Lush Oceanic jacket, $298 from Lush, 116 Greville Street Prahran. Tel: 9525 0166
It’s amazing the kind of excuses you’ll make up to justify a purchase. For example, my friend decided she ‘needed’ a new jacket to wear when she goes shopping in Paris next month. I really wanted to explain to her that she’ll find lots of beautiful things over there but I was too busy cleaning the house before the cleaner arrived.
