Here’s $1000 For You

Happy Wednesday, ladies, and April Fool’s Day!

How’s the week been for you? Played any pranks on your family/friends/colleagues today? I remembered playing my very first joke on April Fool’s Day, when I was in Primary One. I told a girl who was sitting in front of me that a lizard has fallen on her back from the ceiling. She screamed bloody murder, and I got told off by the teacher. Okay, it was a lame joke, I know, but I was only 7, for heaven’s sake ๐Ÿ˜›

Anyway, that aside, let’s head to my question for the day. This should be interesting – If you were given $1000, what is the first thing you’d buy? You can choose from either clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, makeup, skincare products, etc. Just for fun, you’re not allowed to save the money. To stimulate the economy (I always get tickled by the words “stimulation package”. Tee hee hee!), you have to spend it all. What would you buy?

As for me, hmm … I have to say that this is a hard one. I could either splurge it all on one item, or a lot of cheaper items. I won’t be able to buy the beautiful Chanel 2.55 though, as it wouldn’t even be enough. Dammit.

I’d be very boring and say that I’d be stocking up on the skincare items I’m using. Keep them in the refrigerator so that they’d last longer. Maybe get myself a Coach bag to satisfy my bag-junkie urges. And maybe a couple of pairs of come-do-me heels. Oooh and maybe a tennis bracelet!

Oh hang on. The last item just blew it all, didn’t it?

What about you? Here’s your $1000. Go crazy ๐Ÿ˜‰

Update: To make it easier for everyone, it’s US$1000. That’s a lot of greens ๐Ÿ˜€

    eh remember that soft pink one we saw in the Chanel window when we had our drinks a few weeks ago?! THAT ONE! THAT ONE! THAT ONE! I WILL BUY THAT ONE!

    Now, where’s my $1000?!

  2. ParisB

    $1000 in which currency? That’s what I’d ask before I decide because US$1000 might be enough to get me something from Chanel or at least a Dior Lady bag and matching accessories perhaps? ๐Ÿ™‚ A$1000 may get me just the Dior Lady bag or maybe not – I haven’t checked the prices and RM1000 … I’ll just blow it all on… wait RM1000 hardly gets me anything ๐Ÿ˜›

    Hmm, I would treat my family and friends and probably buy a nice Chanel bag too! Hmmmm..go on vacation! visit you there..ugghhhhh…I think $1,000 is not enough hahahha

  4. Catherine

    LOL… man, $1000 is not enough for all I want to do, lol. I need speakers, keyboard, an external monitor and a USB hub for my laptop… I’d like to take a nice weekend vacation w/ SO, and treat my friends to a fancy dinner out, and probably get myself a new bronzer and a couple lipsticks… and a few more Zoya polishes, but I don’t think $1000 would stretch that far. LOL.

  5. Jenn

    Hmmm… good question!! I’ll probably get the LV Epi Leather Speedy 25 that i’ve been lemming for! Either that, or i’ll go on a crazy shopping spree for clothes and makeup and shoes! ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. Eliza

    for $1000, its a lot for a college student like me. I could buy lots of different eyeshadow that would last me quite long? high-end product of that always wanted to try but couldn’t XD ? Many…….just could do wonders with US$1000…….hahahahaha

  7. Jess

    Haha… funny! :p
    Uhmm.. the first thing I would buy?

    A watch! Because I’ve be wanting a new one for long time now… maybe a Longines? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    And the rest (if there is a rest) I’d spend for cosmetics, hihi…

  8. Renee

    A brand new wardrobe …. I think I’m OK with makeup but boy do I need help in the fashion department! ๐Ÿ˜›

  9. Connie

    Wait, what currency are we talking about here? US dollars or Aussie dollars?

    I’d buy me some clothes (I practically have nothing much to wear d), buy cosmetics that I could never willingly afford… and that’s all. Maybe have a decent meal. $1000 isn’t a lot these days!

  10. Indulgent Diva

    $1,000? Hmm…Should I get myself one item from Dior or Chanel? or should I be satisfied with a few pieces from Zara? or perhaps a week’s vacation to Fiji or Mauritius? Will the $1,000 stretch that far?
    Sigh…choices! I think I’d take a week’s vacation! I need it more than anything right now!!!
