Hey big spender

For trophy wives, Christmas is that special time of the year where they get to exercise their full prerogative to purchase ridiculously lavish gifts:

A report from In Touch Weekly claims that Katie got into the holiday spirit with a festive lunch with girlfriends — and a $100,000 shopping spree!…….The mag claims Katie’s gift buying binge included a $30,000 rose-gold Cartier wristwatch.

“She’s rich now, so money was really no object and Katie never once looked at a price tag,” a chatty insider tells the magazine.In addition to the expensive watch, Katie bought Tom a black Giorgio Armani suit for $5,400, Gucci snakeskin sneakers for $990, a Prada ski coat for $1,395 and four pairs of Barker Black handmade English shoes at $825 each. Afterward, Katie hit the Loro Piana department and loaded up on everything cashmere, including a $9,000 overcoat, a $2,995 car coat, a $4,495 leather and cashmere jacket and six V-neck sweaters in various colors at $1,350 each.

Tom wasn’t the only one on her list: Katie also dropped nearly $5,000 on dresses and clothes for her 20-month-old daughter, Suri.

What a bargain haul, and all without racking up a huge credit card bill! It’s amazing what an oversized handbag and two deep pockets full of crisp Benjamins will get you nowadays.
