Monday Blues.... bankruptcy


Waking up each day with nothing to do can become an expensive past time. Due to taking early vacation time in order to prepare for my month long vacation in the states is proving to be detrimental to my health and bank balance.

So it happened again today, after dropping my good friend to the airport earlier this afternoon, and having little to do due to all my friends working, I ventured to Mall of the Emirates to exchange a pair of pants I brought, in what turns out to be a very small size. I thought I'd pass the time with some retail window-shopping, no purchases just to look, well that’s how it started until I did the holy molly of mistakes and ventured into Harvey Nichols.

It would be a miracle for someone anyone male, female, kid or animal to enter the shop and not purchase anything! And so it began, first stop handbags and accessories, moving slowly thorough the spring summer collections I found my self arriving at Balenciaga. I believe I have found the perfect colour bag, a giant yellow weekend gold studded bag... simply beautiful.

Next stop shoes. I don't proclaim to be a Carry Bradsawesque shopaholic (although this moth I've truly outshone my self), but there's something about eyeing a pair of shoes from a cross the room and moving closer and closer to feel the bright shiny supple leathers of multiple designers. Next comes the mind games, the outfit ideas, the justification and reasoning behind purchasing yet another pair of over priced shoes. 

So when you see a pair of shoes that encompasses the ideal amount of beauty, shine, comfortability and price, you jump on the bandwagon and pray that those three little words "credit card declined" don't interrupt your fantasy.

Shoes purchased I ventured upstairs to fashion, passing by Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Moschino to one of my favorite casual designers Sandro which meant a quick no harm purchase and to finish my trip a quick stop off at TopShop to pick up a dress for the weekend.
