The Best Hobby ever Shopping!


May 12th, 2008

Well what a way to start my blog my wring about my favorite and the most important hobby in the world shopping. I am being serious there is true art and skill to a pressure of the retail therapy. It requires dedication and passion. How I scoff at these people that just can’t grasp the skill. It is truly down to the preparation as with any sport or skill.
Now let’s take for example an outfit for a night out. Start if you can 2 weeks in advance (I will address last minute shopping in a later post).
Flick through the magazines and be realistic yes it would be a dream to have Kate Moss’s figure and bank balance but don’t waste time on things you know deep down won’t suite you. When it comes to the price tag, have a look at what you like so at least you have an idea of what sort of shape and style is current and you like.
Try and look online to get an idea of what’s in the shops you like. Remember with most online website have only a selection but will be a good indication that you are heading to the right place.
Night before – Take tan this is personnel choice but I feel so much better about myself when have tan (fats better brown!)
Right shopping days arrives
Make sure you have the right underwear either on or in a bag and wear the right shoes!! I don’t mean sensible (hell no) but ones that will be similar to what you may wear with your new outfit. Think about it, it could affect the length of your dress!
By this point you should have an idea if where you’re heading. I am a strong believer in don’t buy the first thing you see would you buy a car or house this way NO, look at your options then go back and purchase.

Remember though, have fun if you can rope a nice lunch and glass of wine perfect – but remember one glass you don’t want to make a horrendous choice!
