Maggie Alderson is a firm believer in heaven - handbag heaven that is. Why else would finding a vintage Kelly bag seem like a blessing and resisting that Jamin Puech bag feel so hellish? In this witty and irreverent book Maggie Alderson guides you through not only the perils of shopping but also everyday life, explaining among other things why even the smallest clothing purchase is a major life decision, and why Buddha was right when he said 'the root of all suffering is desire' . . . especially when it comes to Ricky Martin.

"Just one more chapter..."

Although I think it's like a box full of chocolates. Maybe one shouldn't eat the entire thing in one go.

But it was fun, and I wasn't too embarrassed to be reading a fashion book in my mis-matched pajamas with messy hair and bright orange hippo slippers. (I'm sure Maggie has a pair of bright orange hippo slippers somewhere. No?) ( )
