current desires

Here are a couple of things I just discovered & can't get enough of:

I love this girl's blog but her shop is SO CUTE! I am obsessed with these two clutches but there are honestly too many to choose from! They are reasonably priced too at $20! May have to have a little of my budget ;)

She also posted these coasters on her blog from uncommon on etsy.

Wooden coasters that look like dollies?! LOVE THEM!

Would be cute in my apartment ;)

Just got an email from kate spade showcasing these beauties!

These mary-jane style shoes are called Elena. Get them here for $198.

kinda expensive {and don't look very comfortable} but so pretty

I just ordered these... I know I know but they are so cute, so 80s and were really on sale!

Lucky Brand was having a 20% off the whole site, so they were $20 plus 20% off- with shipping came to like $25 (taking it off my budget as we speak)

I am lovin' them- hope they fit! {get them here}

Anyways here is what I wore yesterday:

Anyone else trying this out? Let me know =)


I also did incredible with my budget this month.

I think I have kicked my addiction to online shopping.
I am really settling down into what I need/don't need.
{Apartment shopping did not count for the record- a bed is kinda needed, & a couch etc.etc.etc}


here is a recap:

I only spent $94
have $56 left from this month {not carrying it over though- sticking to a strict budget}

Starting fresh {and so clean clean}:

Now that the basics of the apartment are bought- other not completely necessary things will be counted this month
should be a tough one...
