Luxurious Living

I've been to Korea and I read this article and it just shocks me! So that's why that Nine West bag I bought for my mom was expensive. :))))))

Addiction to Luxury Goods is a Disease

The Korean market for luxury goods is worth more than W5 trillion, and luxury labels carry the highest price tags in the world in Korea (US$1=W1,134). Even though 8-15 percent tariffs on products made in the European Union were slashed due to the Korea-EU free trade agreement, a luxury handbag that costs W3 million in the EU costs more than W5 million here.

There are plenty of stories about the exorbitant spending habits of people hooked on luxury goods. Last year, a 26-year-old woman was arrested on charges of counterfeiting after she used a color photocopier to make fake banknotes so she could repay around W60 million worth of debt she took on to buy W100 million worth of luxury handbags and cosmetics. Another woman in her 20s embezzled W1.6 billion from her employer to buy luxury goods and was arrested. The bags she bought with the money cost more than W10 million each.

The Chanel store in one department store in Seoul sold W460 million worth of products on its opening day last year, setting a new record among Chanel stores worldwide. For some time women have considered buying Chanel products as investments. In 2008, a classic Caviar bag by Chanel cost W2.7 million, but the price rose to W5.8 million last year. They can still make a profit by buying a luxury bag and then selling it second-hand.

Chanel has decided to raise the prices of its products sold in Korea by more than 10 percent next month. The price of the Vintage 2.55 large bag will rise from W6.63 million to W7.4 million, around W1.91 million more than in Paris. The price of the bag has more than doubled since 2008. But people still line up to buy them, saying that they are essential elements of a dowry. As long as this continues, Korean consumers will remain easy targets for luxury labels.

Luxury goods have become practically essential items to keep up with the neighbors or as status symbols that set some people apart from others. Buying luxury handbags as investments is a weird phenomenon unique to Korea. The children of business tycoons have also opened themselves up to public criticism for their lavish spending on opening gilded stores that hock the latest and most expensive imported luxury products, rather than using their parents’ money to develop innovative local products or services. And the labels are laughing all the way to the bank.

Addiction to luxury goods is a public malaise. We need to treat it before it becomes incurable

SEE? YOU NOW KNOW TO NEVER BUY CHANEL AT KOREA! :))))

Told you she was consistent

Madonna continues to be the best fashion tour for promoting a movie. Here she is in the New York premiere of her movie "W/E" wearing Marchesa Fall 2011. It's a shocking choice for Madonna, label-wise but since Georgina Chapman, designer of Marchesa, is dating Harvey Weinstein, the distributor of Madonna's W/E, I guess I shouldn't be shocked. Anyway, the dress is still consistent with Madonna's ongoing fashion transformation. Kudos to her stylist! :D

PS. I don't own the pictures, just saw them at Madonnarama.com Thanks! :D

Yeah girl! :D

She's Madonna that's why! :)

PAAAAKKKK! :))))

Looks good whether white or gray no? :)

MADONNA IN VIONNET

And no, I'm not gonna stop posting about Madonna.

I can say for everyone that Madonna is by far, best fashion tour for a director (even for an actress). She defeated Rosie Huntington-Whiteley here! :D

Well, here is Madonna in an interview for Nightline wearing Vionnet Spring 2012. Photo by Style.com

Full List of Oscar Nominees

Congrats to the nominees! Vogue US scored with three best actress nominees : Meryl Streep (you go girl, you're my bet!), Michelle Williams and Rooney Mara (a surprise to me, gotta watch The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo!)

People are saying that Viola Davis from the Help might win but I think Meryl should win just because she has been nominated sooooo much that the Academy is just angry with Meryl. Let her win again! :)))

A fashionable day to all of us! :)

MEETING DIVINE LEE

She is so divine! Divine Lee was a guest speaker at an ACLE by UP SPECA last January 20, 2011. So I went there despite the fact that my org has an ACLE, I just gotta go there and meet her in person!

I was not disappointed. She was very charming and lights up the room... with her bekiness. "Beki" is a term Filipinos use for gays. Yes, she's all female in form but "beki" in heart! I love her!

She talked about her career and shared tips on how to be successful. Basically, JUST DO IT! She even told us to have a thick face, you won't lose anything from trying. They call you trying hard? Then, try harder! She also shared tips on getting along with a lot of people, make up tips, dealing with negative comments and all that.

She is very hardworking. The girl is a top model, a muse, and a businesswoman for Christ's sake! You go girl. Here are some pics from the talk and my pic with her. IT'S A VERY DARK PIC! :(((( But oh well. I will see her again I promise! :)

 I don't know who made her dress but she was wearing an olive green Louboutin "Daffodil" pumps (I think). Haha! While I'm wearing a Mental top, Folded and Hung harem pants, bag from Korea, and shoes from Topshop. :)

GOLDEN GLOBES: THE LOOKS THAT MATTER

If your star does not appear here, she's on the worst dressed.
PS. WAS PAULA PATTON DRUNK? I MEAN, DID YOU SEE HER ON THE RED CARPET, DOING FAKE SMILES AND SPREADING THE UGLINESS?!?!?!?!?
