Beauty Doubles: 50+ Fabulous Drugstore

A dupe for Nars Orgasm blush is NYX blush in Pinched, but the NYX is slightly more pigmented in my opinion.

YSL Rouge Libertine (06) Baby Doll Kiss and Blush Product Info

The texture is creamy and moussey, and the colours are flat—like if you were to put the YSL Crème de Blush in a more fluid form.(Speaking of which, I found out at a recent PR event that they may just be .

So, the hunt for a dupe begins! And let me tell you, the internet rabbit hole is *deep*. I’ve been scouring forums, blogs, and even that weird corner of YouTube where people whisper about makeup. It’s a JOURNEY.

Apparently, the YSL Baby Doll Kiss & Blush line is a tricky one to dupe perfectly. The texture is that weird, creamy-moussey thing that’s kinda hard to replicate. Some people say it’s like the YSL Creme de Blush, but…more fluid? I don’t know, I haven’t tried *that* one. My makeup budget only stretches so far!

I saw someone mention the NYX blush in Pinched being a dupe for NARS Orgasm, and while I love NYX (hello, drugstore queen!), I’m not sure how that helps us with the Nude Insolent situation. It’s a starting point, I guess? Maybe it has a similar shimmer or undertone? I’m grasping at straws here, people.

And then there’s the whole “finding the right color” thing. Nude Insolent is supposed to be a kinda natural, almost peachy-nude. But “nude” means different things on different skin tones, right? Like, my nude is probably your “light tan” and her nude is probably someone else’s “deep bronze.” Makeup is HARD.

I even stumbled upon some chatter about YSL Pink Hedoniste (08), but that’s pink! We’re looking for nude, people, *nude*! Get it together, internet! (Okay, okay, I’m sure Pink Hedoniste is lovely, but that’s not the point right now.)

Honestly, I haven’t found the *perfect* dupe yet. But I’m thinking the key is to look for something with that creamy texture (maybe a cream blush stick?), and a slightly peachy-nude shade. Maybe mix a couple of cheaper blushes together? That’s what I usually end up doing anyway.

I saw someone mention that YSL *might* be coming out with a more fluid version of their Creme de Blush, so… maybe wait for that? Or just bite the bullet and buy the Nude Insolent. Ugh. Decisions, decisions.

PRADA dupe

And honestly, who can blame ’em? I mean, Prada’s got that certain… *thing*. That effortless chic that just screams “I’m rich, but I don’t *try* to look rich.” Which is, like, the ultimate rich person flex, right?

So, where do you even *start* on this dupe journey? Well, the interwebs are your friend. That’s where I found most of this stuff, obviously. I was scrollin’ and saw some lady ranting about how Zara Gardenia is a dead-ringer for YSL Black Opium (okay, not Prada, but fragrance dupes are a *thing*, too, ya know?). It kinda got me thinkin’ about the whole dupe situation in general.

Apparently, Zara is a major player in the dupe game. They’re always sniffin’ out what the big-name designers are doin’ and then, boom, churning out something suspiciously similar. Bless ’em, honestly. For the rest of us.

But back to Prada. You can find bag dupes *everywhere*. I saw something about DHGate having a bunch for 2025, which is, like, super forward-thinking, right? I mean, planning your dupe game *that* far in advance? Mad respect. I’m still trying to figure out what I’m gonna eat for dinner.

And then there’s the whole “high street” thing. Apparently, there are *incredible* alternatives just chillin’ at your local… well, wherever you shop. I’m picturing like, H&M? Maybe? I dunno, I haven’t been to a physical store in ages. But the point is, they’re out there.

Okay, so, here’s my take. A good dupe isn’t about trying to trick people into thinking you’re rollin’ in dough. It’s about finding something you *love* that captures the essence of what makes Prada (or YSL, or whatever) so appealing. It’s about the *vibe*. And honestly, if you can snag that vibe for a fraction of the price, more power to ya.

Plus, let’s be real, some of these dupes are probably made in the same factories as the real deal, anyway. Just sayin’. I mean, I read that somewhere once. So, like, technically, you’re still kinda getting Prada, right? Kinda? Maybe?

EU Stock CHLOE Hat

Anyway, EU Stock Chloe Hats… that’s what we’re talking about. And honestly? I’m getting slightly confused just looking at all these search results. Mytheresa’s slinging bucket hats and capelines, eBay’s going full-on “wide range” (which, okay, fair enough, eBay does eBay things), and then YOOX is just yelling “HATS BY CHLOÉ!” at me. It’s a LOT.

