Fashion & Style 3 Tips for Buying Luxury Bags Online 2:49 AM Luxury bags are an obsession to many, and it can sometimes be difficult to get your hands on the bag that you were looking for. Thankfully, technology has made it easier to find rare pieces these days. There are now more luxury brands being sold online, which allows you to get exclusive items from current and past collections from wherever you are on the globe. However, if you’ve never bought handbags online, it can be difficult to know what to look for. Here are a few tips for buying luxury bags online. 3 Tips for Buying Luxury Bags Online Check the Seller’s Reputation The first thing you should do is check the reputation of the seller; check what other people have to say online, find out how long they’ve been in operation, and check to see if they have physical locations. Stores like SSENSE, for instance, have been in operation for years and have physical locations across North America. They are the perfect online high fashion store if you’re looking for an authentic Fendi bag, for example. These luxury bags from Fendi are highly unlikely to be counterfeit, as stores with physical locations have to abide by stricter rules than online retailers. Buying from a store like this will reduce the chances that you end up with a cheap knockoff. Check Their Returns Policy In some cases, you simply might not like what the item looks like once you get it, or there might be some signs of damage. Either way, you want a retailer that makes it easy for you to exchange or return the item. So, make sure that you look into their policy in detail and make sure that it is written in simple terms. You don’t want to have to deal with some hidden clause that makes it virtually impossible to return anything. We also suggest that you give the retailer a call. Doing so will let you know if they take customer service seriously and what you can expect if you have issues. Payment Options You also want to buy from a retailer that offers safe payment options. Ideally, you want a website that allows you to buy through PayPal, and you want to make sure that they’re verified as well. This will ensure that they are who they say they are, which will give you extra protection. If you buy from a verified buyer, you’ll have greater recourse against them if anything happens. PayPal takes their clientele very seriously, which makes it easy for you to get a refund if you feel you have been misled in any way. Using PayPal also makes sure that your personal information remains safe at all times. The second-best option is to pay through a credit card. However, think twice about using your personal credit card. We would suggest that you go with a re-loadable prepaid card so that only the money on the card will be compromised if you’re dealing with a scammer. If you follow these few tips, you’ll be able to make great finds online and get the handbag you always wanted. Make sure to shop wisely, and don’t be afraid to ask about a certain site before you make any purchase.

Fashion & Style A Brief History Of Asics 9:46 PM A Brief History Of Asics You see these cool kicks in the stores but do you know about the legendary brief history of Asics?The company producing Asics shoes takes its name from the first letter of each word in the maxim Anima Sana In Corpore Sano. This phrase is translated from Latin as a sound mind in a sound body. The expression is also interpreted as a healthy soul in a healthy body. It is credited to the Roman poet Juvenal, who taught that this was all anyone needed to ask for in their prayers. The essence of this Japanese shoe brand is its founding principle which is promoting physical exercise as a means to achieve a healthy mind and spirit. A Brief History of Asics How Asics Began Now recognized as a maker of some of the best sneakers for men, Asics began shortly after the end of World War II. In 1949, Kihachiro Onitsuka, a former Japanese military officer, started a small shoe company out of his Kobe, Japan living room. Onitsuka's intention was to manufacture a product that would help invigorate his war-torn country's young people and bring them together. He believed that physical exercise and sports were excellent ways to promote the health and happiness of not only each individual but for what at that time was a disconnected society in Japan. With his desire to contribute to his country's morale and rebuilding efforts, Onitsuka devised a way to revolutionize basketball footwear. His intent was to create a shoe to help his countrymen win international sports competitions. Back in the 1940s, basketball sneakers weren’t designed for swift maneuvering and they lacked sufficient grip capabilities. Through a lengthy trial-and-error process, Onitsuka designed his basketball shoes and then watched players wearing them in a high school gym class to see how they worked on the court. He noticed that the players were slipping, and with feedback from the coach, he attempted to redesign his shoe. He didn't have much luck in improving the grip capability at first. But one day, inspiration struck while at a restaurant eating an octopus salad...One of the tentacles got stuck to Onitsuka's salad bowl. At that moment, he knew the way to improve his basketball shoe was to design its sole with suction cups much like those on an octopus tentacle. In 1951, the Onitsuka Tiger basketball shoe was launched with grips that allowed players to make swift movements and sudden stops on the court. The high school basketball team that Onitsuka used as a proving ground won their championship game. The Japanese Olympic basketball team also wore them in their competitions, and Onitsuka's company began its journey to international success. Growth and Popularity of Asics in America During the 1950s and 1960s, Onitsuka's company grew in its research and development efforts. It designed shoes for running, volleyball and tennis. It branched out into activewear for sports players of all types. In 1977, the company recreated itself as Asics and expanded its manufacturing to the United States. The brand grew in popularity internationally and became an official pop-culture icon when Bruce Lee first wore them in his movie Game of Death. Asics Today With new models being introduced and the innovative, high-quality, and grip factors that catapulted Onitsuka’s shoes to success, the company has maintained and expanded upon its products’ core features. If it’s for sports, hiking, or for stylish casual wear, some of the best footgear made for men can be found in the Asics product line. Wouldn't it be great if you're working out not just to keep your body healthy but also to achieve a sound mind?That's what Asics is about. How great to know about its brief history. This big international brand has an impressive principle that makes you want to support it.BRB. Will get another pair of these gorgeous kicks. See you at the sports store?
