OK! News: Who Wore It Better? Kylie Jenner or Shay Mitchell?
"Every once in a while, I randomly decide I need to buy myself something super expensive. I can honestly remember every single time I've gone retail crazy. Last week I stopped in Kenneth Cole, turned into Carrie Bradshaw, and bought myself a pair of shoes—I'm not sure I want to admit how much I paid for. They're so gorge, so I totally don't regret it. The perfect addition to my closet."

"I had been wanting a Chanel bag since high school and I finally got up the courage (and sort of the funds) to buy it about a year ago when my friend was working a Chanel sample sale. I purchased the little black one with the C's. Now I only really use the bag when I go have a fancy occasion, but considering I have 5 weddings coming up this summer, I know I'm getting my money's worth."

"My biggest splurge ever was my wedding dress. I've always loved, loved, loved Monique Lhuillier's designs so when I got married I knew I had to wear one of her wedding dresses. I worked my tail off to pay for it but six years later I still think it was worth it!"
