Confessions of a Shopaholic

Yup, that’s right. I’m finally admitting to it. I am a bit of a shopaholic and lately I’ve been dreaming about going on a ridiculous shopping spree. There’s just something about buying that beautiful dress I saw on display and pairing it with the perfect shoe that makes me feel so great on the inside. Actually, it doesn’t even have to be a dress, or shoes for that matter. Purchasing any article of clothing or accessory makes me happy; I can’t even lie about it. But lately I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to stop wasting my money ‘cute’ things and actually save it for the pieces worth investing in.

I’ve had my eye on a few pieces that I have been saving up for, hence the reason I haven’t gone shopping in a while. It doesn’t help that my mom loves to shop as well, so anytime I come home I want to drag her out to shop with me (sorry dad). Don’t worry, even through these tempting times I've resisted the urge because I have one main goal in mind; Chanel. 

My mom and I have been eyeing Chanel bags, amongst other things, over the last few years and we’ve decided that we need to stop buying other brands and stay focused. I’d like to say I’ve been a lot better than she has at not shopping, but as I stay away from retail stores, my wish list keeps growing and growing and growing.

First on the list is of course Chanel’s medium shopping bag 

I love everything about Chanel as a whole, but there’s something about that perfectly quilted leather with the gold chain straps that make their bags to die for.

 

I’ve always said with every purse, goes the perfect pair of shoes. Next on my list, keeping it French of course; Monsieur Christian Louboutin. The red soles on his shoes make me melt. I've spent hours and hours on his website trying to decide what I’d want as my first pair and I’ve finally decided on the Bianca’s. I must say it was a hard toss-up between the Daffodile’s and the Bianca’s but at the end of the day, I find the Bianca’s to be a little more classy and timeless. Not to mention the fact that most people can barely walk in Daffodile.

  

These next few items are things that have ‘magically appeared’ on my wish list and I have fallen completely in love with. 

 Presidential Rolex 

Brian Atwood Zipper Pumps 

Roger Viver 

 

Céline Luggage Tote 

Large Lady Dior 

Burberry Trench Coat

Cashmere Burberry Shawl 

Chanel Bijou Sunglasses 

Gucci Crossbody 

Hermes Birkin 

Needless to say, obtaining all of these items is completely unrealistic. I know that I will never have all of these perfectly manufactured items in my possession but a girl can dream, right?

Lastly, I just wanted to mention that the point of this post was not to talk about my wish list but I wanted to encourage you guys to save your money to be able to purchase things that you never thought you’d be able to have. I personally find shopping to be 1000x more thrilling when I walk into a store and purchase an item that I have been wanting for a while because really, what’s the fun in having something if you don’t have to work for it? 

What's on your wish list?
