What credit card brings to us

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

In those days, two workers of a bank went to our office and advise us to transact its credit card which can get discount when using it in the shopping mall. Nowadays, credit card seems to be necessary part of most people. One of my colleagues said that she has 4 credit cards of different banks.

 

This may be the display of over consuming. We have to admit that overconsumption is now very popular. For ladies, they love luxuries very much and credit card can help them to buy what they want, like designer handbags, perfumes, Christian louboutin shoes, etc. I am not very fond of overconsumption; however, I still transact me a credit card because I think it can help me when I am in need of money. Actually, I am thinking of buying something I love with credit card, Such as my beloved handbags before I receive my salary. Credit card, to some extent, improved the consumption of citizens, however, from an irrational way, in my mind. Last month, I used my credit card and bought a pair of Christian louboutin shoes, I was so happy at that time. However, I have to pay my bill this month and more than half of my salary is gone. It is not as excited as that time I bought them. I want to buy a designer handbag this month to match my clothes. But I cannot afford one. I have to shop online to find something cheaper. I love Chanel very much. And I do find Chanel handbag cheap online. I judged the situation now and decide to this cheap Chanel handbag.

 

Now I am thinking of buying designer things with credit card, I think that is quite irrational. Although we can buy what we want at that time, but the money we spend doesn’t belong to us that time. We have to pay more to afford what we want if there is not enough money to repay to banks. I reckon that to but Chanel cheap handbag might be a good choice.

I am interested in the new phenomenon that online shopping for replicas are popular. so I open this blog to express my views on this situation.

Online shopping is like a modern dream

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

When I was a child, I used to enjoy browsing shopping catalogues. I’d start at the beginning, with the make-up and jewellery sections, working out what I wanted. Sometimes, my younger sister would join me, and we’d end up arguing over who was allowed to own which imaginary items.

I still love catalogues. I still love ogling potential possessions. Recently, my friend returned from Bristol with a furniture catalogue from a large store. Living in Cornwall, these large shops are both novel and aspirational. We have the Cornish version, Trago Mills, which somehow doesn’t live up to my idea of aspirational shopping.

Having said this, I think you can tell a lot about someone’s social status from their home interior aspirations. This doesn’t mean, given the money, I wouldn’t be tempted by an expensive makeover. However, I like an edge of reality to my daydreaming. On my budget, cheap Swedish furniture may be as good as it gets. But at least I know where to find furniture.

Online shopping is the modern day equivalent of catalogues. I can spend hours browsing page after page of desirable objects, and then, even better, I can log onto price comparison sites and get the best possible deal. I can find a wealth of information and reviews on everything I might possibly want to buy. Depending on how much time I want to invest in research, I know I can find the best possible product, at the best possible price.

Another advantage to shopping online is there are no people. I am a single mother and I don’t have much spare time. Shopping online means I both avoid toddler tantrums, and is quicker, so I get more time to socialise with the people I want to see, and have time to treat myself to luxuries such as manicures and massages.

I also have more control when I shop online, I spend less money. Whilst I have made my fair share of impulse purchases, mostly bargains on online auctions, I am less likely to be drawn into expressing a need for random articles. In shops, I can convince myself I can’t live without an unnecessary item, but online, I seem to have more sense. In shops, I get caught up with the lights and the psychology. I know I shouldn’t, but I seem not to be able to help myself, and always end up spending at least thirty pounds more than I intended.

I still love catalogues. I love the smell of a new catalogue, waiting to be opened, the pages almost sticking together in their newness. However, I also know a large part of this love is due to nostalgia, and given the choice, I’d opt for online shopping every time.

However, I’d be lying if I said I still didn’t enjoy the daydreaming aspect, and some of the time I save in regular purchases is still spent browsing sites, and making mental shopping lists of things I would buy if I had the money. Send gifts and flowers online through ferns and petals
