I love to shop. Times have been good and I have enjoyed spending my single woman's salary on shoes and handbags, among other things. I can't help myself when I find a good deal or see a coupon and always buy things I don't honestly need. I can't explain it - I just have to have it.

Many people ask me why I'm selling my never-used bags. It may help to have an understanding of just how many bags I have due to this addiction:

Balenciaga:

• '05 Sky Blue first (wishlist - will have it soon!)
• '06 Ink First
• '06 Origan Twiggy
• '08 Turquoise First

Chloe:

• Large Bay patent Satchel
• Anthracite Paddington
• Black Bay bag

Gerard Darel:

• 4 x 24 heures bags (black, taupe, gold, tan)

Gucci:

• 1 Abbey Hobo
• 1 vintage Doctor's bag

Louis Vuitton:

• 1 Horizontal Monogram Canvas Batignolles

Mulberry:

• 2 Spazzalato Bayswaters
• East-West Spazzalato Maggie
• Polished Goatskin Maggie
• Darwin Tooled Bayswatter
• 2 Somerset totes
• Darwin Emmy
• Darwin Kensington
• black Mabel
• vintage Reptile bucket
• vintage Reptile clutch/evening bag

As you can plainly see, I have more bags than any sane person needs and cannot possibly use them all. I still buy - not for any logical reason, but because I just love them. I have many more that are not brand name or high-end that I haven't even listed. I sometimes sell the ones that I don't use (or have never used!).

In addition to the above, I have more than 200 pairs of shoes. Admitting that I have a problem is the first step in the right direction... right?
