All I want for Christmas is Betsey

I love Betsey Johnson. It doesn't really matter what it is that has her name on it, I'm most likely going to want it. I guess there's certain exceptions, like when there's a pair of shoes that are a bit too quirky for me, or a purse that just isn't me. Though I don't like them, I still consider making a purchase. 

Why? There's something about Betsey's products that I just love! The colours she uses, the fabrics, the designs, and frankly, pretty much everything. Its kind of like the brand was made exactly to how I would design a fashion line. Tailor made for Meaghan. Everything is so unique compared to many other brands that I also like, which makes all her products stand out over all the rest. I can always tell when a products hers before I confirm with a logo or price tag. 

Every time I go to Winners I keep an eager eye out for anything and everything Betsey. Last time I was there, I was looking for clutches for a wedding I was attending last week. Looking through the racks, I saw one that really caught my eye. It took me a few seconds to realize that it was, of course, Betsey's. It was, however, $90 for a clutch that I probably wouldn't use too often, and money that I could probably use better somewhere else (like rent...). Sadly, yet smartly, I returned it to its place.

Even though it was $90 for a small purse, it was a hard decision to not make the purchase. I proudly display the one and only shopping bag I got from a real Betsey Johnson store, in my room. Her products are usually on the expensive side, unless I can score a deal at Winners.

There is no doubt in my mind that I would choose a Betsey product over many others. Whether it be similar products, with similar looks, Betsey would always be the number 1 choice for me. I go out of my way every time I am in another city to find her boutique stores (as Ottawa isn't lucky enough to have one), usually just to look around.

I've already told my boyfriend that a want a real Betsey Johnson purse for Christmas. Not a Coach, or Prada, or anything along those lines. I want one I can't find at Winners. One that he'll have to travel to Holt Renfrew for, or buy online. One that's going to cost him over $200. Its a little outrageous, I know, but I'll be ecstatic for it.

I'm Meaghan Baskin, and I'm addicted to everything Betsey Johnson. And I hope this doesn't make me seem crazy...
