Purses are my drug of choice too. My clothes are from Target, but I love to rock the LV.

Chico's! I can't walk by a store or look at a catalog without it screaming my name. Most days I am a walking advertisement.

For me, it's books and office supplies.
I also like buying blankets, which is sort of bizarre considering I'm always hot and trying to find ways to cool myself down.

purses and for whatever reason...backpacks. Yeah, I don't know either, but I have a gazillion of them in all different colors. DH and I go to amusement parks and hiking and on outings a lot and I always carry a backpack so maybe it's so I'll have one to match any outfit.

Of the three, purses.
It would have been shoes. I LOVE SHOES! There's nothing like a cute pair of shoes. They still make me drool. But, my footwear is quite limited due to a health issue.
Now, purses...it's been a drought for the last year or so, with the exception of a cute little handmade, leather one that I found at a local shop. Honestly, I'm tempted to go back and get the purple one, too. LOL!
I like leather purses. Not interested in designer brands. Don't get me wrong...I've looked at them. But, have yet to find one that interested me. I think that is a good thing.

guilty of all three! I'm just getting in my orders from all the stuff I bought during the 4th of July sales, so far Ive received five pairs of shoes from Cole Hann, two Coach purses -so deeply discounted it would have been nuts to pass up, lol. waiting from several orders from Talbots, one huge order from Old Navy- besides a trip to the store a few days ago for more sale stuff. There's another big order from Simply Be on its way to me, what can I say I love shopping and sales I forgot to mention I also bought a jacket and dress from LaFayette, on sale of course. and another pair of shoes from the Coach sale. I need more closet space, yikes! I just heard Nordstrom's sale starts next week

Poison?
If I had to chose a poison it wouldn't be purses because I HATE THEM! I hate having them in my hand on my shoulder or anywhere near me. I don't like to shop for them and I hate knowing that when ever I leave mine at home my daughter seems to remind me to grab it or she will hand it to me when we are in the car.
I hate clothes and wish we all could go naked. I only shop for clothes when I need them like the last time I bought clothes was because I was going on a trip and didn't have anything to wear that looked nice. I keep it simple and wear black. that way I don't have to deal with bright colors and patterns. I wear shorts and tank tops when I am home. I only wear my nice clothes when I am going someplace so I don't need more than 4 or 5 tops and a few pair of nice shorts(summer) and jeans in the winter.
Now for shoes.
I do have a thing for shoes. Ugg boots are my favorite and I live in mine from the time it gets cold until the time I can put my flip flops back on in the spring. I love flip flops. I wear mens because my feet are wider then womans flip flops and they hurt my feet. I go for comfort more than look. and would wear them year round if I could, I have 2 pair of tennis shoes that I never wear. one is a pair of shape ups that my mother in law gave me. I have only worn them 12 times but I will always keep them. and The other pair are ugly and I got them from my daughter for spin class.
I have a pair of dress boots that lace up and tie but I hardly wear them.
BRING ON THE "FLIP" FLOPS

Earrings. I can never have enough.
Clothes are a close second. I love clothes shopping.
ETA books are tied with earrings. I can't believe I forgot them!!!!

Sadly (or maybe fortunately!!) I was born without a shopping gene. I just very, VERY recently got a small Vera Bradley mini hipster to carry my license, cell phone and a little cash in. For almost my whole life I carried everything I needed in my back pockets . Still, half the time I forget to bring it with me and have to run back in the house for it. As far as shoes go, I have 2 pair of flip flops and 2 pair of Keens (one summer, one winter). That is it... I am a complete shopping/fashion failure.

Digital scrapbook supplies, books, eating out at a cafe whilst I am out shopping. I actually take time out on Thursday evenings and go to Meadowhall - shopping mall - near where I work. Book shop then food court and I'm sorted for a couple of hours. The others at home can fend for themselves on a Thursday. Not the digital scrapbook supplies, but the rest of your post sounds heavenly to me! I love stationary and pens. Always looking for the perfect pen! I am also always on the hunt for the perfect purse (as in wallet). I found an Osprey one a couple of months ago that is almost- but not quite- perfect!

