Shopping for Others
We were going to do a shopping for others.
Something like,
Dear Uptown Pocahantas,
We found these shoes for you. Actually, we hope you found them for yourself because really, no one else can wear them, let alone afford them. You probably can’t run with the wind in them, but you can at least make it into a cab in which case we suggest you stay in the cab so that no one mistakes your feet for Cousin It.
Love,
Fashionista
And we thought that’d be ok because if Monsieur Louboutin can make a 5 inch platform peep toe with three layers of suede fringe crawling up your calf (it’s actually called a “cut out boot”) we can make up whatever shopping characters we want.
But then we thought we’d just ask you, if you had a spare $1,795.00 would you consider these an investment?
If so, please explain.
Dear Agyness, Mr. Sartorialist, Bill C. (if you too are headed to Europe),
We know you’ll be doing a lot of traveling in the coming months, well, September at least and into October, and we think it’d be way more fun and way less exhausting if all your important documents were stored in this fancy leather travel wallet.
It’ll fit your passport, your tickets, dollars, pounds and euros – of which you’ll need a lot. And it’s bright yellow, so toward the Paris end of things you’ll have something bright to keep you going.
I know you’re thinking $235 is a lot to spend on something a bit less than practical, but you’ll have it for the rest of your life – which we’re betting will include a lot of airplane rides. And the nice people at Courier du Coeur even embroidered a little bicycle on it, just for you, so you’ll never feel too far from home.
Because traveling with your own bike would really slow you down.
xoxo
