´s at least what they say. Not entirely impossible though as I guess some of the fake bags out there are made at the same factory as the real thing. Here you can find bags that will be mistaken for being Chanel, Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, and all those brands that are most commonly copied. Question is, do you really want a fake?

I´ve been shopping some designer items secondhand lately. Some of which turned out to be fake, some of which turned out to be genuine. Even though something may look 99% like the real thing, I feel a much bigger thrill about finding something I know is authentic. At the same time I am not ashamed to wear the fake stuff either. It may have something to do with that I got it secondhand and not in a replica shop for the reason to fool people around me.

Let´s say I was to buy something from this shop. I would probably have gone for something less flashy than the bags with the giant Chanel logos. No one will believe it´s authentic anyway. I´d go for something less obvious, like the crocodile bags, for the reason that they are nice bags. It´s the Fendi Spy Bag, but a lot less people on the street will actually recognize what it is. Then I´d own it for being a nice bag and not for being a copy of something I could never afford.

I am not going to come with any conclusion, if you like the idea, the shop has a variety of products to choose from, all way cheaper than the real thing. If you don´t like the idea, just ignore it, like you would with ordinary spam.
