I was with Mich the other day and we were happily shopping around, letting ourselves sink into the air of luxury goods.... It was Coach, Lv, Loewe, Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Dior etc...
Yum!!
I must agree with Mich about the idea of "Materialism is the new religion". No matter how much I try to deter this ideology it seems to be creeping into our lives slowly and unknowingly.
I was asked, "Are you materialistic?" My first reaction was to say "NO" because the word materialistic is not a very nice word to be associated with. Its more or less like a stereotypical view of people who are materialistic to be good-for-nothing and probably gonna ruin the family name or something...
Ask me again, "What makes you sure that you are not materialistic? And hey! What's wrong with being materialistic?" Now, this get me thinking. True enough, what's wrong with being materialistic? There is nothing wrong to indulge yourself with luxury items so long as you have the means to do so. Afterall, luxury goods has become something to represent status and wealth more than then lux factor.
So, I admit I am a material girl. You should think that its nothing wrong for me to be materialistic but I tell you, there is a very wrong thing about me being materislistic. It is that I don't have the financial ability to do so! LOL!! Whatever it is, nothing is stopping me from all those materials of desire...
There are so much that this "new-religion" has got to offer.... I don't know about you, but I simply can't resist.
