Thou Shall Not Covet

Even though I know it’s time to buy a home, pay for a wedding, hell, even focus on retirement––I have a pathetic weakness for shopping, even now, during Christmas, with four––tough––loved ones to buy for. So although my head should be elsewhere, looking into foreclosures, picking a wedding location that’s affordable, finding the doggone perfect cashmere sweater for my fiance––all I can think about is the plethora of sample sales that continue to swirl around me this December. God, there was Tracy Reese and
Catherine Malandrino the first two weeks of this month. This week there’s Diane von Furstenberg, Vera Wang Bridal and last but oh so not least MULBERRY. I’ve been secretly coveting a Mulberry bag since fall.

The sale starts today and despite my work deadlines, hell, my life deadlines, I just want to go to that sale. Now the bags retail for well over a thousand, so even if it’s half price, I have no business dropping that cash on a handbag. My mom has always said, “If you can’t afford to keep $500 in your wallet
regularly, then you have no business spending $500 on a pocketbook.” It ain’t nothing but the truth, yet still I sit here thinking about the slick, beautifully hand-crafted Mulberry Mabel bag. What I really need for Xmas, even more than a gorgeous bag is some self-control. Can I get a witness?

Pam, those Mulberry bags are beautiful! We just received some of them at Nordstrom and I can't keep my eyes off them. Treat yourself, you deserve it.
Handbags are a girls best friend. Happy Holidays!

Okay, I wasn't familiar with Mulberry bags, but now I want to COVET the lavender one in the middle and the wine one on the right. Why'd you have to go and post that picture? Gee, thanks, Pamela! LOL!!!
