Shopping Cart Saturdays

I don't know if anyone else does this, but I most certainly do

I think it is formally known as "Shopping Cart Syndrome" 

When you place things in an online shopping cart {or in real life I guess...}

to hold them there to almost feel like you are buying them,

or holding until you purchase.

This will probably be a new segment on Behind The Leopard Glasses, 

especially with my new budget session {aka handing over responsibility of the funds}

there is a lot of shopping cart storage going on, 

One of my biggest shopping carts consistently is my Etsy account,

this is what it currently looks like:

+ even more...

In my shopping cart I want:

Awesome 80s vintage leather red and black queen of hearts loafers {$25}

I want these for Valentines Day... hopefully the hubby is getting them ASAP or after reading this ;)

Leopardskin Jasper Stacking Ring {$23}

Elizabeth Mayville hair art - bun print - "Bun 1" {$20}

Tortoiseshell Watercolor Print {$16}

 Vintage 60s Dark Green Velvet Blouse with Lace Collar {$48}

US State Quarter Rings {$8}

RHvintage HANDMADE Little Scissors Necklace // {$7} 

Pearls and Pastries Glitter glasses "print" {$17}

I am also really CRAVING this bracelet

JewelMint {$30}

Those are all the items that I have stashed away,

hopefully I can convince my hubby to "Place those orders"!

Come back tomorrow for some actual Sunday Shopping! 

replace me

I spent all yesterday interviewing to fill my graduate assistantship position because I will be teaching come September. 

I am pumping up my teaching literature to prepare myself for the chaos that is about to take place. 

Who ever replaces me won't be able to rock this sweet Avalon Collar necklace from Jewelmint:

I came back from interviewing all day to find this on my desk from my peer leader Walter.

He is adorable. 

First teacher memorabilia =)

faves for friday: recent purchases & give-a-way winner!

So I have been celebrating signing my teaching contract with a bit of a shopping spree,

here are my winnings:

Birchboxes from the last couple of months:

July may have been my favorite one yet, big eye liner, lovely perfume & mints that I can't stop eating...

Loving this Essie polish "Penny Talk" it is like a rose gold color, easily one of my favorites: 

New computer case from my future sister-in-law: 

New pants: 

  neon yellow trousers {$50} & pink jeans {$25} from the GAP

Urban Outfitters BDG Embroidered jeans {$80}

Now, this is normally too expensive for a pair of jeans for me but I have been looking everywhere for this style, black jeans, and high waisted jeans. So really this is like three dreams pairs in one. = justified

New tops:

 Saw this top on instagram & new this beauty had to be mine! {$10 from El Vintage}

This elephant top is #1 on my want list- the fiancé is ordering it for me, he is the best =)

Polish boutique {$36}

As I was writing this post I was also stalking Chictopia in hopes of scoring this baby with my Chic Points:

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 

After 5 minutes of refreshing & for 3,600 points, welcome to my closet =)

I also preordered my sorority print from Lilly Pulitzer:

 they will arrive August 15th, just in time for school to start =)

Also made my first JewelMint purchase:

 I have been stalking this collar for a while & it was finally back in stock & I used a 50% off code so it was only like $15! 

Upon arrival at JFK after Mexico my suitcase was a pancake, 

it had completely fallen apart.

I mean it had withstood 2 trips to China, a trip to New Zealand, Italy, 2 trips to Costa Rica, & Mexico

It was past its prime, 

so welcome home to my new suitcase:

It is HUGE, which will save on paying for two checked bags on vacation since it will fit both mine & the fiancés clothes. {Macys $120- early birthday present from parents}

& yes I know I have a shopping problem, but getting packages is the best.

And drum roll please for my Hola from Mexico Give-a-way:

Congrats Frances Blagg, emailing you now! =)