Then there’s the “Official Website” (or *Offizielle Website* because, you know, Europe!) promising stylish, classic, daring, elegant *and* stylish hats. Double stylish? Is that even a thing? Sounds a bit redundant, doesn’t it? And saying it’s “on its way to become a new bestseller on the hat market for ladies”? Like, is it a bestseller *now* or not? Be clear, Chloe! My brain can only handle so much these days!

Lyst.com boasts 59 items on sale from £36. Now *that* sounds like a deal, even if I’m not entirely sure what “Lyst.com” even *is* (I’m gonna Google that later, maybe). But free shipping and returns? Okay, Chloe, you’re talking my language.

So, EU Stock… I guess that means if you’re in Europe, you’re probably getting the best deals and quickest shipping on these Chloe hats? Makes sense. But honestly, trying to figure out the *specific* EU stock situation is giving me a headache. Too many websites, too many promises of “exclusive offers,” and probably too much fine print that I’m too lazy to actually read.

Tax-Free DIOR Scarf

So, I stumbled across all this info… and it’s a bit of a rabbit hole, tbh. The RealReal apparently authenticates Dior scarves, which is good to know ’cause, y’know, knock-offs are everywhere. And Lyst.com has them too, starting at like, $192. Which… isn’t exactly cheap, but hey, it’s Dior!

But the real kicker? The VAT refund thing! Apparently, if you buy a Dior bag (or I’m assuming, a scarf??) in certain places, you can get, like, a 12% refund. That’s basically free money! Well, not *free* free, ’cause you still had to buy the scarf (duh), but it’s a discount, and who doesn’t love a discount?

Now, where you get this VAT refund exactly, I’m not entirely sure. The one article mentions Hawaii pricing (Jan 2022, kinda old, but still…), but then another talks about a Dior bag refund when leaving the country. So, maybe it’s a travel thing? Like, if you buy it abroad? Or maybe it’s just some crazy Hawaii tax loophole. Honestly, I’m confuzzled.

And then there’s the scarves themselves. Silk, wool, Diorissimo, hibiscus, butterflies… They got everything! I saw a mention of “twilly scarves,” which, honestly, I had to Google. Apparently, they’re skinny little scarves you can tie on your bag or wear as a bracelet? Cute!

Honestly, this whole thing is giving me major wanderlust. I wanna go to a place where I can buy a Dior scarf *and* get a tax refund. Maybe Paris? Or Milan? I dunno. Somewhere fancy, definitely.

discounted designer-look handbags

That’s where the whole “discounted designer-look” thing comes in. Now, listen, I’m not talking about those… *ahem*… “replicas” you find on the internet that look like they were stitched together by a team of squirrels. We’re talking about legit *sales* and places where you can actually snag a real, honest-to-goodness designer bag without selling a kidney.

I mean, Saks OFF 5TH seems to be shouting it from the rooftops, right? “Discount designer clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry… Save up to 70% off top brands!” Like, helloooooo, Christmas came early! Plus, they’re throwing in free shipping for orders over $49? Seriously, that’s basically a steal. I’m all about that!

And it’s not just Saks, either. Apparently, there are a bunch of other online stores out there (12 according to… someone? I don’t even know, I just saw it mentioned somewhere). They’re selling designer handbags at a discount. I mean, who knew? I thought you had to be a millionaire to rock a real designer bag.

Now, listen up, because here’s where it gets a little messy. You gotta be CAREFUL. “Discounted designer” doesn’t always mean you’re getting a brand new, straight-off-the-runway bag. It could be last season’s style (which, honestly, who even notices anymore? Fashion moves so fast!), or maybe it’s a “sample sale” item with a tiny little imperfection. But honestly, if you can save hundreds of dollars for, like, a slightly wonky stitch, I say GO FOR IT.

I mean, you also have to consider “Bag Accessories”. Like, are they included in the deal? Maybe you can get a cool charm or something to really jazz up your steal of a bag. That’s what I’m talking about!!

But seriously, don’t be a dummy. Do your research! Read the descriptions CAREFULLY. Check the return policy. And for the love of all that is holy, make sure the site is legit before you hand over your credit card details. There are shady peeps out there trying to sell you fake designer goods. Don’t fall for it!

order designer-inspired shoes uk

First off, let’s be real. Designer shoes are, like, crazy expensive. Who *actually* has that kind of money just lying around? (Except maybe those influencer types, but who wants to be *them*? No offence if you are one, lol). So, finding something that *looks* the part, without, y’know, selling your kidney, is the name of the game.

