Does anybody else see no point in splurging on luxury goods at the moment? Don’t get me wrong, I still love a bit of Cartier and Dior, but what’s the point when we can’t really go anywhere?

Me! I don’t see a point in shopping 🛍 if I can’t have a joy of showing it off.
My credit cards are collecting dust. The only things I shop these days are shares and education courses.
And you know what, it actually feels good.

Of course, Chanel will not go on sale! It’s was a cruel joke on my side. I finally got certified on CA employment law, also I took an online course from Harvard Business school, since Covid is a good excuse to take online courses from top universities.
I’m even thinking of taking online executive MBA... I could never plan it because my company wasn’t ecstatic about all the PTO time I needed, but now it’s also online...

For those in NYC - my favorite second hand luxury reseller (based in Paris) is in NYC next week for a pop-up. Their service is super professional and their selection of products is great. If folks are interested I am happy to add their info. I’ve been selling and buying from them since more than 5 years and have always been super happy with the service so wanted to share the tips ☺️ (not an ad, and not sponsored)

Kind of seeking validation here but also happy to take feedback. Is 22 too young for luxury goods? I’m obsessed with handbags. Like literally.

Idk what’s wrong with me🧐but I’ve been feeling super antsy and dissatisfied with life that I seek thirst in binge shopping, or even spending hours looking at handbags. Fyi I’m really not spoiled, most of the bags are hard earned and I consider myself to be ambitious
