Chic on a Budget? (Budget, as in no. more. shoes.)

So the time has come to actually keep a balance in my savings account... to save?... and worst of all... to STOP BUYING SHOES? It really sounds dreadful and quite frankly I have no desire to keep money in the bank when my feet could be sparkling down the streets of Boston, ugh, however I am entering adulthood? My love and I have signed a new lease, which is super exciting, however now I have someone to remind me we have bills and silly obligations called life... and life is expensive.

With that being said my goal is to write about my challenges, mostly staying out of Saks, and my new found love for SAVING! (sounds awful to me) I keep telling myself today is the day Shannon, no more shopping! Flash forward to one hour later and I am walking home with a new watch, misc. household items from Crate & Barrel, and lip gloss - trust me I have enough lip gloss to make then entire population of Belgium shine... it's bad... but how can you blame me? It's just so sparkly. So I figured if I wrote it all out here, and perhaps someone somewhere was reading it, I could get in trouble... aka SAVE SAVE SAVE!

Let's see how this goes xx

hello hibiscus.

On my search for all things wonderful, I just need to have these pretty little stay on coasters. Doubling as a wine glass tagger and a coaster, it's a fabulous purchase.

You can add some color to your sipping too - find the Hibiscus Stay on Coasters at Dimmalimm. Best part is; the mother/daughter Dimmalimm duo believe in all things ethical, and only purchase from local vendors. How can you resist?

enjoy - xx

and it sounds so simple.

there is no life worth living without love, so go after what you love and don't stop until you get it.

tonight I told a close friend to pack a suitcase and move across the country to follow his heart. I was the first person to genuinely give him support without tearing down his hopes.

don't ever ignore what's in your heart. the love in your life will travel with you, and if it doesn't, it isn't love.

oh the principles of uncertainty.

I laugh, I cry, I shop, and I share it all with you.


enjoy - xx
