Ok, with literally days left until the big 3-0 I’m slowly ticking away at my 30 Under 30 list.  Now for Number 29:  I think this is quite possibly the MOST exciting number on the list.  Well, except for maybe Number 1– Get Married — obviously.  Number 29 is Buy Myself One Luxury Item.  So the reason for this self-giving is not just because I’m incredibly fond of myself and wish to give myself a great birthday gift . . . well, it is all those things but the real reason is this:  I spent most of my twenties studying.  First undergrad, then my master’s degree, then law school.  I was always a full-time student and when I wasn’t studying I was the low-man-on-the-totem pole type thing.  Every nice thing I own is a product of a gift from someone else (I love the Jimmy Choos Pete and the Coach watch is amazing Mom & Dad).  So this gift to myself is really about stepping into the next phase of my life, my thirties, with more stability and with that comes the ability to splurge a little on myself and not be as dependent upon other people.

All that being said, I’m sure you are just dying to know what I got, right!?  Well, here it is:

What’s that sound you ask?  Oh those are just the angels signing.  Ahhhhhhhhhh!

I fell in love with this Kate Spade handbag.  Its so gorgeous!  Plus its my favorite color-pink!  Although it also came in a turquoise or a yellow and it was a really difficult choice.  But in the end the pink won out.
L.O.V.E.

I even love the bag it came in! 🙂  Kate Spade New York- you made my 30th!!

Readers, do you have an item that you bought for yourself that means a lot to you?
