confessions of.

09Feb08

i am going to go out on a limb here and indulge my inner girly girl who delights in all things worldly. here is a shrine to parade my most recently acquired material possessions. consumerism has consumed my life, literally. year-end discounts plus sales galore plus a guilty conscience gone awol equals ikea nesting instinct in overdrive. i am defined by my steve madden boots. now all i need is my own fight club.

winter came. winter went.

and in the meantime, i shopped myself numb.

before anyone writes me off as a becky bloomwood type compulsive shopper, i swear i am stingy scrooge anytime else within the year. all major purchases are held off until this time. so what i do is take advantage of the eventual price cuts during all those crazy sales at the finish of every season.

clearly making me come off as a deranged shopaholic when i come back from a mall trip with a gazillion bags in tow, when i finally do decide to spend. except people only ever see me on those few isolated occasions. there she goes, that wasteful extravagant spendthrift i could practically see little dissaproving thought bubbles floating on top of their heads.

well anyways.

germany proved to deliver quite a haul. zurich and salzburg were just day trips, not nearly enough time for bargain hunting. prague was 3 days of retail heaven.

i got myself:

1. a tee that has a 3-eyed blue monster saying “i’m not silly” on it, from zara. pretty self-explanatory.
2. one cerise colored cable shawl
3. a pair of dallas fit denim jeans
4. a pair of black leather sandals
5. a black rectangle satin lined handbag, all from esprit
6. a pair of nike+ enabled running shoes. pink and black detailing, loveliness.

back in moscow me and the girls raided ikea. i decided one could never own too many stars. so i bought a string of five more, to add to the one i already had mounted to the wall above my bookshelf. leftover christmas decorative lights, ohsofestive.

my little hiding place of a corner, starlit and snug.

and messy. but that’s beside the point (of this completely pointless entry).

also, one pair of butterfly print jammies from accesorize and one pink water bottle container from nike. supposedly to go with the shoes. i so can’t wait for the snow to thaw over at the lake.

oh and i bought an iPod. The iPod. red and engraved and perfection. which is an entire story in itself, so wait for it.

looks like i’m in for another half a year of cheap cereal and recycled used tissues, extreme penny pinching starts now.
