I know, I know these are just shallow possessions that I can't bring with me in the afterlife. But who doesn't want an LV , a Goyard, Christian Louboutins, Jimmy Choos or a Marc Jacobs, or maybe just obsessing about it at one time in life? Well allow me to be superficial even in my dreams ...

For now I am content with just looking and saliavating for these... Ugh.

Diamonds are gorgeous too; but for some reason I am not that attracted to it. I didn't say I don't like them, ha.

Investment wise, diamonds are better, and lasts forever, but there are a lot of women out there now who are so addicted to bags and shoes that pre-owned stores have proliferated in the last 5 years or so.

In Japan there's Komehyo, 2nd hand Harajaku stores, and in Hongkong, Milan Stations everywhere!

A Tokyo-based research found that more than 94 percent of Tokyo women in their 20s own something made by Louis Vuitton; at least 92 percent have goods from Gucci; nearly 58 percent own a Prada item; and more than 51 percent have something with a Chanel label on it.

But like shoppers everywhere, they love a bargain (even an expensive one), and with a weak yen forcing luxury retailers to raise their prices in Japan, thrifty consumers are increasingly seeking to gratify their craving for conspicuous consumption without paying full price.

For people like me, with no qualms about wearing previously owned clothing, jewelry,bags,etc.., the rise of this kind of store is something that should surely be taken advantage of. But make sure you're getting the REAL deal.
