Ring by Cartier... Yes, that's 68,800 euros. Using today's exchange rate, that's $112,790. The good news is, that includes tax!
Shopping on the "Right Bank" along Faubourg St. Honore, the intimidation factor is huge. Security guards at the doors, museum quality displays and lighting, everything thick with the smell of money. But why go in when you can look in the windows for free?
Total cost of outfit and accessories (including shoes), 16450 Euros
Total cost of outfit, 18,000 Euros. That includes the $14300 Python purse.
This bargain Chanel ensemble will only set you back 12,100 Euro ($19,800)
These are all hot off the runway for Chanel's winter collection 2009, I know this because one of the only english TV channels we get is the Haute Fashion Network. Believe me, they are stunning in person (well, through the window!)
