Hi, pre weekend..you are here at last. I've got a mess of work to do but I'll get through it. Thanks to Hot Chip. I need them today. I am ready I am ready for the floor.
So I was doing a little research yesterday (as is my wont) about chicks. Women. Babes. And you know what? It's been revealed that we like to buy ourselves expensive things. Very expensive things. That's what the WSJ says anyway, and who am I to argue? Sure we've been reading about this for a couple of years now, but it's striking given the perils of our precarious economy and our uncertainty in general. I am a fan of this trend- and hope it continues. And it's not about buying yourself a vintage Verdura cuff (it may be though), but it's more about the feeling you get from buying yourself a present from time to time. Regardless of your mortgage, rent, or car payment, I implore you to get yourself a little present from time to time- a lipstick, a sexy bra, a book of vintage fashion ads. Whatever it is, you're worth it, so do it. I know it's not really about investing in one's happiness in a material sense, but material pleasures are great from time to time, especially if they are a bit sparkly or fun.
I myself am a fabulous self gifter. I gift myself frequently. After all, who knows what I want better than me? If I had the cash, I would invest in a few things this season, none of them jewelry related, though the day will come when I buy myself a vintage Rolex, and that's the truth. I spotted a ridiculously gorgeous Pucci bag (I know, right?) at Nordstrom the other day- a small leopard guy that was so glam and fabulous, boy did I want that thing, but boy was it out of range for a Saturday in August. Oh well, a girl can dream. And I tend to dream big.
So that's that, really. It's conference call time yet again, but I am thinking of gifting myself with something special soon...and you should do the same. You deserve it don't you? Cause that's what's up this selfishly generous Friday in the 305. Gift yourself this weekend. Do as I say, and live in the present and buy yourself a present. After all, who loves ya baby? You do, of course. XO
