Material Girl

Hey! Did you know we are living in a material world? And wouldn't you know it...I am a material girl! Alright a cheesy start there. Anyways with what feels like the end of my American life coming around the corner here really fast, shopping lately has been a real pleasure. Let me just tell you that I am the kind of person that hardly ever buys their self something. I have been wearing a pair of jeans I bought used at a thrift store 4 years ago. The point is that within the last 48 hours I have splurged and bought myself a few new shiny things. First I needed to say goodbye to my old bag (purse): And hello to my spankin' new one: I have been running up and down town looking for a new purse / bag to fit my tastes. My shopping goals were:

• Large enough to fit a notebook for note taking.
• Had a wide enough strap to go across my shoulder (born with sloping shoulders)
• Also cute and fits my 'flowery style'

Obviously LeSportsac cut the cake pretty well!

It doesn't stop there folks! Yesterday I marched out of my house and bought myself: Yep an iPod Touch. Now I really feel materialistic and evil. But I swear these are the last high-priced things I am going to buy before I take off. However there is the Duty Free area at SFO I have to worry about.

All in all it kind feels refreshing to buy myself some lovely things, considering how frugal I have been in the past. I wonder if this new trend of mine will carry over into Korea. I guess there is only one way to find out! ;)