I’ve seen a few different approaches. You’ve got the “outlet” route. Places like THE OUTNET are shouting about designer shoes at discount prices. Sounds good in theory, right? But honestly? Sometimes it feels like the “discount” is just a marketing ploy. They might have *some* genuinely good deals, but you gotta really hunt through the piles of stuff nobody else wanted last season (or, like, five seasons ago, lol). And even then, it might still be a bit pricey.

Then there’s the whole… *ahem*… “dupe” scene. I saw something about Amazon dupes in one of those snippets you gave me. Amazon can be a treasure trove, or a total disaster. It’s like rummaging through your grandma’s attic – you might find a gem, but you’ll probably find a lot of dust and things you wish you hadn’t seen. You gotta be *really* careful with quality there. Read the reviews! Like, *really* read them. And be prepared for the possibility that what arrives looking amazing in the picture will look decidedly… *less* amazing in real life. Trust me, I’ve been burned before. Once ordered “leather” boots that felt suspiciously like, well, plastic. Not my finest moment.

Daniel Footwear is another one that pops up. They seem to carry actual designer brands (Gucci, even!), but maybe at better prices? I’d definitely check them out. Plus, FREE Click & Collect and Returns? That’s always a win in my book.

Oh, and don’t forget the high street! Places like Zara, Mango, even H&M, *constantly* churn out stuff that’s “inspired by” (let’s be honest, straight-up copies) of designer trends. The quality might not be heirloom-worthy, but if you just want something for a season or two, it’s a solid option.

Mytheresa is probably a good place to find the real deal, but unless you won the lottery recently, maybe stick to window shopping there (unless you’re seriously treating yourself, you deserve it!).

Designer Dupes GUCCI Wallet

So, here’s the deal. We’ve all seen ‘em. The *Gucci-inspired*… let’s call ’em “alternatives.” Okay, dupes. Fine, I said it! Designer dupes are everywhere, and the Gucci wallet is a prime target. And honestly? I’m kinda on the fence about the whole thing.

On one hand, I *get* the appeal. Why drop a paycheck on a wallet when you can get something that *looks* pretty darn similar for way less? I mean, a cute wallet is a cute wallet, right? Who’s gonna know, really? And let’s face it, some of these dupes are surprisingly good. I saw one the other day that was… well, let’s just say it had me doing a double-take. I was legit thinking, “Is that the real deal?”

But then, there’s the other side of the coin. Like, is it *really* the same? Sure, it might look the part. But what about the quality? Will it fall apart after a month of shoving it in your purse? Probably. And, not gonna lie, there’s a small part of me that feels kinda… icky about buying something that’s basically trying to be something it isn’t. It’s like pretending to be someone you’re not. Which is a bit sad, I guess.

I’ve seen like, online stores selling “designer inspired” wallets. And yeah, some are okay. Some are like, straight up awful. The stitching is off, the “leather” feels like plastic, and the logo looks like it was printed on by a toddler. You get what you pay for, I guess.

And then there’s the whole ethical thing, you know? Like, are these dupes made in sweatshops? Are they ripping off the original designers? It kinda makes you think. My personal opinion is that, if you can save up for the real thing, go for it. You’ll probably appreciate it more, and it’ll probably last longer. But if you’re on a budget, and you just want something cute to hold your cards, then… well, who am I to judge?

Secure Payment YSL Clothes

First off, I saw this thing about Truworths…like, what does that even have to *do* with YSL? They mention MasterCard and Visa, transfer payments… and all that jazz. Okay, cool, standard stuff, right? But then they throw in this “ensure smooth payment, please fill in your real information” bit. I mean, duh! Who’s out there putting in fake names and addresses on purpose?! Unless they’re planning something shady, which, hey, maybe some people are. But seriously, it’s kinda insulting, isn’t it?

And then, I saw this blurb about someone having two bank accounts already registered and *still* having problems buying from YSL.com. Like, what the heck is *that* about? You’d think that having multiple confirmed accounts would make it *easier*, not harder! It makes you wonder what kind of back-end spaghetti code they’re running over there. I mean, come on YSL, get it together.

Speaking of authenticity, I ran across something about Macy’s, and some authentication service for YSL stuff. Okay, *that* makes sense. I mean, there are SO many fakes out there these days, you gotta be extra careful. I personally would probably get something authenticated just to be 100% sure I wasn’t getting ripped off. It’s worth the peace of mind, honestly. Especially considering how much YSL clothes can cost!

