Studying :(

Don't be surprised with the lack of our updates in the next 10 days. Our finals for university are coming up and it has been taking over our life!! Countdown till it's over!!

April 27th!!

Chanel Copies?

Should we say "Chanel Copies" or "Inspired by Chanel"

Clearly we have all seen the heat of Chanel bags. The big waiting lists at the retail Chanel locations, and the ever coming trend of Hollywood stars wearing a Chanel bag.

However, I don't know how I feel about the Chanel "lookalikes". Even though these aren't copies (since they do not try to dupilicate the Chanel logo or they would be thrown into jail) they completley take the idea off the original pieces.

What are your thoughts?

Getting this Blog Going!

To be honest, we are finding it a huge obstacle to get this blog going! Wish we could promote other blogs and other blogs could do this for us.

If you are a blog writer or a website owner, get in touch with us and we'll try to promote each other!

Banana Republic- Enough for Prom?


Since many of us like to splurge on the dress, the shoes and the getting ready portion of the prom, a place to cut down our expenses is accessories.

Ideally it would be great to just pick something out of our jewellery box that goes with our dress.

If not, there are large number of cheap finds, that address this year's trend of layering necklaces.

Check out the following Banana Republic Necklace:

Price: ~$34

Our thoughts:

If you dress is already very active and busy, go for something simple like this necklace. This will draw away attention from your neckline and instead put the attention on your face and your dress.

Just imagine, this night happens once in your lifetime. Do you really want to stand out or not?

Your thoughts?

Leah Alexandra Necklace


Designer: Leah Alexandra

Piece: "Double Row Champagne Pearl Necklace with Silver Links"

Comments:

Kara & Zu: It is a simple more delicate piece, but are we wild about the silver links? Do you prefer silver links vs. brass? Tells us now!

Countdown to Prom? Anyone?

Foxy it Up! Low Prices yet Trendy Pieces



Not all of us enjoy spending our hard earned cash on such expensive jewellery. Specially when you want to have more than one piece to play with. Foxy Originals, offer just the right mix for those who want a low price tag, but a fun mix of accessories.



I personally enjoy how they categorize the
ir themed jewellery and I just put a simple piece they have on their site that will give you an idea of the price and the type of jewellery they carry.

Sick of Heart Shaped Necklaces Anyone????



Ready to move on?- check it out on the Juicy Couture Site!

Juicy Enough?

Price: $148
Use: Daily
Worth it?
Kara & Zu:

Zu: I like how it is busy, but am not a fan of the number of daisies on the front. It makes it almost too busy and hard to dress up with. For me it's a 3.5/5.


Juicy Enough? Juicy Couture Floral Torsade Necklace (Spring 2010)


Vintage? DANNIJO does it right!

Price: $370
Use: Casual/Dress up
Worth it?

Kara & Zu:

Zu: This is more of a unique piece. I could dress it down with simple jeans and a v-neck or decide to wear it with a black dress. I give it a 4.5/5.

Busy yet Chique
