what I bought

September Budget

Fashion•Shopping

  I had to be good this month because we’re moving, and I’m saving up for a new computer! With extra expenses and moving costs, I didn’t leave a lot of room in my budget, yet I did want to check out the new Target collection, so I added a couple new pieces to my wardrobe. 1. Blue Patterned Crepe Blouse, Adam Lippes for Target – $29.99 2. Long Layering Plaid Vest, Adam Lippes for Target – $39.99 3. Leopard Heels, Dolce Vita – $24.99 Total: $94.97 Lately, I’ve really been focusing on cost per wear. In fact, I...

July Budget

Shopping

I can’t believe it is the end of July already!!!!!! I wasn’t planning on buying too much in July except for shopping in New York, but as you can see above, that was not the case. I won an American Express gift card as a part of being a grand prize winner, so my budget was a little higher this month than normal. In fact, I didn’t really set a budget, just went in with the idea that I might spend more than normal but didn’t want to go too crazy. The gift card is now being used for...

May Budget

Shopping

Before I get into my horrible spending habits this month, let me tell you how I feel right now as I’m putting this post together (in gif form of course): Up until this month, I have stuck to my budget… well for the most part (a couple months I was over oh by $20 at most)? This month shame shame I am over by about $80. Which is almost as much as I set my budget at. Excuse me while I give myself a dirty look. My fault, I know, but still. Old habits die hard I guess. Let’s...

December Budget

Fashion•Shopping

Although I’ve been trying to do a better job of budgeting, I just can’t help myself around the holidays! Thanks to Santa, I had a bit more spending money and thanks to the awesome sales, I ended up with three new pairs of boots, a new pair of neutral heels for work, a lovely pair of emerald earrings and a faux leather navy skirt (both on my Christmas Wishlist seen here)

Recent Purchases

Accessories

I don’t think anyone would be surprised to know that my recent purchases included Lia Sophia jewelry after hosting a party.  The reason I wanted to share this with you was to let you know how great of a deal you can get on the jewelry line if you host your own party! It is easy, all you do is find a consultant in your area, set up a time, theme and invite your friends, co-workers, neighbors, whoever you’d like! They bring some of their jewelry from the line to share and there is no pressure to buy anything....