And then there’s this random confirmation about “M7 Oud Absolu Eau De Toilette.” Okay, so someone bought some cologne. Cool. But what’s *that* doing in the middle of a discussion about buying YSL clothes? It feels like someone just threw random scraps of information into a blender. See what I mean about the messy logic?

Vintage Style Dolce & Gabbana

Dolce & Gabbana: Digging Through the Vintage Treasure Chest (or is it just a messy drawer?)

So, Dolce & Gabbana. Big name, right? But lately, I’ve been seeing a *lot* of talk ’bout their *vintage* stuff. Like, is it actually vintage? Or are we just callin’ anything from the early 2000s “vintage” now? Makes me feel *old*.

First off, I keep stumbling across this “La Dolce Vintage” thing on Instagram. Seems like a secondhand and made-to-order kinda deal, tryin’ to capture that D&G feel. Colorful, comfy, confident… that’s the vibe they’re goin’ for, apparently. Sounds cute, but is it *actually* Dolce & Gabbana? Prob’ly not, but it’s ridin’ the wave, y’know? Clever, I guess.

Then there’s the actual, like, *real* vintage D&G. People are sellin’ dresses on eBay and whatnot. I saw one – a black knee-length sheath dress, described as “Sicilian Style.” Sounds fancy. Is it worth $375? *shrugs* Depends how much you like knee-length black dresses, I suppose. And if you trust the seller. Gotta be careful out there, ya know? Authenticity is key!

And then I saw somethin’ about Pashanim rockin’ a “Vintage-Jeans mit Waschung” (that’s German, for washed vintage jeans) from Dolce & Gabbana. Apparently, it’s got some embroidery on the back. I’m guessing it’s *supposed* to look worn and cool, like he just pulled it outta his grandpa’s closet. But, like, is that *really* vintage? Or just “vintage-inspired”? Big difference, IMO.

The whole thing is a bit of a confusing hodgepodge, honestly. You’ve got actual vintage pieces floating around, you’ve got brands *inspired* by vintage D&G, and then you’ve got… well, I guess just people tryin’ to capitalize on the whole “vintage” trend.

Brandless BOTTEGA VENETA Hat

Okay, so I’ve been kinda obsessed lately (don’t judge) with finding the *perfect* hat. And Bottega Veneta keeps popping up. I mean, seriously, just LOOK at what they’re doing. Leather bucket hats? In AUBERGINE? Who even *thinks* of that?! But somehow, it WORKS. It *really* works.

I saw one, online, this Intrecciato leather bucket hat in dark green. Like, seriously drooling here. It screams “I have my life together, but also, I’m kinda edgy.” Y’know? The kind of vibe I’m *trying* to cultivate.

But then comes the cold, hard reality – Bottega Veneta prices, amirite? Ouch. My bank account just whimpered. I started down a whole rabbithole about them collecting my data when I even *think* about buying something, which is a bit *eerie*, ya know? Like, I just wanna buy a cool hat, not sell my soul.

Okay, but back to the hats. I saw another one in Navy, a tech nylon bucket hat. For men, apparently? I mean, whatever. I’d rock that. It seems like they’ve got a few different things going on. One minute it’s like “super fancy leather,” the next it’s “techy and practical.” Like, make up your mind, Bottega! (Just kidding… kinda).

Honestly, I’m kinda torn. They’re beautiful, don’t get me wrong. But is a hat *really* worth, like, half a month’s rent? Plus, all that personal data stuff? Ugh, decisions, decisions. Maybe I can find a *really* good knockoff… shhh! Don’t tell Bottega!

And don’t even *get* me started on the whole “made in Italy” thing. I mean, of course, it’s made in Italy, it’s Bottega Veneta. But like, what does that *really* mean? Does it actually make the hat better? Or am I just paying for the label? It’s a complex question, you know? It just makes you think…

good quality replica watches online

First things first, you gotta understand what you’re getting into. We ain’t talking authorized dealers here. We’re talking replicas, fakes, homages… whatever you wanna call ’em. And the quality? Hoo boy, that’s where it gets messy. Some of these “AAA” replicas (whatever *that* even means anymore) claim to be almost indistinguishable from the real deal. They even slap “Swiss Made” on ’em. Yeah, right. Just, be skeptical, okay?