Fashion & Style Fake Reviews For Babyonlinedress 10:19 PM I'm exposing offers I've received to post fake reviews for Babyonlinedress and other fashion brands like 27dress, Luvyle, Joracon, Stylewe, Shoespie, Lukalula. I think that all these brands are under the same management because if you check their websites, they have some similar items in their galleries and sometimes use the same email. If you're an online shopper like me, online reviews matter---a lot! So imagine my surprise and exasperation when I got an offer to post false reviews for certain fashion brands at a very cheap price. That is a double offense for me. First, as a blogger who work hard and is passionate about my mission to influence. Second, as a consumer who wants to get value for the hard earned money I spend on the items I buy. I posted about this on trusted review sites exposing the fraudulence behind these brands. It irks me to see that they are still receiving 5-star reviews. These supposed satisfied customers are not only raving about the dresses they received, but are claiming that the 1-star reviews are fake. They're making it look like we are the liars and we are only doing it "maybe because of grudge against the company" as one review says. Giphy So here I am not only warning you but also showing evidence that I have received offers to post a fake review from these companies through email. When I was just starting on my blog, I received banner ad requests from a lot of fashion brands. Little did I know that a few months later, some of these brands would come back and ask to work for another project with them again. A fraud one! I feel sorry for their victims who claimed that: they never received the item they received something that does not look anything like the item in the photo or nobody is answering their call or email asking for a refund Fake Reviews for Babyonlinedress and other Brands Click individual photos to read better I have warned some close friends and the wedding group I joined on FB about these brands: Babyonlinedress 27dresses Just Fashion Now Stylewe Popjulia Joracon Shoespie Luvyle Lukalula Selaros But I feel like it is my obligation to warn everyone I could reach and appeal to my fellow bloggers or online influencers to please, please, PLEASE not accept the offer. Because sadly, there are those who agree in exchange for a few dollars. I am hopeful though that there are still people out there whose credibility cannot be bought. As I've said here before, somehow blogging transcends from being just a hobby to being an extension of our lives. It is our online presence. It reflects who we are. Anyway, I will let these screenshots be proof enough that these brands are making money out of deception. Babyonlinedress' offer to post fake reviews 27dress' offer to post fake reviews They forgot to BCC the recipients on their email. This message was sent to 73 recipients including myself and sad to say, some responded that they are interested. Luvyle's offer to post fake reviews I had a feeling that this was another fraud offer judging from the many requirements and the low budget so I asked for more details. And I was right! Shoespie's offer to post fake reviews This is the first company to offer me a fake review Joracon's offer to post fake reviews Stylewe's offer to post fake reviews Update! These companies just never stop. Now their approach is offering a content writing job. I've received another email to post a fake review (as content writing job) on reputable review sites. I contacted Trustpilot, Sitejabber and other review sites and they are thankful for my exposé. They have been working internally on how to avoid and filter fake reviews which makes me happy. Because that means they're taking these frauds as seriously as I am. For my wedding, I bought my bridesmaids dresses online based on a recommendation from the Facebook group I've been a member of for a while now. So I understand the importance of reviews. How can we tell now which ones are real and which ones are false? I wish I have the correct answer. What you can do Buying online is a huge risk. Especially if the item is for a major event or special occasion and doesn't come cheap. My advice then to avoid becoming a victim of these fraud companies is to: Do your own research. That's why I posted this because in case you're looking for proof if you could trust the 5-star reviews you see, here it is. Ask around. When I was doing research for wedding suppliers, I didn't only read the reviews but I also contacted those who posted a bad review and asked if their issue has been resolved or not. I also asked friends if they have a personal experience with the company or know someone who does. Trust your gut. If you think it's too good to be true, it probably is. Follow your intuition. If something's not right, don't buy. Buy from physical store. As much as possible, buy from a store where you can see the actual product. At least you know if there is a problem right away and you can go back if you need a refund or exchange. I understand the convenience of online shopping. I've bought stuff online too. In the past, I have also worked with some brands. But I see to it that I post an objective review even when I received the item for free. I would always add the disclaimer that all opinions are my own. At the end of the day, my blog is not just for me to express my thoughts and rants about life and love. It is not just for sharing my experiences and travels. It's my service to others. The least I could do in exchange for the time you give me by reading my posts is to be as honest and real to you as possible. I hope you find this review before you buy from any of these brands. Are you also buying online? How do you distinguish a genuine review from a fake one?
