I'm a sloth and I mean a SLOTH. I can spend the entire day lounging around in pyjamas and daydreaming about ... guipure lace Thea dress by Stella McCartney (it's a die-for this autumn). Anyway, these days are so rare I can't even remember when was the last time I was "slothing" . What's more, new attacks of do-nothingism vanish when I get this consuming mood.

I'm not a shopaholic. I don't shop for therapy (I eat more deserts instead ). But I'm the worst kind of shopper. I'm an impulse shopper. I see something I like (like is the key word here, not really need) and I must have it right away. Or even worse: I do last-minute shopping when I do need things. My vacation is in two weeks but I haven't got myself a new swimsuit yet. I keep putting it off. Why? If you're not Monica Bellucci, buying a swimsuit can be quite depressing sometimes.

Buying jewellery is a completely different story. The choice here also depends on your complexion and body type but it's not so 'restricted' by your physique. My personal preferences are floral patterns and designs. They are never out of style. And the variety they come in is just terrific. You can always find something for any season, all year around. So next time you're planning to buy something you really have to buy but you don't really enjoy the experience you're going through, leave room for dessert – buy jewellery once you've made all major purchases.

Shopping doesn’t have to be a torture. Not always though:
Carrie: "Honey, if it hurts so much, why are we going shopping?"
Samantha: "I have a broken toe, not a broken spirit!"
