Loans For Brands?



As a fashion blogger I tend to ask myself sometimes how should I Position myself?
Well,  will I be considered as a true professional blogger, without possessing LANVIN bag or a pair of MARNI sandals? I think about it a great deal, and still am not certain what my conclusion is...

Brands are not something that are easily achieved - the chances we will get a gift certificate at CHANEL is less likely than getting it at ZARA or the Israeli CASTRO.  
Therefore my question is how come it feels like only people with money or Celebs are the ones who can dress up in designers clothing? should an average men get a loan for designers shoes?
 maybe it's something that makes sense in a different dimension -  as when you think about it, this is really nonsense.



A good example would be Alexa, Let's talk about it for quick moment- my fashion Icon Alexa Chung.
 Even though she came from a wealthy family, you could see that her wardrobe is very diverse, we can spot her wearing TOPSHOP and ZARA, along  with vintage and second hand items.
 Which in my opinion is pretty awesome, since it cause you to relate to the outfit once its affordable -  you can actually see yourself wearing it. Basically most of the time Alexa will combine brands with the items I mentioned above.
So a floral dress from TOPSHOP with a MULBERRY bag is something that make sense and works perfect together.


This is what so wonderful about clothes , you can play with it as much as you want,  mix and match is great especially when it's about expressing yourself.
 Who said that there must be branded items in our outfit?  we have such a great variety of things to combine - departments stores, vintage, second hand, outlets, mom's closet (which is my favorite..) and also top brands - but hey, it's not really a necessary!
 It makes me feel good to think that you didn't have to be wealthy or a celebrity to dress in a stylish way so we could look good and feel good.  Because even though it might sounds a little bit superficial, clothes certainly contribute to the initial impression of a person - the outer shell of ourselves.

So sometimes I must leave my desire aside (my Implosive wish to purchase CELINE bag that costs 1400$) and try to think how I make myself look stylish and fabulous without using only well known world wide brands.
 In the end, The name of the game is mainly creativity with a little bit of imagination and a lots of courage – Or as we call it down here,  Chutzpa!
