New bag

I have decided I want a new, exorbitantly expensive bag.  And what better timing, you know, with the excellent exchange rate and all.  Or the fact it's spring - who doesn't love spring?  I have been doing a lot of research, and online stalking various candidates.  I have it narrowed down to two.  This pretty puppy from Chloe:
And this little lady from Smythson.
As ever with this sort of purchase, it really needs to be heart melting love before committing.  I think it's love here in both cases, but it's internet love, which we all know isn't the same as love in the flesh.  Plus I'm actually struggling to justify spending this much money on a bag.
Tally-ho, what have we here?  A husband who is going to Hawaii and Las Vegas for a week and a half with his friends?  The perfect excuse to look supportive while leveraging off guilt to get a bag that costs the same as an airfare?  The stars have aligned my friends.  Now I just need to get over the line with my inner Jekyll and Hyde, which goes something like this: Oh, pretty bag - yeah, but it's sickeningly expensive - but quality lasts so much longer you know - what's wrong with you, why can't you be happy with what you have - I'm a professional woman who is nearly 30, I deserve a nice bag - you are a total victim of fashion trends and marketing - shut up - no, you shut up.  Meanwhile, I've emailed the Vegas store manager of Diane Von Furstenberg (Aprilyn - very helpful), and she's got a dress and a scarf waiting to be picked up by a certain husband.

  1. I can only imagine the crap that husband is going to have heaped on him by his mates when he has to skip the mud-wrestling competition to go pick up your von Fursty purchases... hilarious.
