Once I manifested my desire to get a Cartier Love bracelet, it lost sense to me.
Like, when I was a poor teenager, I was obsessed with Cartier Love. It was a symbol of an eternal love and material prosperity to me. I even got Cartier Love ad as my laptop wallpaper.
I just never thought I would be actually even close of getting it. It was a motivator, a symbol. It made me work hard.
But now I don’t work.
I am happily married.
My husband has already promised me Cartier Love as a new year gift.
And I know he’ll deliver.
But.
All this time I did not wanted Cartier Love itself.
I wanted the love, the prosperity, the guarantees that everything gonna be ok. I imagined that once I get this bracelet, nothing bad will ever happen to me. It’s like an amulet from poverty and all the bad stuff in life.
But in fact.
You just pay enormous amount for a piece of gold.
And this piece is not even covered with anything keeping it from scratching.
That’s it. The piece of gold = $2k
and a beautiful marketing story behind it = $5k.
And you know what? I am wise enough not to pay for words. For fairytales marketers tell us.
Goodbye, Cartier Love dream.
This day feels almost like the day when I discovered there’s no Santa Claus at all.

karlie kloss posted a photo of her covering her eye with a blue tea cup that taylor had gifted her via instagram: "Fancy a spot of tea? ☕️".
she geotagged the picture in london, meaning she brought the tea set (below) overseas with her
