Pointless Expenditures
-
it's sooooo near payday...
and the weekend is AFTER payday...
hey.. just asking.. who wanna go spend a saturday looking for pointless expenditures (shopping) and then go makan or something after?
i wanna go get the toy tanks but may change my mind at the shop.. also, Caesar's is nearby -
Right now I am trying to convince myself why I should not buy this bag
-
I have this in my room.
That piece of wood is part of the undertray of the actual car. The whole thing cost me $80 and I can do nothing except boast about it.

I know this is the 'in' thing right now but... it doesn't really look... erm... 'aesthetic'.Originally posted by elindra:Right now I am trying to convince myself why I should not buy this bag

I think the real thing looks betterOriginally posted by Rhonda:I know this is the 'in' thing right now but... it doesn't really look... erm... 'aesthetic'.
I like it
But I don't like the price tag

How many handbags do you own already? Do you need yet another one? hehehe!Originally posted by elindra:I think the real thing looks better

Save your money... there'll be lots of things you'll need to purchase for your new home.

I think Chris will faint if I buy another bagOriginally posted by Rhonda:How many handbags do you own already? Do you need yet another one? hehehe!

I'm trying to talk myself out of it that was why I posted it
But we got most of the stuff we need already

Ooohh.. i want a razr for that price too!!Originally posted by the Bear:well, a maximum of once a month, i have a "pointless expenditure of the month"
last month's was a huge expenditure and it wasn't that pointless.. but it kinda killed the ability to spend on other things... i bought a new mobile phone after the last one kicked the bucket.. cost me $480 for a V3 Razr
in the past, i've had stuff like silly toys, DVDs, gadgets...
so, heck.. if you guys have any "pointless expenditures", just list them so we can rant for or against it
That's like only $300+ Australian.
Me likey. -
OMG you cannot beat me in pointless spending.
I bought a big Chanel earring once ... cos i was traumatised by something else.
And i decided to get the biggest and most CCs i could find. Then i found that i can't wear them cos i've got sensitive ears. Had to sell them for like half the price later. Sniffles..
Anyway my latest pointless expenditure. I bought Chanel shoes for my 85 year old grandma. I hope she can wear them. -

But i don't know about black. I know someone selling a raspberry one.. So cute. -

I like their suits but can't bring myself to pay the price for them
Maybe I'll just get one set one day when I feel like blowing the cash
I don't really follow any brands. I just see what I like and I might buy. But I'm pretty good at not using my credit card I force myself to stick to cash -
I've got the Holy grail of shoes.. Manolos.. and i still run around fanatically buying shoes.
I don't think there can ever be too many handbags or shoes.
Plus Lullela... isn't that expensive? Am i right? How much is it?? -

Yes i'm addicted to Chanel at the moment.
Check my bling bling out....
Anyway, i don't think you should buy a black Lullela, they have so many pretty colours, the black one looks a little blah.
I don't like the Chanel suits. Looks too tai tai. It's crazy... $6000+ for a jacket. Don't think so honey. There was once a Gucci jacket that didn't quite fit me.. and that was $1000 after 50% off, nuts.

I can never spend more than 200 bucks on a pair of shoes because I wear them out faster than you can say "WOOOAHHHHH"Originally posted by Lingos:I'm a CC fan.. Credit card fan. hahaha..

Oh, I like the black Luella because it is easy to match and I prefer the pretty colors of the Hermes bag. I need a nice black bag.
I like suits Anyway, that is if I wanna spend the money on the suits though I think I don't think I can bring myself to spend so much on clothes. $1.5k can get me like 5 suits from BLUM -
Hmm.. black is easy to match.. But i can't bear to carry black bags. So depressing.. it's depressing enough with dark colours in Melbourne's winter. I like my green, hot pink and stuff.Originally posted by elindra:I can never spend more than 200 bucks on a pair of shoes because I wear them out faster than you can say "WOOOAHHHHH"

Anyway the suits are not worth it... me thinks anyway. UNless you want them as heirlooms or something.
Yeah.. but my Manolo ..... is a one off. Nothing can look like it ever.
What do you think of my art deco style ring? -
Hahaha...this thread is so funny, made me laugh out loud.Originally posted by the Bear:i bought a bike and then did my back in.. now the doc says i should not ride a bike anymore
i liked riding my bike around the estate for exercise
As if it was purely the cycling that "did your back in". Office work, sitting posture, etc. could also cause the problem, like they did to me.
Now my >$1k Specialised mtn bike is mostly hanging above hubby's bike for companionship, altho' I did use it for 3 yrs or so...i think. Anyway, swimming, pilates (that develops the "core" ) helps to strengthen the back and ab muscles. -
Haha I should show you my suits than you know why I want a black bag!!! I have a lime green suit and a suit with hot pink as pantsOriginally posted by Lingos:Hmm.. black is easy to match..

Suits as heirlooms....I rather spend that money on jewellery
The ring is unique but too ritzy for my taste. I like my jewellery understated because I think my clothes are loud enough -
HAHAHA.. elindra whoa mama.. lime green suits.. hahhha.. Okie u win.Originally posted by elindra:Haha I should show you my suits than you know why I want a black bag!!! I have a lime green suit and a suit with hot pink as pants

I'm understated in clothing so i need the bling and bags and shoes.
How much is the lullela handbag in singapore can i ask? I think it's very expensive here... but i dont' even think they sell it. -
I didn't see it in SG but I want to ask my friend to help me buy. On the internet it's like 240 to 495 pounds depending on design.Originally posted by Lingos:HAHAHA.. elindra whoa mama.. lime green suits.. hahhha.. Okie u win.

I might check out the shops in SG that sell the rejects with slight defects which sometimes really you can't really tell what are the defects and you get a huge discount too -
OMG you mean such a place exists and i didn't know about it.Originally posted by elindra:Not going to HK anytime soon.

It depends, they have a few brands but mainly lots of Gucci
