Fashion vs Furnishings | 10.22.10


THE CHALLENGE:
Do you save and splurge on your dream bag or
save and splurge on your dream sofa?

  1. Sofa, for sure. Normally I'm not into "masculine" decor, but I love the leather and tufting of a good old, worn in chesterfield!

  2. Oh man, this is a tough one! I'd have to go with purse because I have absolutely no room for the sofa in my tiny apartment. But if I did...

  4. I'll be different, but bag! Leather sofas are not my big loves :)

  5. Oh that is tough. I deal with this all the time. We still have not bought our office desk and bookshelf -most likely b/c I keep buying shoes! I may have to go with the sofa this time.

  6. Oh gosh--this is so tough! I'm going to go with the purse because I live in an itty bitty apartment.

  9. Ooooh, tough one.
    Sofa-no, purse- no, sofa- no, purse....

  10. It has got to be the sofa. To be honest, though, my cats would love to rip either one to shreds! Haha.

  11. The BAG!! OMG! I've been saving my hole life for one of those!!

  12. Oh, the chesterfield is the one thing that can stand up to a Chanel for me! I adore fashion & furniture so this is a common dilemna. I'd save a little for both but will probably cave for the Chanel purse first and wait slightly longer for the sofa. Ending up with both eventually is the plan right?!

  13. Soooo tough. I mean the couch is gorgeous and so much more purposeful. But - it's Chanel! I mean fake life - Chanel purse. Real life - couch. :)

  14. Sofa, hands down. :) It's just way too gorgeous to pass up!

  15. Oh Chanel 2.55, I must choose you. Certainly.

  16. Definitely Sofa! The bag WILL be gifted by those who love you (we hope...hehe).

  17. This is easy, Chanel bag hands down. I adore mine and know that it will be in my wardrobe forever. The sofa, I bet you already have one and it works so a new one can wait, no? Have a great weekend.

  18. what a hard choice -- they're both such classics!!

    I'd have to choose the couch though, only because you can't take a nap in a handbag.

  19. I know what I would *want* to buy, but unfortuantely (or fortunately) I'm not at that part of my life anymore. *sighs* Yep, I is OLD.

  20. ive been going back and forth and still can't make up my mind. probably the purse b/c my 6'5 husband finds any couch less than 7 feet in length 'uncomfortable'.

    ReplyDelete
  21. ah! i would go for the chanel bag, it's so classic you'll have it forever and pass it down to your daughter. you wouldn't pass on the couch. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  22. we have a similar arm chair and I have been lusting the Chanel for ages, so Chanel! Plus I think its cheaper here?!

    ReplyDelete
  23. This is a VERY tough choice, but I'd have to go for the classic Chanel! That brown masculine sofa wouldn't look right in my house. Perhaps if the sofa were white, I'd reconsider...

    ReplyDelete
  24. I got my dream Prada bag instead of a new couch. I say go for the bag, you can carry it around and always feel fabulous.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ha! Great post!
    It's all quite relative.
    In the case of Chanel, you may surprised that the resale value may top that of the sofa, if you wait long enough.
    But then again, after a certain age, the bag splurges get less exciting...trust me.

  26. I think I would have to say the sofa (in a pretty gray... mmm). I love Chanel and appreciate a classic, but I doubt I could look my sweetheart in the eye if I paid that much for a purse that only I get to enjoy :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I would say sofa..but I love handbags..
    However I dont think i would spend that much for either one. :))))

  28. Chanel Bag, no doubt. The sofa doesn't look cozy to me. I can't see myself calling in sick and watching guilty pleasure tv all day on that sofa. ;)
