This Week BG is Loving. . .

This gorgeously delicious rose buckle belt from McQ!
I love the beautiful and intricate design of the rose buckle. It is feminine yet cool. Matched with the perfect width belt, they will be just the thing to spice up and pull together an outfit. I’ve been looking for something like this for the longest time.
Although I might just end up with something even simpler this season. A black patent leather belt with a simple buckle and the perfect width, not too wide or too thin- like this one here from Shop Intuition. I saw something very similar the other day at Lafayette and I really wanted it because it would just match with everything, but alas they were 65euros. I’m not sure something so simple is worth that much. Thoughts?

  1. Yes, 65 euros is way too much for a simple belt like that. Patent belts are so popular now, I'm sure you can find a cheaper knock-off.

  2. About the patent belts:

    I got an identical black patent belt (down to the width and buckle design) for 2 dollars at Value Village.

  4. my rule about anything that seems expensive is that if i really like it and it is of quality and if i can get away with wearing it more than once a week it is worth it.

  5. I practice the same rule, cuz after some time I realize the benefits of such bargains - they'r universal and timeless.

  7. I adore that belt buckle! It just blends cool with couture so perfectly! And I'm LOVING patent leather...that belt in particular is just such a great staple in your closet!

  8. I've seen a belt just like that for $10. You just have to know where to look.

  9. Personally, I prefer to invest in staple pieces like jeans, jackets, coats, shoes, dresses etc but save a bit on fashion items like accessories and tops. However, if you can picture yourself wearing the belt in a couple of seasons, I would definitely not risk buying a copy of lesser quality. :-)

  14. ew, both of those belts are really ugly. who gives a fuck if one of them is designed alexander mcqueen? he's a designer--not a god. as for the other belt, it looks freakishly hideous and SO CHEAP! this is one of your worst posts in a long time. next time you may such a stupid post, think about it and at least make the writing worth reading! geez i feel like going to sleep when i read your site (sometimes, that is). only a minimum of your posts and good and the others? they're just BLAH. who cares you went to paris for over 2 months? whoop-de fucking do. why don't you post on more interesting topics. don't post on celebrities because that's even more boring. but you should post on things such as street style and covergirls on magazines. or you could even talk about new and upcoming designers/magazines. that would make your blog MUCH MUCH MUCH more interesting. dontcha think? well i do and you should really consider taking my words of advice. thanks for taking the time to read this awful long comment! and sorry for the fact that i used some bad language (fucking is such a fucking wicked word). i just needed to let my opinion out to you. i hope at least some people agree with me. oh and one more thing, you really shouldn't cuss as much as you do. i go to your blog probably once a day and my mom is always watching me on the internet. she sees the bad words that you write and often times forbids me to go to your blog. well since i am a BAD teen (haha, not really), i always visit your blog when she's not looking. so yeah again just another word of advice from none other than, your's truly! i suppose that's it! finally...! yeah, i know this is a loooooong comment and i'm known to ramble on and on about crap that isn't mother fucking worth reading. well finally have a nice day. p.s. sorry for my use of language on this comment. as you can tell, my mother isn't in the room so i use the word fucking and mother fucking, mother fucker, and fuck this a lot. suhweet. i think i'm done for now. bye bye!

  19. I was holiday shopping and saw chunky belts like that in Urban Outfitters (I believe they were only $20...so that means about 10 euros?). They had them in all different colors...you may want to check there if you're still looking for one. They make great accessories, especially with all of these babydoll/trapeze-like dresses and tops floating around!

  21. Why don't you post on more interesting topics. I think you mustn't post on celebrities because that's even more boring. But you should post on things such as street style and necked girls on magazines, or something like that, you know what I mean dear blogger.
