I waited nearly 5 years for a pair of shoes.

And more than 3 years for the bag I got yesterday and I LOVE it!

Right now, I need never buy another thing ever again Grin

Let's have a look then!

chanie44 · 19/09/2014 15:46

I love that feeling, OP.

I've started starting saving up for an 'expensive for what it is item' myself.

PenisesAreNotPink · 19/09/2014 15:49

It's a grey Anya Hindmarch Maxi Zip bag - it fits perfectly over my shoulder and I luffs it lots Grin

I've had the style on permanent watch on EBay for years and have bid dozens of times for them always to go over 280.

I'm so squeeeeeeee Grin

PenisesAreNotPink · 19/09/2014 15:53

America eventually

Just googled. Gorgeous bag. The grey is a great choice too.

I was like this about a Pearl Lowe for Peackcocks black lace dress from about 3-4 years ago. Missed it online and stalked Ebay for at least a year until I got it in the two different sizes I fluctuate between Grin

AmberNectarine · 19/09/2014 17:55

I just got Rockstuds last week. Am so happy!

ScooseIsLoose · 19/09/2014 18:21

Rub it in amber why don't you Envy are they comfortable(ish)? I do love them so

catacats · 19/09/2014 18:28

I have that very same bag in grey op and I absolutely luffs it, am just about to take it out of its dust bag for the autumn. Like you I waited almost three years for it managing to get it from the outnet best birthday present ever!

ScooseIsLoose · 19/09/2014 18:43

I am loving this at the moment too but the big plaque puts me off this is a bit more within my reach seriously considering it Grin

poorbuthappy · 19/09/2014 18:46

Am going to buy a Marc Jacobs bag tomorrow with my birthday money tomorrow whilst in London.
So excited!!!!!

poorbuthappy · 19/09/2014 18:47

So didn't click in that link until after I posted my message!!!! Ha ha!

ScooseIsLoose · 19/09/2014 18:50

Yay poor hope you love whichever one you choose it's my birthday on December and I'm seriously considering pooling my money together to buy this one I love it

PenisesAreNotPink · 19/09/2014 21:56

That Marc Jacobs bag is nice Scoosels - I think the plaque will be less annoying in real life as it's not touching you being at the front

Nice grey too

I have the primark rockstuds :o

Pollywallywinkles · 19/09/2014 22:04

Sometimes you only have that feeling until the next thing but sometimes not.

I got my dream bag for my last birthday, which was a significant one...I've not lusted after a bag since.

Enjoy the moment whilst it lasts.

ScooseIsLoose · 20/09/2014 00:46

I'm getting it pink decided it's a must!

ScooseIsLoose · 20/09/2014 00:48

Me too polly my mum bought me my dream bag for my 30th 2 years ago which was an oversized mulberry alexa it cosy near a grand and I'm scared to use it half the time the mj will be a more everyday bag

FruitBasedDrinkForALady · 20/09/2014 00:54

I got a fantastic leather jacket for my birthday this year. I've wanted one for at least 10years but didn't want to get it until I was a size 12 (not the 14-20 I was during those years). And now I have it and I want it to be winter so I can wear it all the time... I want to wear it to bed and every day for the rest of my life and be buried in it. I luff, luff, luff it!

AmberNectarine · 20/09/2014 08:17

I've got the flat ones Scoose, they are really comfortable!

poorbuthappy · 21/09/2014 21:35

I failed spectacularly at selfridges today.
Marc Jacobs just didn't do it for me.

So am now saving for something else.
What else? Not a clue. Shock

Drywhiteplease · 21/09/2014 22:51

OP that's such a great feeling and a great bag too.
I get inordinately excited about stuff. I saved up for a Gucci Disco bag earlier this year and chuckled to myself like a mad woman on the train home after I'd bought it Grin

MarshaBrady · 21/09/2014 22:53

Lol at Dry

It does give me a dizzy happy spell. And I also remember the first time I bought something like that in Italy when I was 22. Actually I remember all the light headed buys (well nearly)
