Lindsey Vonn talks about shopping habits

In 2015, almost four years before she bid farewell to her competitive career, the skiing icon talked to Wall Street Journal about everything Lindsey Vonn. She also opened up on her guilty pleasures and how she celebrates her victories on the slope.

“I splurge on: purses and shoes. It’s a problem. If I win twice in one weekend or I have good race weekends back-to-back, I buy myself something and it is usually shoes or a purse. I love Louis Vuitton–we have the same initials,” Vonn claimed.
