Yesterday I went on a mini shopping spree with my giftcards and money that I got for Christmas. Thank you family and work! I hit up the Alexander Wang store where I had the hardest time-- if you've been reading this blog for awhile you know I'm crazy obsessed with A. Wang and his bags. I've had my eye on the Rocco bag ever since it came out but since I had this money in my pocket since Christmas I had been seriously thinking of spending it all and then some on this bag or the Diego bag. I did however do some heavy investigation into both these bags before going to the A. Wang store I went to Barneys Coop to check them out and after feeling them I really had second thoughts. These bags are BEAUTIFUL but practicality seriously comes into play. These are HEAVY bags (which I guess is why the have such a big price tag). So with this in mind I still strolled into A. Wang and headed straight to the bags looking them all over picking each one up and testing them. I honestly came VERY close to buying the Black Angela Clutch bag....my problem is it isn't an every day bag and online kinda fakes you out-- it looks like it can zipper from the top side but it's more cylinder and really opens weird. It came down this bag and the Zest Hoodie Poncho. Which one would I use more? (since I loved both and did have a serious commitment problem...I almost bought both). But as usual it came down to being practical and use. I already know that I'm going to live in the hoodie. It's so comfy and has that lime green that I love. Can't lie though- I do sort of wish I bought both. WAH damn me and my practical thinking! I'm thinking that I can save on each of my paychecks and I still have some money left over I might have to go back and buy it *break down*

Anyway then went to Bloomingdales where I found a poncho-esqu t-shirt from DVF in the most perfect bubble gum pink shirt! Yes more brights! I tried it on and instant love! It felt so spring! You can see what I looked in both here and here (gotta love changing room photos!). O the shopping didn't just stop there then had to spend my Sephora gift card on some much needed make up (blush, eyeliner, and eye-shadow). Then Victoria Secrets was my last stop and as I thought VS would they pissed me off. First and foremost why do they they think everyone is a B cup and up! They have VERY limited bras in A cups (yes ladies and gentlemen I am a A cup and proud of it!). This trip reminded me why I hate bra shopping and why I dislike VS so much.

Here is a picture of the goodies:

When you go shopping for investment pieces do you thinking about practicality?