I'm not a big shoe/purse person, but I love clothes and jewelry (costume). And scarves, which I keep buying but rarely wear.

Does buying purses at the thrift store still count? I have five, but that is the most I've ever had at once, so.... But I try to justify it in my mind when I'm only paying between $1.50 & $8 each for them. That's not too bad, is it? My other poison would be scrap supplies. Which I'm currently on a freeze from right now

I love shoes, handbags and jewellery--antique and vintage pieces are my favourites. My engagement ring is made of a vintage emerald cut diamond that is visually flawless. Because it was vintage, dh got a fabulous deal on it. He reset my diamond into an 18k white gold band with a tension set mounting. I also have a few vintage pieces from both of my grandmothers. I inherited my dad's mother's jewel box and all her costume jewellery. My mom hated my granny, so she threw out the box and all the jewellery while I was away at school. Thankfully I kept my favourite pieces of Granny's with me. I inherited Granny's princess ring. My dad saved us his money and bought this ring for his mom when he was six. He didn't realize how expensive the ring was compared to what he saved, but his father paid for the rest. His father died soon after that, so that ring meant so much to Granny and my father. I have such a problem wearing rings because of the swelling in my hands. The sides of the princess ring are beautiful. I'm going to have the shank removed and wear the ring like a pendant. The design of the ring will be more visible, and I'll get a lot more use out of the piece. I have size 10 feet and have always had a hard time finding shoes that fit and are comfortable. I have gotten some great deals on shoes and have shoes for every occasion. My weight fluctuates, so I tend to stay with basics for clothing. I use handbags, scarves/pashminas and shoes to change up my looks. I love handbags. I have been given some nice bags, and I have found a lot of great deals at Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx/Marshalls and outlet stores. I love jewelry as well. You should check out the Purse Forum, and click on the jewelry box. They have some threads in there that feature everyone's diamonds and other pieces. I can stay on there for hours. LOL!

All of the above! If I had to order them it would be : purses, shoes, clothes. I have a major Kate Spade addiction right now. I am a Kate lover as well!

I love books, books and more books. Other than this I buy way too many, "not needed" items for our children.

I'm pretty much going to join up with the scrapbooking crowd on this one.
I probably haven't bought a new purse in a decade. My mom keeps giving me hers when she gets too many.
Every year I buy 2 pairs of shoes. Generally they fit within the following three categories: Brown work shoes, Black work shoes, or Tennis shoes
I have 3 dresses and 2 skirts. I admit to buying them all within the last year. When I lost some weight, I added these to my wardrobe because I didn't have any.
Now, if money were no object, I would totally go wild on jewelry. I adore necklaces. If it looks vintage, I want it! Sadly I have only bought 1 in the last year. It was a perky orange piece of costume jewelry that helped spice up a little black dress.

Let's see, clothes, purses, shoes, make up and funky necklaces and rings. If I had to just pick one, right now it would be clothing. Lost some weight and it was so nice to donate all my old pants. Having too much fun buying the size I am now.

Perfume! And actually, Poison is one of my favourites, lol. I wear perfume every day and it is one of the things I have no problem paying retail prices for.
I do have a lot of purses, shoes, and accessories. Those I get from garage sales though, so I don't spend a lot of money on them. I do not have specific brands or designers for purses that I have to have or put on a wish list or anything. I might look for something similar if I have seen something I like, but won't buy a purse at retail prices.
My shoe size is common so I find lots of like new shoes at yard sales and thrift stores and if I find some that catch my eye at a price I am willing to pay, I buy them.

What's it for you? Clothes? Shoes? Purses? Books! I love the smell and touch of a book. I know there are libraries, but I want to own my books I like clothes and shoes, and do shop for those, but I love buying books.

I would say my priorities for extra spending $ are books, either on iPad or from the bookstore, and travel. But I do like cute clothes, almost always from Target, Maurice's or Loft, so nothing too spendy, and I like to update my purse & jewelry each season, but also inexpensive ones. And if I were wealthy, I'd buy out Sephora and Ulta, both DD15 and I set a spending cap before we enter those stores!
