So if you prefer a spacious luggage, Furla's candy bag might be perfect for you.This is how the interior looks like if it's loaded with stuff. Take note that I bring big pouches and wallets with me everyday. And everything went inside the bag easily, without having to worry where to place each item. I used my Lumix LX3 to take a pic of the bag. And the LX3 fits perfectly right in it, plus more space to spare. To give you a concrete idea of how big this bag is, it's almost as big as LV's Speedy 30, but at a more affordable cost.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Stitches are excellent, and on its own, the bag looks and feels sturdy.

It can be used to classify behaviors and attitudes toward preferences such as drinking a specific soda brand, using a particular laptop brand, etc. But let's limit it this time to fashion, since "Brand- Consciousness" is always associated with this topic.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i><b>"ARE YOU BRAND- CONSCIOUS?"</b> </i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">This is probably one of the most asked questions when it comes to fashion. And most of the time, "YES" would raise eyebrows, and awaken some patriotic sensibilities from someone who cannot understand and is against such behavior. So being a brand- conscious myself, I've been to the good and bad side of it. And in this comprehensive entry, I will tell you why.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JaCJb9yCS6M/Tcbi-XzpaRI/AAAAAAAAI98/J5oZcbZYDr4/s1600/brandconscious.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 112px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JaCJb9yCS6M/Tcbi-XzpaRI/AAAAAAAAI98/J5oZcbZYDr4/s320/brandconscious.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604416347479566610" /></span></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">My blog captions tell you that this blog is about CASUAL STYLING, DENIM, AND BRANDS. Ever since I was old enough to understand the importance of fashion and styling, I already had this strong preference for branded stuff. I would have to credit magazines and the media for their wonderful job of creating creative and effective advertisements to make you shell out money for their goods. Also, my mom, herself, is brand- conscious.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">For polo shirts, I prefer Lacoste. For bags, I prefer Longchamps in a hundred colors even if they all look the same. For denim, I prefer Seven Jeans, Current Elliot, and Lucky Brand, and so on and so forth. But I am no profligate neither am I a show- off. I am wise enough to know what I can and cannot afford.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">I would assume that the word "vanity" comes right out of your minds right now. A resounding yes. First. I have to admit that this is one of the reasons. Branded goods, believe it or not, give you confidence whenever you are wearing one or if you're clad with it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Secondly, branded goods have value. A premium item, no matter how long you've had it in the abyss of your closet, will always have a value even years after you bought it. You'll thank your branded bags, shoes, and clothes one day when you're starting to go on a deficit.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Third. Branded goods provide comfortable, relaxed, and perfect fits most of the time. I am having a hard time finding a nice form- fitting, shape- flattering pair of jeans from local and Asian brands. I am not really a snob when it comes to entry- level clothing. But most of the time (if not always), these brands don't have my size. Sometimes, I get lucky and find a size that fits. But the form looks horrible. Since we're talking about jeans, High- quality denim doesn't come at a cheap cost. But you really do get what you paid for once you slip in them.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Fourth. Buying branded goods is a way to reward yourself. This is what I got from my mom. Any branded item that she buys is indicative of success in her career. So if you find yourself buying a Birkin one day, you'll probably just smile and look back at the glorious memories, your journey in the hard but wonderful path called life, and how the hell did you get to where you are right now.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Fifth. You can save more by buying branded stuff. Think of this analysis. What's cheaper? A 50php white shirt or a 550php white tee from Zara. Bargain hunters and cheap thrillers would go for the former and exclaim "SAVE!", let me tell them that no, that would be "SPEND!". You will always get what you paid for. So a 50php tee is nothing more but a 50php tee. So if it shrinks after washing, you travel all the way to the tiangge where you bought it, wash it, then it shrinks again, and the vicious cycle continues. Sometimes, bargains are not really bargains. Think of the time and efforts wasted. These are equally valuable too! So do yourself a favor and buy that Zara tee.