I think choice D is most interesting. but maybe interesting is not the way to go.
Thanks to discover's cash back, Pier 1 store credit is waiting to be used.

Uh Oh

It seems the holiday spirit has taken a toll on my credit cards. You know it's going to be a hard month when you get stressed out about finances on pay day. I woke up this morning with the intent of going to Target to try and find a dark wicker storage stool/box. I decided to check my credit card and checking statements first. Needless to say if I'm going to get a haircut this week, I can't buy ANYTHING. Here's what I want, but can't have...at least until the new year.

I admit it

I have an obsession with shoes. I wish I could have a special account just for the purchase of shoes. Here are some shoes I would buy with that imaginary fund:

Love the wedge.


Couldn't you just see me wearing these with some tight jeans and cute top?

If only I was a secretary.

i love me some gold

My desire for gold jewelry has yet to be fulfilled. If anyone wants to help me fill that void, this might help:


Love it!
Imagine "Mary"


I realize gold is expensive. sigh...

I want

Since it is officially Christmas shopping season, my eyes have been peeled for deals. With that comes an incidental list of my own. I'm off to the mall for Black Friday tomorrow, which I can tell my aunt and sister and cousin don't really want to suffer through. I'm not sure I want to either, but I sort of already committed myself to it. I'm hoping to get most of my christmas shopping done tomorrow. And perhaps buy myself some treats too. Here are some of the items I'll be looking for. for me :) I Really want these boots!!!I also like these shoes my sister has:
Throw in some skinny jeans, that fit short legged folk like myself:

If on my trip to hell (the mall) tomorrow I find something else that catches my eye, I'll be sure to post.

New Watch

I've decided it's okay to spend a lot of money on one nice item each paycheck. Leaving me unable to afford any other nice material object. Seeing how the band of my cute watch from Korea has already ripped, a new watch was a must for this month. I've been wanting a big metal watch for years. I've finally found one that is big enough, light enough, and just feminine enough. Check it out:


You can't see the mother of pearl face as much, but I love it.
I wonder what I'll get next month!?!

bathroom quandary

I'm one of those that likes to buy new things instead of cleaning old ones. Yes, I'm a wasteful consumer. But it gives one a chance to reinvent their habitat every once in a while. Today's focus: the bathroom. Out with the blue bathmat stained with hair dye.
In with the new:




I then realize that my new bath mat does not match the tumbler, jar, and wastebin of yore. In fact the seashell and seagrass embossed bath ensemble MUST go. What follows is an exhaustive search of Bed Bath and Beyond, Ross, Marshalls, Target, and Cost Plus to find the right bathroom accessories.
I've got it narrowed down to two possibly three options, maybe four.


Option 1: medium wood paired with glass jars
Option 2: latte bamboo set from West Elm
Option 3: espresso bamboo set from West Elm
I can't decide.

On the Hunt

for gold jewelry. So far, I've discovered gold is extremely pricey and simple design in this medium is not easy to come by. On the hunt I stumbled upon this website with some cool finds. like these. But zippergifts.com isn't just cute jewelry, lots of random finds await you. Ch ch ch check it out.

A Website Dedicated to the Positive

This will be a place I can share with you all the things I love, from shampoo and sneakers, to friends and experiences. Don't think I'm too superficial when you see a bunch of materialistic posts. :)
