Like clockwork, I squinted at the bottom right hand of my computer screen. It was 11:15 a.m. and I was in need a break. Most people take cigarette or coffee breaks, but I take virtual shopping trips to all my favorite sites. Besides, my breaks are cheaper. If I were to do the math on how much each co-worker spends a week on their bad habits, I would be able to replace my beat up Longchamp Le’ Pliage tote (my lunch bag).
My first stop: Paris. I took a quick glance at the Yves St. Laurent Updated Muse Tote ($1,795) and wondered if I needed to upgrade. My Muse was purchased in 2006, in bag years, that’s a century ago. But there’s no time to dwell on the past - I’m off to Milan to visit Valentino. Valentino and I have a love-hate relationship. Today I love the Valentino Kaleido gem-embellished tote ($2,995). I already have the perfect booties to kick it up a notch. It’s a shame I wasn’t able to grab a baguette or cappuccino during my short stay in Europe. As usual, I promised myself that when I return, I will do what normal people do: visit the Eiffel Tower, see the ruins and eat!
11:35 a.m. - back to reality. My project is due at 5 p.m. but if I finish early, maybe I can catch the red eye to China. Hey, I’m on a budget
