It’s finally happening! I have to stop buying clothes because my life and wardrobes are overflowing. I have taken over two rooms at home and it’s pretty jigsaw puzzle chic, if you ask me. That being said, I’m certain I can’t get a third room all to myself, so I need to freeze on buying garments. Don’t worry, I’ve started filling the void and am splurging on home decor and lots of jewellery. Can you tell that cross-addiction is a speciality of mine?
The latest, among my somewhat sound decisions, is to start a savings account for the Cartier Love Bracelet. Some of you guys might think I have a princess lifestyle but I can’t help if I like nice things — so I’ll just run with it. Your faith in my bank account will probably keep me cozy at night while my daily expenses get so inflated that I’ll have to sleep in a bus terminal for a month or something. Sigh… It’ll all be worth it by then because I’ll have a beautiful bracelet to keep me nice and warm! (Huge shoutout to mom and dad for giving me food and shelter — thanks guys!)
Moving on; these have been around since 1969, and come with a handy screwdriver to lock the bracelet on and off. As the story goes, they could only be purchased by couples who would surrender the screwdrivers to each other. Yada yada, things have changed and now practically anyone with a spare couple of thousand dollars can lock themselves in the confines of Cartier.
Can I sign up for this? I’d wear it with everything. In fact, I’d live in this bracelet. I would find a shrinking machine to make myself even smaller — fit a marble staircase with a tiny chenille couch and make this bracelet my home.
OH AND the promo ads shot for the collection are just so wonderful. There’s this beautiful background music, and model almost looks like she has a tiny little moustache, that looks gross (and creepy) on a man but looks so elegant on her. I feel myself getting into another highly questionable beauty dare. Who knows, I’m so overwhelmed! At this point, I’d fall for almost anything Cartier sells to me.
While we are at this — should I open another savings account for a vintage cashmere Burberry scarf? Are any of you guys bankers who can double up my money??? Tell me what you think! This is fun, I enjoyed telling you all of this and dreaming about the bracelet and other pretty things. I hope you took delight in it like I did. I like you guys, I think you’re all very fun. Fun like the Cartier Love Bracelet.