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Lastly, Quality. My first ever Lacoste tee was bought at around 6 years ago. And it's still in perfect condition. My pair of 7 for all mankind, which I wear six times a week, still returns to its original shape right after ironing. And it doesn't fade! From stitches to washes, you're pretty sure that they're all excellent if you're investing in a premium label.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">I've presented to you now why some people are and choose to be brand- conscious. Those who diss and criticize should now understand why.</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pmdh6AnTuWE/Tcbi9-9Nc0I/AAAAAAAAI90/XbRYU21F60I/s1600/sue-du-jour.com" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pmdh6AnTuWE/Tcbi9-9Nc0I/AAAAAAAAI90/XbRYU21F60I/s320/sue-du-jour.com" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604416340808790850" /></span></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span">Photo credits: sue-du-jour.com</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">But Brand- consciousness can lead to Brand- Obsession. Here's the dangerous part. Let me tell you why as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--wNpL9iNrv4/Tcbi907VXlI/AAAAAAAAI9s/LY-oK-UUDIA/s1600/fanpop.com" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 244px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--wNpL9iNrv4/Tcbi907VXlI/AAAAAAAAI9s/LY-oK-UUDIA/s320/fanpop.com" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604416338116566610" /></span></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span">Photo credits: fanpop.com</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">My being brand- conscious peaked when I was in High school. During that time, my mom didn't have enough money to buy branded goods for the both of us. So I settle for whatever measly- priced branded stuff that mom could afford. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">So even if the style is blah, or the piece of clothing/bag/jewelry/footwear doesn't really suit me, I would still wear them to places that I go to, as long as people know that I'm clad in branded clothing.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">'Twas a good thing that I was able to battle this spending problem after high school. I became more conscious about money, and learned to appreciate its value. So from then on, branded or not branded, as long as it looks good and feels good, I'll buy it if it's worth the dough.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Recounting this experience made me to think of some of the dangers that entail brand- obsession. So read on.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hSrye7hcVW4/Tcbi9tkPHgI/AAAAAAAAI9k/JnRd3tb7hsc/s1600/bantulcraft.com" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hSrye7hcVW4/Tcbi9tkPHgI/AAAAAAAAI9k/JnRd3tb7hsc/s320/bantulcraft.com" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604416336140639746" /></span></a><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span">Photo credits: bantulcraft.com</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">First. Poser. Yes. That's what you will be if your brand obsession starts to soar to the heavens. One of the possibilities is buying counterfeit goods. Admit it or not, if you let vanity take its toll on you, you'll always find a way to please your ego and induce yourself, even if its impractical already. So what if it's a Secosana or a Kimbel? At least it's the real thing! Spare yourself from supporting infringement and give credit to the brains behind the brands. I'm sure if you were in their shoes, you'll feel bad too.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Second. Becoming a profilgate. Also known as a "Spendthrift". Lavish and extravagant living can be your financial downfall. As Baz Luhrman would put it <i>"Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you have a wealthy spouse. But you don't know when either of the two will run out."</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Third. Brand obsession distracts you from your goals. Would you rather have a trust fund or Louis Vuittons in all shapes and sizes? You should always have a clear goal in mind when it comes to planning your future.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Fourth. Impractical sacrifices. You will eat crackers and water for the rest of the year because you are dying to carry around a trendy Balenciaga. Before you can say hello to your Balenciaga, you're probably dead by then because of malnutrition and extreme caloric deficit. Remember to always be reasonable. One valuable thing my mom has taught me regarding trends is that trends will always change. They're meant to be that way. Before you know it, there's already a new fad and your item has become obscure. So learn how to be practical when it comes to following trends.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Lastly, Brand obsession can lead to the worst thing: Stealing. It can happen.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Brand consciousness is really hard to fathom, in the same way I can't comprehend K- Pop dressing. Some like it, some don't, and some really can't put a finger on it. There is totally nothing wrong with it. In the end, it's all a matter of preference. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">HOW ABOUT YOU?
