I seem to have joined a little late after the festivities are over and it's just down to a few bedraggled drunks slurring in the corner!
To add my two bit's worth to the original post:
What I buy depends on my mood. I hate clothes shopping so rarely do that. I have a reasonable handbag collection - prada, gucci, chanel (my favourite), radley, 2 x prada, and a few cheapies from the likes of accessorise. I like shoes but don't buy very many as I prefer boots.
I don't wear a lot of jewellery but have recently treated myself to an 18ct white gold necklace with a diamond pendant. I wanted platinum but am saving up for a platinum/baguette cut diamond ring I've seen in my local jewellers.
Otherwise, the last main purchase was two flights with SilverJet to NY for the fella and I.
Prior to that was a bunch of high spec bits for a new games PC. Just upgraded it a bit more to 4GB RAM to make it fly just that little bit faster.Comment

And my 2cents...
I hate jewellry, except a cheapy sort of necklace. I'd rather even not wear my engagement/wedding ring, but that would lead to constant questions off everyone...
My fav spends are face creams (Sisley is my favourite at the minute) and Spa treatments (hot stones mmmmmm).
I could literally spend a grand a month on this stuff.
I did see a red Jimmy Choo bag a couple of months ago that I fell in love with, but it was £750, which I just couldn't bring myself to do.The pope is a tard.Comment

I once had to be forcibly dragged away from a pair of sude chanel fur (well, fluff!) lined boots I saw in Selfridges years ago. They were £750 and what really didn't help was some yank also enthusing over how nice they were. I still regret not buying them although I do think I would have been too scare to wear them.Originally posted by SallyAnne View Post
Actually, that reminds me, I bought some stupidly high heeled chanel shoes not so long ago off a german retailer on ebay. Have only worn them round the house, I really must find them and get some wear out of them before I take them down to oxfam!!!

I couldn't spend more than £500 on a bag, which is still a lot. But £750 is taking the mick. Even at £500 it would have to be pretty darned special and a good investment buy. How anyone could fork out £2000 - £20,000 (some sort of rare reptile skin) for the much coveted 'ladies who lunch' Hermes Birkin is beyond me. Even if I was completely loaded I don't think I could spend that much on a bag when the world is full of starving children, and I don't believe in buying anything made of an endangered species skin anyway so I wouldn't even accept one as a gift.Originally posted by SallyAnne View Post
Most of my leather bags cost around £80-£350 pounds. I never go cheap not well made, plastic leather look-a-like or designer copy, although I might spend less if it's a light raffia summer bag or beach bag which you toss out at the end of the season anyway.Comment
