Shopping Therapy: Buy Less, Choose Well
5 good things to buy right now
Wether you shop online or in the real world, wether you do have money or you don’t, we usually find great joy in spending money in non vital items in the pursuit of our own happiness… or should I say in the pursuit of avoiding all reality?
Most of times, the act of paying is as important as what we get. Which do question the actual need of material things, don’t we rather buy the idea behind the object?
Not to become TOO philosophical but since we live in a capitalism society, let’s just accept the idea we all need a shoot of that adrenaline that is shopping !
However, we do have a responsibility in making shopping I believe more sustainable. Question what you buy, where does it come from, sort your wardrobe, make shopping lists and wait on the idea. Buy less, choose well and make it last !
(The term “Buy Less, Choose Well, Make it Last” was first coined by the iconic fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and has since come to represent a growing movement, where considering what you buy and the story behind your purchase is just as important as the purchase itself)
I do believe it helps us getting through rough times or put ourselves in a positive mindset in order to achieve our life goals. So, my advice would be to wait on the right time, get yourself on a nice shopping date and live the Carrie Bradshaw’s experience once in a while…

Disco Reggae Record Volume 5. This is the latest release on the French label favorite recordings, this compilation gathers disco reggae version of Supernature or Lady Marmelade hits. A perfect soundtrack to extend your summer and fill your playlists, whether to light the dancefloors or just sip a nice cocktail.
Last But Not Least, These Nude Sandals From Gianvito Rossi. I was looking for cosy suede Birkenstocks and saw these cuties ! And because it's winter it doesn’t mean you can’t buy summer shoes right? At least, I’ll have them ready ;)
