Where Would I Go on a Shopping Spree? (Spoiler: It’s a Love Letter to Timeless Glamour)

Daily writing prompt

Where would you go on a shopping spree?

View all responses

Let’s be real—if someone handed me an unlimited shopping spree, I wouldn’t waste a single second in a big-box store, stocking up on bulk toilet paper. No, my shopping spree would be the ultimate indulgence, the kind that requires red-bottomed heels, a cappuccino in hand, and the kind of wardrobe choices that scream effortlessly chic but took three hours to curate.

First stop? Paris. Because obviously.

I’m heading straight to the flagship Chanel boutique at 31 Rue Cambon, where the ghosts of couture past whisper style secrets to those who listen (and those willing to max out a platinum card). A classic tweed blazer, quilted handbag, and oversized sunglasses? Oui. A moment to sit on Coco Chanel’s infamous mirrored staircase and pretend I belong there? Double oui.

Then, I’d flit over to Christian Louboutin, because if a shopping spree doesn’t involve a new pair of Louboutins, did it even happen? I’d find the perfect stiletto—something that says I manage music artists by day and break necks with my walk by night. Bonus points if they make me feel like I’m back on a runway, minus the blinding flashbulbs.

But let’s not forget Milan, because no self-respecting fashionista skips Italy when there’s leather involved. Gucci, Prada, and Valentino would see me coming from a mile away. If I’m spending on a spree, I’m investing in the kind of timeless fashion that turns heads and never goes out of style. A perfectly tailored coat, a structured handbag, and a dress that makes people wonder where I’m going would be non-negotiables.

Of course, shopping isn’t just about clothes. I’d dedicate an entire leg of this spree to La Samaritaine’s beauty floor for skincare that promises to freeze time, because let’s be honest, I have a brand to uphold here. Serums, eye creams, and anything that promises radiance like you just walked out of a Parisian spa would find their way into my bag.

Would I stop there? Of course not. There would be vintage finds, exclusive perfume boutiques, and a moment of pause to admire my own impeccable taste in every reflective surface I pass.

A shopping spree isn’t just about buying things—it’s about the experience, the fantasy, and the power of knowing exactly what makes you feel like the best version of yourself. And this? This is my version of luxury, wrapped up in timeless elegance and a touch of indulgent nostalgia.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go manifest this into reality.
