milano's curse

As usual.quite tired. Been in milan for 3 nights. this is my 4th night.
Milan is really a heaven for designer brands. 3/4 of the crew had to do some shopping here either for friends or themselves. One of them brought her husband along for holiday and she already bought 5 bags. Poor hubby.

Out of curiosity, i went in Prada, Miu miu and Gucci etc simply to take a look. I dont have a thing for LV all the while. Been a few times to LV in europe, no strong temptation and cant bear to spend that much to get anything. But my god lo.. the attraction to the italian brands was so so strong. The new prada series is SOOOO nice, and Miu miu bags are oozing of style. N i chanced upon this Gucci wallet for winter season in my fave GOLD trimmings. i never thought i like Gucci till i see this. I really love it. i cant find e exact pic online yet, probably nt that updated. I actually stood there n struggled for very long before my rational mind conquered my heart. i keep pyschoing myself i dont need a wallet for 10 ,000 times. that wallet was abt $400. my other me was telling myself , hey pamper yourself once in a while and get urself a xmas gift ,furthermore u cant find such a price in singapore.

I am glad i had enough self control. I am sure there's a curse in all these shops. A very strong curse that blinds the rational side of you and induce you to take one of em home. I realised my budget is pretty tight this month cos it's the festival season and i'm going bangkok cuming january. On top of that, this milan trip i already spent quite a bit on sightseeing and food. Sightseeing always come 1st foe me.

I'm amazed by this crew who i went shopping with. She told me she just want to go downtown to take a walk and she has NOTHING in mind to buy. She already bought a Gucci wallet on her 1st day just because she felt like buying something and she thought its CHEAP so why not. That's the one i m very fond of but she got it in another colour. N she said she bought it cos its cheap..cheap leh..win liao lo... something that i had to think about for half an hr and end up not buying.

We spent around 4 hrs shopping and she spent near $900 on 2 furla bags , 1 boots and 1 $65 bucks keychain while i only got 2 gifts from H n M and Zara for my sydney friends and a milano fridge magnet for myself. I am very proud of myself. whahahah. She admitted she din really save after 3 yrs of flying. for me, i think i love $$ more.

Anyway I am so excited abt the patent metallic leather bags this season. every brand has a bit of that. so bling i like! I am so gonna opt for cheaper alternatives for that. Hongkong awaits me anyway.....

Once again, i am a proud girl. whaha..yea right, my weakness is food, i foresee another burn in my pocket @ narita supermarket.

Ok gonna turn in now, shall upload my milan n venice pics when i go back sing. I cant wait to return to feel the warmth of Hoh's paw once more....
