Your say: How do you feel about friends buying the same accessories you have?

November 11, 2012 Paris B 79 Comments

I think there’s something in the psyche of girls or people in general, to want to belong. And when you hang out with people of similar tastes and dressing, some of it is bound to rub off. Not always a bad thing, I can assure you 🙂

But I wonder how you feel about friends buying the same accessories you have? Not clothes, but accessories e.g. wallets, bags, shoes etc. Do you ever feel like saying “Hang on, that’s my look!”

I found this picture on LVMH and this is pretty much an extreme case, I’d say LOL! Its almost scary how similar they all look eh? But assume something less extreme. Assume that its just the clutch that is the same item. Do you feel awkward about friends buying the same thing you have, even in a different colour? Do you feel honoured that someone would want what you have? Or do you not care either way? Curious minds want to know! 😉

Pretty and charming little trinkets from Agnes B Bijoux

Last week, I introduced you to Agnes B. the newest fashion/accessories brand to open up shop in town. I focused mostly on the bags because that’s their main stay. But I also wanted to show you something that caught my eye more than the bags did <- I know, horrors! 😛

Agnes b. Bijoux Key and Bow necklace – RM400

The Agnes b. Bijoux collection of jewellery accessories. I’ve been on a bit of an accessories kick lately so quite naturally, my eye was drawn to these. The first thing that caught my eye was this adorable key and bow necklace. Studded with swarovski crystals, it is the prettiest thing I’d seen in a while. It has a good weight, and hangs on a chain that isn’t too short nor too long and looks so girly and pretty, I was tempted to just get it. I didn’t, but I might. Who knows 😛

Some fashion items that caught my eye this week

Someone talked to me about fashion recently and I realised that I’m not a very fashionable sort of person. I have quite a safe and conventional dress sense, preferring to stick to tried and true classics. But I also have a quirky bone and sometimes I think it comes through in my dressing.

Like polka dots. I saw this polka dotted cardigan at Coast and I sort of fell in love with it even though it looks like a Dalmatian. It was so adorable! But I couldn’t justify the price tag even with a sale. I did however pick up an even more quirky item.

Your Say: Will you buy a diamond ring for yourself or prefer that someone buy it for you?

the ring

I spotted a gorgeous ring last week while at the jewellers. I don’t make it a habit to walk into jewellery shops because lets face it, jewellery is an expensive hobby to get into! 😛 But while browsing, my eyes fell on a ring that I found myself really liking. It was a diamond ring with a solitaire and was interesting enough that I felt it could pass off as a regular diamond ring and not an engagement ring. However, I also am the sort not to really care even it indeed looked like an engagement ring 🙂

Being a big ticket purchase, naturally I wasn’t ready to drop the money off the bat. I later talked to 3 people about it and was a little surprised when one of them told me that I shouldn’t be buying my own diamond solitaire but should wait for someone to buy it – possibly meaning as an engagement ring. However, if it was a different design then maybe yes, get it. The other 2 I spoke to said “If you love it, get it!”

It got me curious to know if people actually thought this. Would you buy your own diamond ring or will you prefer to wait for someone to buy it for you? For the sake of argument, lets assume that you can afford it yourself 🙂
