Enjoy!

I’m going to tell you my 10 RULES
for making excellent purchases:

1. Only MASTERPIECES!

2. Not buy USELESS stuff.
They are like the exotic SOUVENIRS,
that when you return from the trip,
encumber and ruin
the aesthetics of your house.

3. Point your FAV PIECE
like your BIG LOVE.
Stay posted to the window,
follow the customers’ movements,
wait the first day of sales.

4. Buy only COLLECTOR’S ITEMS
out of the ordinary:
otherwise you will get the nth black coat!

5. Don’t go RANDOMLY,
you’ll spend more energy and money.

6. Take your WISH-list MAP.

7. Give yourself a BUDGET
and follow your WISH-list priorities.

8. Don’t get DUPED by sales:
They are like the beautiful mermaids
of PIRATES of the CARIBBEAN 4.
First seduce you and then drag you
to the bottom of the sea.

9. Buy only DESIGNER’S clothes.
Why? high-quality is guaranteed.

10. Not fly commercial!
Take the chance to go in the FORBIDDEN
stores and satisfies all your WHIMS!”
