knock off burberry watches 1368

While shoe shopping yesterday, I encountered a sales associate that very much wanted to tell me all about the trends for Fall 2010. I worked retail in college, so I never mind letting someone do their sales spiel without interruption, even if I already know what it's going to contain. This time, though, I had to stop the poor guy when he got to the part about studs. I'm so over studs. When I told him that, he made a face like I had just kicked his puppy and sounded appalled that I would make such a bold declaration.I hadn't given much specific thought to whether or not I still thought studs were cool, but when the sales associate was waving a pyramid-covered combat boot in my face that I had no intention of ever trying on, let alone buying, it became clear �C I'm done with them. But is fashion done with the trend, and more importantly, are you? With the appearance of this Burberry Studded Leather Travel Bag on Net-a-Porter yesterday morning, it looks like some retailers hope we'll buy in to heavy metal for at least a few months longer.Are you done with studs?* Yes, they’re SO last season!* Never! I like a bit of punk in my personal style.* I’m mostly over them, but on the right garment, you never know.View ResultsThis particular bag isn't bad, it just looks like it should have come out a year ago. The shape and color of the studs give the bag a nice variable shine from a distance, and it's fairly neutral, which always plays in a dying trend's favor. But for a bag that big, it seems like so much metal would make the bag nearly prohibitively heavy to carry. Although if you like your accessories to double as weapons, you could probably beat up a potential mugger with this bag quite effectively.When I saw the Burberry Heart-Studded Satchel for the first time, I had the same internal monologue that I had while flipping through accessories pictures from the brand's Spring 2011 runway show. It went something like, Really? That's it? Christopher Bailey can do wonders with every other segment of the brand, but this is all that us burberry leather bag folks get?Sadly, yes, this is all we get. Despite some accessory success several seasons ago and a few nice-yet-completely-unmemorable bags popping up every few months, Burberry's handbag efforts have left much to be desired for some time now. I can only hope that the best is yet to come and that Bailey will throw us a bone of some sort in the near future. In the meantime, what in the world does he want us to do with this?I just��I can't. I can't work with this. I'm not 12, I'm a grown woman, and I don't want studded heart shapes covering anything on which I'm expected to spend $1500. I can get behind well-intention irreverence and I'm always up for a little bit of whimsy, perhaps even more so than the average Burberry customer, but this design reeks of immaturity.I can barely think of anything articulate to say about this bag because the only thing that keeps popping into my head over and over every time I look at it is WTF. And that's not particularly articulate or interesting, but it may indeed be an accurate and fair reaction. replica Burberry handbags can do better than this with leather �C just look at their Spring 2011 jackets �C and I hope that someone in the company's accessory department steps up to the plate soon.

Sales of Burberry watches have helped the company's licensing division record a "stronger than expected" performance, according to a report.It said that a mid single-digit percentage decline in licensing revenue is now expected, instead of the previously forecast drop of up to ten per cent.Furthermore, like-for-like retail sales are up by more than nine per cent during the first-half of the year.Angela Ahrendts, chief executive of luxury watch maker Burberry, said: "The momentum at Burberry continues, with 21 per cent revenue growth and a material improvement in the gross margin in the first half. While mindful of our strong second half last year, we currently expect adjusted profit before tax for the full year to be in the top half of market expectations."Recently, Burberry unveiled its autumn/winter 2010 watch collection, including items carrying the firm's famous chequered pattern on the strap and steel timepieces for a more robust look.
