A very hectic day in oxford street today, probably its saturday. My brother woke me up in the middle of my sleep, and asked me to walk around the oxford street. Did not do much over there, we mainly focus our shopping in selfidges, the second largest shop (first should be harrods) in the UK. I have captured some pictures to give some friends some in sight of how selfridges actually looks.

I started to ask my brother to capture images from the entrance of selfridges, louis vuitton (a $450 billion business). I said to him, "what is so big deal about lv bags, purse, etc. when my aunt can get a Rm50 lv handbags in the pasar malam (night market) in malaysia?) and he goes "wow huge difference, etc". I don't mean to provoke him since he has one of the lv purse, but maybe he is right, after doing 'some' research and observations, i finally came out with some of my own conclusion by comparing a real and fake lv bags.

I even spend some time reading from different websites just for this lol. Although i do not really bother about lv products since im not an lv fan, but from my observation, it is not difficult to detect and contrast a real and fake lv bags. Usually lv bags will have those logo's everywhere the bag and those buttons or pins will usually not block the lv logo in the bag. The lv logo should be crooket so if u see any straight lv logo in the bag means that thing is fake (this is what a style expert Jess Zaino says) and I wonder what happens if I say that to those fake lv sellers in malaysia? Anyway, it says a fake lv bag will have a very unique design, where everything found in the bag is not going to be even, i.e. the bag straps, etc. and finally the monograms should have shallow and not obvious printed words on it. Tell me if these are true?

See what this expert says about the comparisons between a fake and a real lv bag:

♥ *waiquan* says:
- actually, the best way to differentiate fake and real LV bags is the lining
- the real LV bag, the workmanship at the handles and zips is very intricate and exquisite
- plus when u first buy the bag, the straps or handles may be of a lighter color
- and after u used for a while, it will turn dark

Somehow, she ended the conversation with:

♥ *waiquan* says:
- im not pro lah
- my most expensive bag is not even a luxury bag

LOL! She is really an expert in this area to me.

Another thing i really wanted to know, is that the comparison of gucci and chanel. Which of the 2 brands (overall comparisons) are more branded? Some told me chanel, and some telling me gucci. I am confused and hope someone will actually point out the differences and then tell me which of these 2 brands are more famous :)

Wondering around selfridges, we finally found godiva. People telling that godiva is a very luxury shop where you may find very nice chocolates. This is also a reason for me to pay a visit here today. Probably we have not ran out of luck yet, we actually get to test out the chocolates and truffles there. To be frank, very yummy! Although the price is a little too costly compared to other chocolates, but I still think it is worth buying, especially for some really good friends.

Theres also this thing that i found it very humorous yet complicated, there are some friends on msn, keep asking me to not be naughty (there are few of them saying that to me so far). I wonder what they mean by some sentences like:

*name and title censored*
lol
what u always do online
why can everyday stay up until so late

*name and title are censored*
- dont be naughty ok?
- i duuno why like to ask u not to be naughty
- u tell me
- lol

Firstly, I have no choice to stay up that late, mainly for education purpose, lol. If possible, i wanted to have some really good sleep everyday, but no lol. Secondly, I am not naughty, do not feel like being naughty and no future plans to be naughty. Also please define naughty. I do not go SOHO (an entertainment street at central london where you may find arcade centres, restaurants, pubs, clubs and bars, prostitution centres, etc.) for entertainments so how can I be naughty? Unless you think flirting around with girls on MSN are considered as naughty, then fine, lol.
