Obsession: Obi Belts

First of all i have to apologize for only posting one post last month is because i forgot as i was pretty busy and got carried away with the lovely sunshine. But anyway to start August off I have an obsession post for all you. My obsession at the moment that you can see from the title is Obi Belts. If you have no idea what an obi belt is then its a belt (obviously) which has a sash design. The word ‘obi’ is Japanese which comes from the sash of a traditional Japanese dress. My obsession first started when i saw the Gucci Spring/Summer 2011 runway which featured a nice gold obi belt paired with its colour-block outfits. This look has been seen on a number of celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Kerry Washington and Camilla Belle. And I love it !! Below is 3 high street Obi belts which are all from ASOS.com they all have the same idea but as you see there is a black one, a colour block one and of course a gold one just like the Gucci one that i want so much !! Hover over the images for the prices in dollars(US) and pounds(UK). Credit to Vogue.com and ASOS.com for images and Wikipedia.
