I’m not sure if the title of my post has anything to do with what I’m about to say. Perhaps, just a litttle bit. It’s been 5 months since I started earning my own keep. I was so painfully broke during my post-graduate days, that it was not even funny. My lowest points were looking for coins around my room and skipping dinners with friends because I simply could not afford it.
Things are quite different now. I save quite a bit, but, I’m also a bit of a spender. Maybe the pent-up shoppoholic within me has been unleashed, after having been oppressed for two long years under the watchful eye of my rational Super-ego, or at least that is what I choose to believe. I’ve been buying pretty things for my loved ones, and for myself. A couple of bags here, a couple of shoes there. Sometimes when I pass my card over the counter, I feel an immense sense of guilt that threatens to engulf me, and this is not a hyperbole.
Recently, something odd happened. I’m never one for labels & luxury items. I don’t see the value in Chanel, Prada or Louis Vuitton. And sorry, Fergie, but give me love anytime over labels. But 7 days back, I surfed onto Reebonz.com. It’s an online site based in Singapore which offers such fabulous discounts on branded darlings. I was never excited though, till I saw an upcoming sale event for Femme Sud. My. Oh. My. I did some research and fell hard. Head over heels. Infatuated. Lusted. <insert any appropriate adjective here> I was gone. I saw the Brag Book. Oh my. What a gorgeous, little thing. I had never heard of the brand nor seen the clutch in my life. But I needed it.
To cut a long story short, the sale opened at 12.00 p.m. I had been clicking refresh since 11.30. I was the first to make a purchase at roughly 12.03 p.m. And ta-da. I had succumbed. One has to admit though, it isn’t about the label, but the utter quirky beauty of the clutch. A huge drawback was that it was lambskin. <I’m right now very distracted because i was just reminded me of something that is due tomorrow. effin hell!> I wish I could talk more about this, but looks like I have to go on now and get started. The best I can do for now is to add a picture here, that I can randomly surf on and bask in its glory. : )
And I’m off.
(can i also just say the clutch comes with a pretty coin purse that says “Trust Fund” and a Femme Sud Lipstick?)
