ReplyDelete#3 - you can never have too much of, trust me. Sev years ago an idiot neighbor left their tub on and went out of town, completely flooded my bedroom. Ruined 3 pieces of LV. My most fun shopping ever was spending $6000 on nothing but Louis Vuitton! (My best friend's daughter compared me to one of the Katrina refugees who used their FEMA money on gambling and 1-900 calls!
ReplyDeleteGucci is okay, but the shoes don't fit me all that well. I love their scarves, and have about 15 of 'em. (only get 1 scarf a year).
Ferragamo is going downhill, I think. Stuart Weitzman is taking it's place.
