great australian brand part 3 & stella mccartney

mimco

to be honest, i both like and dislike this brand.

like, because designs are unique but you don't get bored of them. 

dislike, because quality is not the best.

take this bag, for example. it was love at first sight, but the metal tassel (really heavy, brass perhaps?) broke off and i lost it. The tassel was there to close the front black pocket but now i only have this little chain hanging in front, as you can see in the picture, so i can't close the pocket. this black pocket is actually detachable and can be used as a clutch or pochette with or without a detachable band. but now i can't do that.

and this wallet was also love at first sight. little swarovski crystals are so feminine...but some of them fell off after a while and the front button became loose.

despite some of the past bad experiences, i keep buying mimco accessories. its design somehow captures girls' heart the shawl i bought recently is of course from mimco!

i love these hair accessories. so detailed. but must be careful not to lose the crystals!!

so, i'd recommend buying some simple mimco accessories - like this red leather bracelet (above) or classic mimco handbags.

by the way, i had decided to take a little break from shopping, but that would be imppppossibleee, i just found out target will have stella mccartney collection from this friday!!!!! apparently this is their second time to launch her collection at target, and back in 2007 people qued at the stores and it was sold out fast. i didn't know about this in 2007 - probably because the girl who cheated with my ex boyfriend was by the first name of stella, i didn't even want to see this brand name, stella mccartney at that time.

but this time, i would love love to get some of this collection!!!
