This weekend marks the beginning of the holiday season as most cities and towns welcome the holidays with their annual Santa Clause parade. There was one here in Bradford last night, but I was working and couldn’t make it. But I did drive by some of the floats which looked amazing and bright J It really put me into the holiday spirit.
In my last post I listed some tips for shopping during the
Christmas season and how to get the best deals. Now this post is all about
YOU!! What do YOU want for Christmas?! Do you regularly buy yourself something
or only spend on others? I think my strategy is more of a “one for you, one for
me” type. It is very difficult for me to shop for my friends and family when I
end up also wanting the awesome gifts I just bought. Sigh! What’s a shopaholic girl
to do!?
I just read over Oprah’s list of Favourite Things for 2012
and I wish I hadn’t because there is one item on the list that is absolutely to
die for and way out of my price range. Are you ready?! Close your eyes or exit
the screen if you don’t want to be tempted either…don’t say I didn’t warn you!But here it is:
The Metallic Michelle Tote in Pink by Tory Burch.
Isn’t it the most beautiful tote bag you have ever seen? It
also comes in silver, but if you know me at all, you know that pink is my
colour!! (And I don’t care if I am 26 years old, pink will always be my
favourite!)
I like this bag for many reasons, besides the fact that it’s
pink. I like that it is a tote because it gives you more room to put your
belongings. My purse is an abyss of random junk, so a tote would be ideal for
me. This bag is also made of leather (well for the price I would hope so)! It
is metallic, so it really stands out but also looks very elegant at the same
time. All in all, I think this is the ultimate purse and definitely at the top
of my wish list this year. The only negative for me about this bag….the price!
At a whopping $395 I don’t think this is in my budget, and even if I could
afford it I would feel silly spending so much money on a bag. But I love it so much;
I think I am having one of those moments when an item speaks to you. If there
is a Santa out there, I am letting him know now that this would be a great
addition under my Christmas tree this year!
Since it seems like this bag is only available for purchase
on the Tory Burch website, I guess trying to find a cheaper one is not really
in the cards, but if you see a replica or something similar out there, please
let me know. Or if the item goes on sale after Christmas, that may also be an
option for me! OR maybe, just maybe, if the bag won’t shuttup and keeps talking
to me, I may just be so inclined to purchase, MAYBE!
What are your “favourite things” this year? Are you going to
be buying yourself any gifts?
Tory's boots are on my Christmas list! Sadly, they aren't in the budget in our kris kringle.
ReplyDeleteAnd guilty. I've already done the "one for you, one for me" this Christmas season. What's a shopaholic to do?
