I Feel the Siren Song of the New Purse Calling to Me

Again. And once again, I’m going to need to just ignore it.  We’re even closer to our anniversary and now it’s looking like even that could change (a possible earlier trip to Vegas instead). I should be fine though.  I just bought this gorgeous Le Sportsac (as if you might need further proof that I’m a child [...]

The Shopping Moratorium Has Ended

Image by ME! via Flickr Well, not really.  But kinda.  Once we realized that the fraudulent charges were dropped, it eased things up a bit.  Not that I’m going to head out to pick up that new $300 purse (heck, I’m turning down a trip to the outlets this weekend), but I have done a little [...]

I’m Feeling the Urge to Shop

Image by The Library of Congress via Flickr Did you ever notice that when you really need to save money, or be on some sort of budget, that’s when the shopping urge comes to town?  I’m not a crazy shopaholic (despite what my recent lipstick purchases might otherwise suggest).  I work from home, so I don’t [...]

What Would You Like for Valentine’s Day?

Image by mozzercork via Flickr Buying gifts for the various holidays and birthdays just isn’t very big in our house.  Even when I do ask for a gift, it’s typically something housewares-y or domestic (which is hear is all wrong).  I’m planning on creating a shopping guide  (you have no idea how much I adore checking [...]

Uh Oh, I Just Spent $100 on New Lipsticks

Yes, you read that right…$100 on new lipsticks (plural, more than one). As you may or may not have heard (if you follow me on Twitter you’ll likely have heard), I just found out last week that my favorite, go to lipstick has been discontinued.  I’ve always heard about those ladies that freak out when their [...]

Looking for GPS Navigation System Advice

After our fiasco of driving around Dublin totally and completely lost, while our friends went here, there and everywhere without once getting lost using their GPS unit, we’ve decided to take the plunge.  I’m thinking that Black Friday sales will bring me the best deal.  But not knowing much about one brand vs another brand, [...]

What a Gift Giving Score!!

Headed out to Kohl’s earlier today – they’re having a “power shopping sale” with “2 days of our most powerful prices.”  I had a few gifts to pick up – family birthdays to be celebrated over Thanksgiving, baby shower, and friend’s birthday – so I figured I’d check out this powerful sale. Man, total score.  Seriously, [...]

Looking For Some of Your Favorite Things

I’m all a’twitter here. My husband has finally gotten around to creating our brand new sweepstakes page for my site.  Originally, I had planned to give away one item a day for the entire month of November, in preparation for the holiday season.  I actually had such a good response to my Haro pitch and [...]

Silly Winter-Related Question…

Does your man wear any winter weather paraphernalia, you know, hats, scarves, gloves, etc.?  Now that winter stuff is finally in the stores, I’m trying to finish up our Ireland shopping.  For the hubs though, I’m kind of stuck on his accessories, so to speak. Here in Southern California, it doesn’t get all that crazy cold.  [...]

I’m So Ready for Fall

Real fall or at least the sort of fall that we get here in LA. I’ve my crave-able pumpkin spice lattes twice now and well, 1) they’re just not as enjoyable when it’s 80 degrees out and 2) they just don’t seem to taste quite as good as I remember. But the real reason I’m [...]
