My Pearl.

I went to Spain with B last weekend, but that's not what I really want to talk about. Usually, I don't shop (or let her shop) if we're on purely leisure getaway. If it's leisure, it's strictly leisure - if it's shopping, well, by all means... However, that trip was an exception. We've gone to tens of countries together throughout these few months but this trip was the first time I (actually) let her break the rule.


I knew Freida wanted to shop and she had restricted herself too hard for 3 days because 1) I wouldn't like it and 2) according to her, I've given her more than what she could ever ask for. How can I not love this lady, tell me? 


So I asked;


"You want to shop, don't you?"
"No no."
"You know I won't ask for the second/third time, right? ;) Let's go somewhere. Chanel? Fendi?"
"Nooo. Zara is so cheap over here. I'm fine with getting new coats or anything from Zara."


That was the first time I ever heard any girl declining Fendi (or even Chanel) for Zara. But I guess that was the key to the unbroken spell.


I took her to Chanel instead.

And I made the choice - which I think suited her best. This bag doesn't scream Chanel but people who know will know that it's a jewel. Likewise, she's a person who doesn't (or rather, won't) show people what she has - people who know will know, while the rest can believe what they want to believe in.


I need to work harder this month, don't I? ;)
