Ted Baker Short Warp Coat

One belted coat with big collar, main materials include wool and cashmere.

Bought from Bicester Village.

Actually, every girl feels they need one more or even much more items for their wardrobe. I went to shopping and I always seek news for my wardrobe. It is hard to say if it is really needed. And every time I meet my friends, we talk about our looking and new products we bought. My friends and I really like this brand, and one of my friends has one similar style, and one has coat with similar colors. They influenced me to look for a similar coat.

I have a range of favorite brands, and I tried to search many styles of a coat both in store and online shops. And I know there are many brands I like have stores in Bicester Village and may have some styles which are currently out of stock in store.

There were few styles I considered in the village, because all of those had good discount and looked really nice. I made my decision because this style had the most attractive discount and I took the suggestions from my friend. There were another little stuff I like in that store, and if I bought both I could get an additional discount on my purchase. Therefore, I purchased this coat with a really nice price.

Because of the color and style of this coat, I can wear it in many different situations, like daily studying or shopping. I can also wear this one, and let my friends wear their similar styles to have a girl’s day out.

YVES Saint Laurent - Cabas Chyc Previous style

 MY Previous style Cabas Chyc Bag

Actually, the name of this Famous luxury brand "YSL" is recently changed to 'Saint Laurent'. With the change of brand name, there was some changes of its collections to indicate the change of brand. As a fan of fashion, this previous style Cabas Chyc Bag has long time been in my willing list. It is a iconic bag of this brand. But in the new collection of this bag, the signature of the accent panels of 'Y' outline is missing. 

The transformation of a brand takes time. Although I planed to buy this bag few years later because I though this style is more suitable of work, However, I decided to buy this previous style due to I really like this brand, and I prefer to own this historic style rather than the new one.

I putted this bag in my willing list because I though this style is greatly suitable for working, and the brand could show the status I am in. Branded product may give me more confidence as a indicator of my economic situation, which is greatly influenced by the current trend of Chinese society.

I am a frequent user of Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Weibo, and Instagram. I followed many fashion bloggers, which help me to catch all up to date fashion information. For this bag, because the brand made a huge transformation, therefore, there was limited ways to buy this style, only in few stores in big fashion cities, like London.

This previous style won the competition with the new one. Due to the changes of this brand, I prefer to own a disappearing style, which may keep the value of product and have much potential. Fashion is a life cycle, the old one will always become new. To compare with other brands, the big news of the transformation of this brand lead me to choose this one immediately.

Actually I did not plan to use this bag now, but as a master student, other mature students make me feel I can use this bag and won’t be looking over age. Overall this bag surprised me, it is much better than I though before, and become one more reason I like this brand.
