Desires....

As the quest continued, I brought my friend to the infamous Galeries Lafayette and Printemps on the right bank. Amazing how many people were there during the mid afternoon. Besides tourists as the majority, there were a lot of French speakers which popped up some questions in my head..."They don't have to work?? or these women are the housewives? They called in sick? These young people don't have school?..." The scene was so chaotic, like people were lining up for some freebies, the queues at the fitting room were almost impossible to wait. OK it was a bit exaggerating but though not that long, it did require a high patience to be able to try anything on.

I'm not a brand addict though I couldn't help drooling over a few things...like bags from Chloé and Balenciaga or shoes from Tod's, Dries Van Noten and Marni. Weird though that once I have my mind fixed on these things, I've lost my appetite for anything else, when the most favorite things I like to consumer are clothes.

This reminds me of one quote I came across...

"Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not." - Oscar Wilde

Salute to Oscar Wilde ;p
