The Party Pooper

Here's a normal scenario at the shop: Two good friends out on the town shopping together. Spending a lovely afternoon in Gamla Stan, browsing through some random shops on their weekend visit to Stockholm. Maybe stopping by a café to relax those tired feet afterwards.

One of them spots the store and decides to enter. We say hello, greet each other, all is fine and dandy. The more upbeat of the two finds lots of nice and fun things, like a bag made out of cork or a beautiful dress with thousands of stones. She's really excited and while you'd think that her friend should be happy for her, she isn't! Here's what she says: that bag/dress/shoes/jacket is not practical.

I HATE THAT PHRASE!!

Not everything in life has to be practical! Yeah, if you're shopping for hiking gear or gym wear - I get it. Sometimes the prettiest things aren't useful or practical at all, but that doesn't mean they're not essential for our well-being. Think about that. How boring life would be if we all wore ecco shoes and cargo pants everyday.



Now these shoes are super useful. You can display your pikachĂș as well as store your gameboy. You'll never need a hand bag again. Dare I guess that the designer is Japanese..?
