Magazine Shopping




Reading fashion magazines these days might as well be illegal for people with shopping problems like myself. Each entry in Elle magazine makes me feel as if I can afford the most elaborate things. It's like the pages scream "buy me or I will kill you" and of course I don't want to die, so I feel the need to give them a home. Today's pool reading consisted of all the lasted must have trends.


Louboutin Booties, Chanel Dresses, Versace Spring collection, wrinkle prevention creams, $200 dollar Hair Dryers, and my bank accountant overdrafting before I could turn the page. Looking at these items are like having a love affair with fashion. Two years ago I found my beloved Peacock Blue Suede Louboutin Pumps in an Elle magazine which turned into a 6 month search so I could get them for Christmas.



I always wondered why my mom didn't renew my Elle subscription, but I think I understand why. I feel that the first step in recover is admitting you have a problem so here it goes...my name is Nicole, and I am a magazine shopaholic.