You’ll see sites bragging about “high-quality stainless steel” and “durable construction.” And honestly, some probably *are* decent. But then you get into the real cheapies, the ones where the “gold” plating rubs off in a week and the second hand ticks like a frantic hummingbird. Those are the ones to avoid like the plague.

I’ve seen some claiming “limited edition models” too. Oh, bless their hearts. A limited edition *replica*? That’s like saying you have a limited edition copy of a Picasso print you bought at a flea market. It’s just… no.

The price is a big giveaway, obviously. If they’re selling a “Daytona” for a couple hundred bucks, you know it’s gonna be more “meh” than “magnificent.” Apparently in India you can find them in that price range, but the quality is not AAA, so, not sure if that’s even worth it. They’ll probably fall apart faster than my last attempt at baking a cake. You probably gonna have to pay a bit more for those high-quality replicas. But is it worth it? Depends on what you’re looking for, I guess.

The biggest tip I can give you? Do your research. Seriously, surf the web. Look for reviews, even if they’re a little biased. Try to sniff out the legit sites from the fly-by-night operations. Read forums (if you can find any that aren’t overrun with spam). See what other people are saying. People saying online is the only way to find good replicas, and that might be true, but it also means the world is your oyster, and you need to be careful!

Brandless GIVENCHY Wallet

First off, eBay’s got a ton of ’em. They’re like, “Get the BEST deals!” and “Free shipping!” which is always tempting, let’s be real. You know, the siren song of slightly-too-good-to-be-true deals. I’m a sucker for that. But then you gotta wonder, are these the real deal? Legit Givenchy? Or are they, you know, *inspired*? I’ve definitely fallen into that trap before – bought something online thinking it was gonna be amazing, and then it shows up and you’re like, “Oh… this is… polyurethane.”

Then you’ve got Saks, which is, like, the opposite end of the spectrum. All fancy-pants and “free shipping and returns” (which is great, admittedly). They’re pushing the “new arrivals from top brands” angle. I mean, Givenchy is definitely a top brand, no argument there. But I swear, every time I look at designer wallets, I’m just thinking about all the takeout I could buy with that money. Priorities, ya know?

And then… “Brands For Less” mentioning Givenchy at Saks? Wait, what? Is that even a thing? It’s all a bit confusing, tbh. I feel like I’m getting lost in a maze of marketing speak.

Oh! And Saks OFF 5TH has the handbags & wallets for women – up to 70% off! Okay, now we’re talking. Maybe I *should* get a Givenchy wallet. But then again, 70% off kinda makes me think… what was the *original* price? And why is it so heavily discounted? Is it, like, last season’s hotness that’s now deeply uncool?

Honestly, I’m still trying to figure out this “brandless Givenchy wallet” thing. Maybe it’s just a search term that’s pulling in a bunch of different results. Or maybe it’s some weird eBay hack to get more eyeballs on their listings. Or maybe… it’s a sign that I need to stop spending so much time online shopping. Yeah, probably that last one.

Factory Direct VALENTINO

Factory Direct VALENTINO: Is This Even a Thing? (And Why Am I Confused?)

Okay, lemme be real. I saw “Factory Direct VALENTINO” and my brain kinda short-circuited. Like, plumbing supplies next to Valentino Garavani shoes? What in the actual heck? Clearly, the internet is having a moment. A weird, very confused moment.

So, logically (and I use that term loosely, because clearly logic jumped ship a long time ago), we gotta unpack this. We’ve got:

* Factory Direct STUFF: Plumbing, park model homes, mobile homes, and… *craft supplies*? Okay, that last one’s almost believable. Like, maybe someone’s DIY-ing a Valentino-inspired something-or-other. IDK. My creativity is currently maxed out trying to make sense of this.

* Valentino Garavani: The actual, you know, *designer* Valentino. Shoes from the 70s (which, tbh, I’m kinda digging), designer accessories, the whole shebang. And some Italian company address stuff. Milan, Italy, sounds legit.

* “Factory Direct(ファクトリーダイレクト)の評価”: Okay, this threw me for a loop. Japanese? My Japanese is, uh, nonexistent. So, yeah, I’m gonna file that under “mystery box” for now.

So, what’s the deal? Is there some secret, underground Valentino outlet store hiding next to a plumbing supply warehouse? Probably not. Although, wouldn’t *that* be a story? Imagine snagging a pair of Rockstuds while picking up a new faucet. Talk about high-low fashion!

Honestly, I think this is just a case of the internet being the internet. Keywords colliding, algorithms going haywire, and suddenly we’re all wondering if we can buy a couture gown alongside our new septic tank.

