M: What the what!
A: I know! It’s kind of mean though, because what can you get at Barneys for $100?
A: Maybe sneakers?
M: Oh I could find some stuff. There’s no minimum?
A: Nope
M: Still I bet there’s a great white t-shirt you’d never spend that much on.
M: Ooh, that’s an idea
A: Options I thought of - fancy candles, sneakers, an overpriced but wicked cute Comme des Garcon striped shirt
M: Ooooh fancy candles.
A: So many fancy candles!
M: I’m a garbage person and I’d totally buy a fancy candle or two.
A: But the ones I love best are $200+ which is INSANE. IT’S A CANDLE.
M: Shit
A: But they have Diptyque which are lovely and reasonably priced by Barneys standards
M: How is Barneys still in business.
M: ANYWAY here’s a fine t-shirt but a candle may bring you more joy:
M: Unlike this which is SOLD OUT other than a size zero so:
A: Haaaaa
A: I’m going to do more looking around. My favorite was a cotton bralette for $90.
M: No no no
M: I mean I like this for like $20:
A: Yeeeeah
A: My other fav was…wait. I just need to show you:
M: Haaaaaa
M: I’ll make you that
A: It legit makes me sad that some dumb rich person would spend $85 on an #OMG paperweight.
M: GIRL!
A: Have it already!
M: Ha of course
A: This feels like a challenge.
M: I’m up for it
A: 😭
M: Fornasetti is a lie
M: Don’t do it
A: Oh, it’s too expensive - I would never!
M: Pretty tho
A: I mean, it can’t smell that great.
M: Nah it’s just for the container and even then its screen printed not hand painted.
A: Pshhhh
M: Just sayinnnnng I love Fornasetti but it kind of pisses me off.
A: No, you’re right, that’s ridiculous.
A: I’ll probably just buy a couple of Diptique candles after I obsess endlessly about the different scents.
M: That’s what I would do.
A: I mean, Basic Blogger for sure, but they feel fauncee and I’d never spend that on candles IRL.
M: I really love a fancy af candle.
This last October I stayed in a a gorgeous Air BnB in Naples Italy that had the odd Fornasetti tile dotted about the kitchen on the walls and floor, and I have been wanting to buy one little Fornasetti thing since then as a kind of souvenir. I *almost* bought a candle and then regained my sanity at the last minute. I also partially blame Kim France and her Fornasetti obsession. My reasoning on the candle was that the vessel could be somewhat useful after the candle was gone, but who am I kidding?
ReplyDeleteIt's totally Kim France's fault! I just think they're weird and cool and beautiful but ugh, I cannot spend that much on a candle even with a $100 discount. Sigh.
DeleteHere I sit fretting over spending $20 on my favorite Paddywax pomegranate and spruce candle. But I tried their Target line and the scent was gone in a day and it was still $14.99 for a 2 oz. candle.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's definitely worth spending the extra $5 on the candle you already love!
