Since I have been a good girl…

…and not shopped for myself in a very very long time (A pair of shoes bought over the last week does not count, of course, what is one measly pair of shoes), I am doing the second best thing I can and am window shopping. Given the fact that it is pouring cats and dogs and a couple of cows outside, the next best thing I can do is to turn to net-a-porter and sigh. And sigh some more. And click. And fill out a wishlist, which, given the current state of brokedom is destined to remain just that, a wishlist. Then I move on to style.com and sigh some more. The amount of sighing emanating from me makes the spouse cast a curious eye on the computer screen.

Having tucked my salivating tongue inside my mouth, I get back to the dour business of trying to earn a living, seeing as I’m not doing much to earn my keep as a kept woman these days. Which is also probably why the husband is looking suspiciously at the computer everytime I sigh deeply. He will probably never understand the twist in the gut that happens each time I gaze on that salmon Marni pump.

    Right there with you on the purses. Can’t lust over those shoes right now, since I have a broken foot and the only thing I can wear is tennis shoes with orthotics! I envy everyone who can wear these shoes.

    i love your blog, but i will never share your taste in shoes though i love shoes myself.

    Still, since you live in Mumbai, you must try Ink5 stores for affordably priced and fairly hot looking shoes. Being a student on a rather tight budget, the likes of aldo and nine west are a long way off for me, so this store is an excellent stand in.

    have fun :)