Now, here’s my (completely unsubstantiated) theory: Maybe some craft supply place is calling itself “Factory Direct” AND they’re selling Valentino-*esque* embellishments. Like, maybe they’ve got studs and ribbon that *kinda* look like Valentino but are, like, a million times cheaper. Boom. Conspiracy solved! (Probably not, but let me have my moment.)

Look, at the end of the day, “Factory Direct VALENTINO” is probably a search engine anomaly. But hey, it’s a fun thought experiment. And it definitely made me wanna online shop for some Valentino shoes. Maybe after I fix my leaky sink. Priorities, people, priorities.

breguet subscription watch replica

First off, let’s just acknowledge the elephant in the room: We’re talking about *fake* watches. Now, I’m not here to judge. People got budgets, ya know? And Breguet ain’t exactly giving their watches away. They’re basically the Rolls Royce of timepieces… except, you know, for your wrist. But, like, buying a fake, is it really worth it? That’s a whole philosophical debate for another day, maybe over a couple of beers. (My personal opinion? It’s your money, do what you want, but don’t try to pass it off as the real deal.)

Anyway, the *real* Breguet subscription watches… those are, like, historical artifacts. We’re talking about watches from the late 1700s! Abraham-Louis Breguet, the man himself, was making these things. He sold them on a subscription basis – clever guy, getting that upfront cash. These watches, often called perpetuelle pocket watches (because they self-wind, which was *huge* back then), were kinda revolutionary. They were simple, elegant, and showed off Breguet’s genius.

So, naturally, people are gonna wanna replicate them. And that’s where the “Breguet subscription watch replica” comes in. You can find ’em all over the place, from eBay (where, according to one snippet, someone’s considering buying one) to dedicated “replica watch” websites. The quality? Well, that’s a gamble. Some are probably atrocious, like something you’d find in a back alley for five bucks. Others… maybe they’re decent enough to fool someone at a distance. (Just don’t let them get too close, ya know? The devil’s in the details, and those details are where the replicas *always* fail.)

And honestly, the idea of a Breguet Tradition replica is kinda funny when you think about it. The Tradition *itself* is inspired by Breguet’s subscription watches! So, it’s like a replica of a modern watch that’s paying homage to an old watch. Talk about layers! It’s kinda like inception, but with timepieces. My brain hurts just thinking about it.

Now, I saw one thing about “Breguet Japanese Replicas.” I don’t know much about those specifically, but I do know that generally, when you hear “Japanese replica,” you *usually* mean a step up in quality from some of the other, uh, less reputable sources. But still, a replica is a replica.

Vintage Style CELINE Jewelry

I’ve been seeing so much Celine popping up lately, especially pre-owned stuff. And I gotta say, some of it is just *chef’s kiss*. Like, those chunky chain bracelets? Ugh, so good. They just scream power dressing, but in a cool, effortless kinda way. You can throw one on with, like, a simple white tee and jeans, and suddenly you look like you walked outta a magazine. Magic, I tell ya!

Then there’s the pearl necklaces. Pearls can be tricky, I think. Sometimes they look a little… old-ladyish? But Celine’s pearl necklaces? They manage to be classic *and* edgy, somehow. Maybe it’s the way they pair them with gold, or the slightly offbeat designs. Whatever it is, it works. Like, a pearl necklace with a chunky gold chain… yessss!

And don’t even get me STARTED on the statement pendants. Remember Phoebe Philo’s Celine? Omg, iconic. Her necklaces were just… *art*. Big, bold, sometimes a little weird, but always, always chic. Finding one of those bad boys second-hand is like striking gold. Seriously, it’s like finding your holy grail of fashion.

I saw something the other day, it was a pair of Gold Chunky Pearl Earrings, and honestly I think the vintage style is the way to go. They’re not trying too hard, you know?

The thing is, vintage Celine jewelry isn’t just about wearing a label. It’s about wearing something with a story. These pieces have been around, they’ve seen things, they’ve been loved and worn. That gives them a certain… vibe. A certain *je ne sais quoi*.

Secure Payment PRADA Shoe

So, I’ve been doing some diggin’ (you know, for *research* purposes… totally not because I’m eyeing up a pair myself…). And it’s a minefield out there! You see these ads, right? “Prada on the cheap!” “Authentic, guaranteed!” Yeah, riiiight. Maybe, maybe not. That’s why you gotta be smart.

