I like a woman who takes care of herself, and that includes ascessories. Granted it has taken me awhile to swallow how much those handbags costs!!
I've heard one female acquaintance of mine coin the phrase "bags of happiness" after a particularly successful and expensive shopping trip. And its true - get you lady friend a suitably expensive hand bag of her choice (Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs ,Fendi, Louis Vuitton) and she will be very happy indeed. And I'll admit (dirty dog that I am) that it has gotten me laid in the past, although I've had to eat out of the trash for the next three months on account of being broke as a joke!
Girls and handbags - its just one of those things that us guys have to accept, even if we never understand it.
