Her Favorite Luxury Items
Admittedly, Belle herself admitted that she is new to owning and
using luxury brands. When you work as hard, you would want to give yourself a
reward or two from time to time, and judging from all the things that she has
been doing-a concert in January, a hit series shown in April but taped from Feb
to March, endorsements in between, A US tour, and more endorsements, we can say
well deserved!
What are the stuff she showed in the vid? Here they are in order
of appearance in the vid:
- The YSL College Medium Shoulder Bag
- Le Chiquito Jacquemus Bag
- Saddle Bag Blue Dior Oblique Jacquard
- Mixed Fine Bead Chain Bracelet Gold/Silver
- Dway Slides by Dior
We have seen her use 4 out of five of these things already (from 1 to 4). The slides are a new addition. This is the first time she will talk about each item, though. Let us try to see what her stories reveal about her.
Practical
Girl:
If you noticed, most of her pieces are in neutral colors.
Showing us that she wants to make sure that her purchases are worth the bucks.
She will make sure that they can be used in different outfits and colors. She
pointed out that the Dior Saddle Bag can be used in various situations and to
be matched with different colors. This is a good choice. If you will spend
major bucks on certain items, you have to make sure that it is frequently
usable and goes well with anything in your closet than buying pieces that can
only be used once or twice and would simply gather dust in the closet.
Sentimental
Girl:
Two out of five are not direct purchases, at least based on
Belle’s narrative. The YSL bag is a hand-me-down from her mom. She does not hide the fact that
she did not have the first piece as brand new. She relishes the fact that she
can have something previously loved by her mom probably feeling like the bag
has history shared between mother and
daughter.
Sisterhood:
We all matched with our friends at some point, didn’t we? Since
Belle is constantly with her glam team, Mama Jake and Ms. Adrienne are
constants. Lately, they are constants while the hair stylist changes from time
to time. From ads to guestings, Belle has her glam team with her, Mama Jake was
even supposed to come to Korea with her to do her make up for the SDA award.
With the long hours of the work Belle does, it is just normal for her to have
formed a bond with her glam team. They have become more than workmates; they
are probably her friends and confidantes. I remembered Son Ye Jin giving her
make-up artist and hair stylist a solitaire diamond necklace each after CLOY.
Belle, for her part, gave Mama Jake and Ms. Adrienne a Monica Vinader matching
bracelets. They have matching jewelry.
Royal Watcher:
For those not familiar with Monica ViIander, it is UK-based
jewelry brand liked by the Princess of Wales, the future Queen of UK herself, Catherine
Middleton. I wonder if Belinda is a royal watcher herself, as she also seems be
fond of polkadots clothes which is a part of the future queen’s staple and
buying the same jewelry brand she does.
From Where or Whom
I noticed that she told us if the item is a gift or something
she bought. One item she said she liked is the Dior Saddle bag, but she did not
let us know if it was a gift, a hand me down or something she bought for
herself. Just got curious because with the 4 out of 5 of the pieces she
mentioned she told the viewers if she picked it herself and who gave it.
Dior Domination
Two out of five are Christian Dior stuff. Could she be taking a
liking to the brand? She said she like the scent J’Adore which is also from
Christian Dior. Note: she also mentioned that this is a gift from her stylist
before when she showed the contents of her bag.
There will be more luxury items in Belle’s closet in the years
to come, and we will be excited to see what she picks and what will be gifted
to her by those she holds dear.