First off, I saw this thing about “Pay by Link” with Adyen. Basically, Prada (or a legit seller) can send you a link for payment, and Adyen hosts the secure payment page. Sounds pretty safe, right? Like, way safer than wiring money to some random dude in… well, you know. But even *then*, keep your wits about you. Always double-check the website the link takes you to. Make sure it *looks* legit. Small details matter, y’know? Typos, weird formatting… red flags galore!

Then, there’s Farfetch. I’ve heard good things. They claim to sell real Prada, and fast delivery is always a plus. But, like everything, read the reviews! See what other people are saying. Don’t just blindly trust the pretty pictures.

And oh man, wholesale shoes? That’s a risky one. “100% secure payment”? Suuure. They ALL say that. I’d be *super* cautious there. Like, bordering on paranoid. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably *is*. Remember my grandma saying that or not?

I also stumbled across ShoesRepublic… Italian craftsmanship, they say. Hmmm, tempting. But, again, do your homework! Google them, check their reputation, see if they have a real address (and not just a PO box in the middle of nowhere!).

The thing that *really* got me thinking was about selling Prada shoes. They were talking about making sure you sell through a “reputable platform”. Which, duh. But it highlights the point: if *you* need to be careful selling, imagine how careful you need to be buying!

Look, honestly? Buying Prada shoes online is like navigating a jungle. You gotta be alert, trust your gut, and do your research. Don’t just click the first link you see. And for God’s sake, if the price seems ridiculously low, RUN.

Hidden Brand HERMES

First off, you see ’em EVERYWHERE. Well, not *literally* everywhere, unless you’re hanging out on Rodeo Drive or something. But the *idea* of Hermès is everywhere. From those suspiciously cheap-looking “silk” scarves on eBay to TikToks of people unboxing Birkins (and me simultaneously drooling and judging), they’re inescapable.

And the thing is, they’re, like, obsessed with handcrafting stuff. Okay, cool. Traditional stuff, yadda yadda. But honestly, sometimes I wonder if they’re just milking that whole “heritage” thing for all it’s worth. Like, yeah, okay, beautiful leather, years of experience… but is a handbag *really* worth more than my freakin’ car? I dunno, man. I have issues.

Then there’s the whole AliExpress thing. You know, those “hidden links” people are always whispering about? The ones promising you a Birkin for the price of a used microwave? Yeah, that’s… risky. Let’s be real, you’re probably getting a fake. A really, really bad fake. But hey, if you’re into that kinda thing, go for it. Just don’t come crying to me when your “Hermès” bag starts peeling after a week. I’ve seen some horror stories, believe me.

And the Milan Design Week 2025 mention? Like, what does that even *mean*? They’re branching out into… furniture? Okay, I guess. I can picture it now: a ridiculously priced leather couch that I’d be too afraid to actually *sit* on.

Honestly, sometimes I think Hermès is just playing us all. They create this aura of exclusivity and luxury, and we all fall for it. Maybe it’s the orange boxes? Maybe it’s the stories about waiting lists that are longer than my lifespan? Whatever it is, it’s working.

But, y’know, despite my cynicism, there’s a part of me that gets it. The craftsmanship *is* impressive. The designs are classic (if sometimes a little boring). And there’s something undeniably appealing about owning a piece of something that’s been around for, like, ever.

Luxury Lookalike MIU MIU Jewelry

Listen, I’m not gonna lie, I’ve totally been down that rabbit hole. Scrolling through pages and pages of, uh, “inspired” pieces. And honestly? Some of them are *scarily* good. Like, you’d need to be a legit jewelry appraiser to tell the difference from across a crowded (and dimly lit, let’s be honest) cocktail party.

The Miu Miu vibe is so specific, though. It’s not just bling, it’s like, *intentional* bling. Kinda like they raided your grandma’s jewelry box but then, like, added a subversive twist. Think oversized pearls, maybe some chunky crystals, and always, *always* a touch of irony. I mean, even the descriptions in those little snippets above hint at it: “pieces with extraordinary design” and “chokers and bracelets that complement the clothes of the label”. See? *Extraordinary*. It’s not just pretty, it’s a *statement*.

So, what’s the deal with the lookalikes? Well, they try to capture that “extraordinary design” without, you know, emptying your bank account. You can get that same vibe – the playful, slightly off-kilter elegance – for a fraction of the price. The catch? Okay, there are a few.

