Most extravagant purchase in my life:

 

I’m going to get a little personal here for a moment, only because I feel the back-story is needed.

At the beginning of this year (2013), February 29 to be exact, my divorce was finalized. In the settlement, we split his retirement and I elected to receive a lump sum.

Fast forward to June, when I received the check. I wanted something to represent me, to cheer me up and help me put the past behind me. I wanted to just spend on something that I wanted and I honed in on a purse. A bag to be exact and it had to be beautiful. Large. Name brand. Luxurious. The epitome of glam and elegance and sophistication and just…everything I wanted my life to be now that I was single. Where does a girl go when she wants to feel all those things without surgery?

To Louis Vuitton of course.

I picked this bag:

The Neverfull GM

And fell in love. To me it represented everything that I wanted to be, everything that I planned to be now that I was single, thinner than I had ever been in my life and happy. The moment I handed over my check card and the sales clerk handed me my bag in return…it felt like everything was falling into place. No, it didn’t solve all my problems or lessen the sting still in my heart of the divorce, but it did make me smile and that my friends…is a good place to start.

Luxury wish list

Luxury wish list

I’m not afraid to admit…I have expensive tastes. I like the finer things in life and often lust after them as if there were a decadent dessert waiting for me to devour them. If I ever win the lottery, I’m getting these things first.

What woman does not want a channel bag? Even if I never carried it but to bed, I would be very happy. A nice black or white would be great, but I’m willing to take any color.

I would need more than one pair of these shoes. Gorgeous styling, sexy heel height and just…ohhh…beautiful shoes. These are going out and showing off shoes. These are shoes to go on that ultimate date…you know the one where the guy you’ve been eyeing for a while finally asks you out? Yea…that kinda of date.

Oh man…do I really need to say why I lust after this bag? Just the epitome of luxury and beauty and everything that is glamorous. I would seriously want a collection of these bags, in a rainbow of colors.

Since I’m rich anyway, why not have the ultimate in luggage? I would love to own the hard cases of this line…all of them. Of course, I would need to own my own plane so that the luggage wouldn’t get stolen or damaged, but I’ve won the lottery so of course I would have one.

There are other luxury items on this wish list, but these are the ones that have to do with fashion.
