Recent non-Beauty Pick-ups

I have given up shopping for a few weeks... well, I should say I am trying to give up shopping for the next few weeks.  Forty days to be more exact - yes those 40 days.  I'm 2 weeks in so wish me luck because I have to be honest - I'm dying here.

But since I am on this self-imposed ban... I had to do a little shopping first.  There's actually going to be two posts on recent shopping.  This one for leather products, the other for beauty!!  I'm sure there will be another binge at the other end of this as I am pretty bad with self-deprivation.


I found a great big box waiting for me at work from my lovely SA at the LV in Scottsdale.  I don't shop a lot (duh), but she always treats me like a VIP customer when I walk in.  I ordered everything before the recent LV price hike.  Seriously I am getting so sick of all those stupid price hikes at LV.  It drives me into the pre-loved market for big ticket items.  Anyway, here is my little pre-Lent splurge.  Enjoy.


Goodies 
Epi Cosmetic Pouch, Multicolour Cles and Bandeau. 
A girl needs a treat now and again
BTW, I'm not going to do the whole, "here's my receipt", "I'm not bragging" stupid spiel.  I think it's stupid.  Seriously, mini-rant, but I cannot stand those folks on YouTube who talk rubbish about other folks videos, just don't watch the video! I don't think anyone should have to have a two minute intro explaining and justifying their obsession and/or how they spend their money.

But that's just me.  How about you?  What did you give up for 40 days/Lent?  Did you know that supposedly that's how long it takes to establish a new habit - 40 days.  LOL, I will not be establishing a new non-shopping habit - trust.

Stay blessed and thanks for stopping by.
