Eyeing...

So I'm on another "shopping ban" until Black Friday (and really, going to try to hold myself off until the BEST sales come in January!!!) - I thought I'd use the blog to collect some of things I've been eyeing lately...

Here it goes:

Chunky chain necklace (This one is sold out already!)

Fur vest (but I've recently already bought a fur snood...) - Do. Not. Need. But. Want. Ahhhhhhh.

Black leather biker jacket - This is tough ... I'm having a hard time figure this out. Real leather or vegan/faux leather? How much do I really want to shell out for one? This Madewell one is pretty cute...

Classic suede pumps... but in blue! - I keep coming back to these... So... Cute...

Stacked heel booties - Do I need? No. Do I crave? Yes.

Can you believe these are H&M? Not bad, right?

And check these, also from H&M...

Sigh. ... Must exercise self control :). Lusting until end-of-November...

Today, I ...

.... while eating my 4th munchkin at work, I got jelly on my shirt and a co-worker public shamed me, calling it out as a "sign of gluttony" ... Sigh.

Linky-dink...

I'd like to go to this Sunday ... but on Sunday, it's all-day-and-night of NFL football-watching... ! (Well, this is more of a problem that Nick won't go with me...) ... I think I will have to find friends to come with me!

Medieval Festival in Fort Tryon Park

Saw this on TV (Unique Sweests. Great show. I'm not kidding.) and drooled... On my to try list. I hope my friend Kate will come with me to try this! She's always trying unique food in NYC.

An article about the state of indie music today...

Is the guitar disappearing from indie rock music?

UM, YUM!

Happy Monday

I've moved!

Apartments!

Nick and I moved in together one month + one day ago! I've been getting questions from my parents and friends, like "How is it?" - "What's it like living with a boy?" etc.

My report is that so far, it's been natural and no surprises! Is that surprising? Nick and I had similar living habits already, before we moved in together, so that made the transition very easy. (I didn't have to have a freak-out session and learn how dirty this boy was.) (... He's very pretty clean!)

And we were excited to be productive and save money by making dinner as much as we can.

I'm running out of recipes and meal ideas, though.

Good thing my lovely friend Kate has been cooking up a storm the last year and tried all sorts of recipes that I now need to try out ;) ... Hehe!

Anyways, I'm back at the blog and giving it another go after a few months hiatus!

Plus, I'm on another shopping ban................. Do we see a pattern here?

I think shopping bans are good to have from September to Black Friday, then again from February to May! Best time to shop is the summer, from sale to sale (Memorial through Labor Day!) and then from Black Friday through the end of January sale! Eeee! That's what I'm doing from now on, at least.
