About a week after buying the Celine I'm convinced that it is the best purchase I've ever made (barely topping the leather jacket you see here, though, which was actually a gift from my boyfriend). I haven't been tempted to browse eBay or stop by Nordstrom Rack because I'd rather spend my time and money buying exactly what I want without distractions. I need a new wallet (my Coach wristlet is like a mini purse and better fits a high school kid) and a camel or wine colored winter coat (the ones I have are desperately old and frumpy, and need to retire), so while I find the perfect additions there will be no extraneous spending. Every purchase should make financial sense, be needed and used, and make you happy. That's my strategy.
I went into Nordstrom Rack last week and man I swear that I was put under a spell and threw so many things into my cart because they all just made me so happy. Then I realized that I was on a buyers high and had to put it back for when I can really afford it.
ReplyDeleteThe purse is seriously perfect. I love the colors in it!
Amazing bag!

I am so glad you purchased that bag while in NYC. The jacket is beautiful and Tom did a great job when he purchased it for you! As for wallets, I am sure you can find a great deal on one from Ebay, I have bought expensive ones in the past, but always use the 5 year old, leather, scratch resistant one from BR. That thing has 18 credit card slots, 5 bill slots, and a zip pocket. It's the perfect continental style wallet.
ReplyDeletei love the clean lines!
ReplyDeleteand your bag is to die for. x
I absolutely adore your blog!
