Everybody loves shopping. I don't know about you but I get this certain joy in shopping especially when I have to buy a thing which I desire the most. Recently, I bought this eyewear that I was longing to purchase. Its a ray-ban wayferer. The style is unique because its two-tone instead of just plain black like the regular ones. Its a bit pricey though but I got it by saving up enough money from my job and a government loan that I got approved. What about you? What was the recent thing that you bought for yourself? Did you really desire it? Or just got it because of impulse buying? Whatever it is, it surely made us happy and contented.

Oh dear, no offence but they are the ugliest sunnies I have ever seen. And you got a Gov't loan to buy them?...my goodness....I hope it's a long time before you:
1. lose them
2. they get stolen
3. you sit on them or break them some other way.

What have I recently purchased? Actually, it was a bunch of things I recently purchased in a much-needed shopping spree splurge. The items I purchased were:
-- A new pair of white and blue-striped Adidas Trainers for a discounted price.
-- A new French Connection jumper I managed to find in a sale.
-- A copy of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves on PS3 for my brother for Christmas. A surprise present I know he will be delighted with.
-- A heap of clothes chosen personally by my mum who is currently trying to convince me to give them to her as an "early Christmas Present." Ha, fat chance mum;)
-- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for a mate of mine who has done so much for me in the past year, and this is my little way of saying thank you.
-- "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis, for the extremely cheap price of £3 in HMV.
All in all, a rather delightful session of consumer therapy, and I managed to cross off several names from the over-crowded Christmas list before the inevitable "Yuletide Rush" breaks out. Although, my wallet is feeling far more lighter than usual.

My last purchase was a "Red by marc ecko" handbag at Macy's. The price was normally $79...but I got it on sale for $19.75! And I got it with a Macys gift card that I hadn't used yet! :D

I bought a few things yesterday evening. One of the biggest things that I bought though was an over the door towel rack for our bathroom. I've really been trying to organize our apartment a little more since we've decided to live here another year so I've made it a point to try and buy more things to keep our home a bit more organized. So I bought a towel rack and my partner bought a shelf for in the bathroom. It's definitely helped and I like the look of them!

Nice. Home improvement. I do that too. I believe if you have proper clothes then your shelter should be also as neat and complete as possible.

I just came back from Toronto, I went where for the shopping spree. I simply adored Eaton center there and Armani Exchange store was amazing. I bought 3 things there and wanted more, but it was too much. I bought a scarf, a blouse and a cardigan. Simply adore them.

I would say that it is a smart buy. You certainly look good with your rayban. It seems that it is really meant for you. As for me the latest thing that I bought was my regulator for diving. I have been hooked with diving ever since I started about 3 months ago. Now, I am slowly buying personal diving equipments and I am almost complete. As you can see it is really expensive to buy the whole set all at once. Now the only thing that I lack is the tank. Though I can just borrow tanks from my instructor, so I would say that at this point in time, I am ready to dive anytime. Its really great and I feel very happy with my gears.

Thank you so much. Wow! Diving. I believe one of the best spending is buying stuff for your hobby or passion. Like me, aside from clothes, my passion is music. So i buy albums most of the time for listening and collection purposes.

Well thank you. Appreciate it. I agree, I do love buying things but I also have a problem with being an impulsive buyer. Sometimes I get myself into purchasing stuff that I don't really need or want. Happy mylotting to you as well.

I bought a bunch of Christmas presents on line (some books) and then my husband and I went to the store where we got wrapping paper and ribbon so that we could get all of the gifts wrapped up. I still have a few things that i need to order on line, so we'll see what my next purchase is going to be... probably a hotel reservation so we have a place to stay on Christmas. :)

I recently bought a black bag not out of impulse buying but because I really need it for everyday use. I used to buy alot of stuff that I do not need but when I had my own family already I then stopped buying anything but learnt how to save up.
The bag is the only thing that I purchased lately for myself. Most of the stuff I buy are for my son or dvd's so that is all.

I love shopping too. I couldn't resist buying things that interest me attracts me especially shoes. I love shoes so much that whenever I go to the malls I have to always passby to the department store or to a shoe stall to check the new arrivals. Just recently I bought a pair of shoes for me and for my son. I do always desire for shoes and I just feel so happy if I go home with a pair of shoe. yes, you are right whenever I buy shoes I feel so happy and contented.

Shoes shoes shoes. I definitely agree. I buy a pair every month for the last 9 months. Now, I have quite number of pairs. My notion in owning tons of shoes is to be able to preserve them and to look neat always. Love it.