First, quality. Obviously. You’re not getting the same materials. Don’t expect real pearls or diamonds. You’re probably looking at glass and cubic zirconia. Which is fine, totally fine! Just, ya know, *manage your expectations*. I’ve seen some that tarnish super fast, some that feel kinda flimsy, and some that actually look… pretty darn good. It’s a gamble, a jewelry lottery, if you will.

Then there’s the whole “ethical” thing. I mean, is it stealing? Kind of. Is it supporting fast fashion and potentially questionable labor practices? Probably. That’s a whole can of worms I don’t even want to fully unpack right now, but it’s something to consider.

Custom Made HERMES Shoe

Forget popping into Foot Locker for a new pair of Nikes. We’re talking levels of bougie that would make your grandma blush. We ain’t talking just “Nike By You” level custom, where you pick some colours and maybe slap your initials on ’em. We’re talking, apparently, *Hermes* custom.

See, Hermes has this whole “Special Order” thing. I mean, duh, everything they do is special order, right? But this is *special* special order. Think handbags that cost more than a down payment on a house. Then, apparently, translate that to footwear.

Now, I’m not gonna lie, I’m a bit confused. The articles kinda jump around. One minute it’s talking about “bespoke footwear” being a “complicated arena,” which, yeah, I bet it is. Like, figuring out the exact shade of orange you want on your hand-stitched calfskin loafers while sipping champagne? Complicated. Hard life, am I right?

Then there’s Pierre Hardy, who apparently designs the Hermes men’s shoe collection. I’m picturing him sketching furiously in a Parisian cafe, fueled by espresso and existential dread. Are these the shoes you can *then* customize? Or are they completely separate things? It’s all a bit…fuzzy. I reckon I’d have to sell my kidney to even get near the *thought* of custom Hermes.

But what REALLY gets me thinking is the other article about the “13 Best Shoemakers & Brands in the…” and then the sentence just ends! Like, what?! Where is it leading? Oh, and then it’s in Portuguese! I’m guessing they’re talking about custom shoemakers who can design “the shoes you’ve always dreamed of.” Makes sense, I think. Maybe. Probably not, actually.

It sounds a bit like Nike By You. But like, a million times more expensive. And probably a million times more exclusive.

Honestly, it’s all a bit of a fever dream of luxury. I’m picturing some oil baron commissioning a pair of alligator skin slippers lined with mink and monogrammed with his yacht’s name. I mean, why *not*, right?

Look, I’m not gonna pretend to be an expert on this. I’m just a person with a keyboard and a mild obsession with luxury goods I can’t afford. But the idea of custom Hermes shoes? It’s just…something else. Even if they come with a healthy dose of confusion.

Vintage Style Dolce & Gabbana Wallet

So, I’ve been digging around online (as one does when procrastinating on actual work) and keep stumbling on snippets about vintage D&G stuff. Like, one minute I’m looking at “Vintage Flatware Sets – Vintage Style 2025” (wait, 2025 *is* the future, right? Or is it supposed to be mimicking something *from* the future? Confusing!), and the next, I’m knee-deep in Instagram accounts like “@ladolcevintage,” showcasing all sorts of secondhand goodies. Which, BTW, following them is a *must* if you’re into that whole “sustainable fashion” thing. Plus, they actually have some pretty dope pieces.

But back to the wallets. I haven’t exactly *seen* a dedicated “Vintage Style Dolce & Gabbana Wallet” listing that’s blown me away, but I’m getting hints. Like, there’s mention of “Dolce & Gabbana Belts for Men,” which, okay, belts, whatever. BUT it’s the association with “La Dolce Vintage” (the brand, not just the Insta account) that gets me thinking. They’re all about made-to-order and secondhand, suggesting that finding a *genuine* vintage wallet is totally plausible.

And then, *bam*, random mention of “Pashanim Jeans Dolce Gabbana” and some Berlin dude rocking “a locker geschnittene Vintage-Jeans mit Waschung.” See? The vintage vibe is everywhere! It’s, like, seeping into the very fabric of the internet. You see a bit of it here, a bit of it there.

Okay, so, my personal opinion? A vintage D&G wallet would be the ultimate flex. Forget your fancy new designer stuff. Give me something with character, something that’s seen things. I’m picturing, like, a small, maybe slightly worn leather wallet, probably in black (because, duh), with that classic D&G hardware. Maybe even a little worn down so it’s like, authentic looking.

The thing is, finding one that’s legit might be a pain in the butt. You gotta watch out for fakes, and honestly, navigating the world of vintage resellers can feel like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. But the hunt? That’s half the fun!
