Wishful Wednesday :: Cyber Window Shopping

I like to window internet shop. I don't know about you but I always add a ton of things to my cart. Things I absolutely think I have to have. And then, I "X" out of the window and just "pretend" that I never saw those things or stop myself from spending money I don't have. It's so easy to virtual window shop from home, in your PJs, guilt-free with no one watching.

Going to window shop with you here.

Lazy Oaf Camera Shopper Tote

Rag & Bone Jean Jacket w/ Leather Sleeves

TopShop Structured Blazer

Sam Edelman Yelena Strappy



Nasty Gal Bright Angle Blazer

Sunday Market Tote in Cat

 How could I not like this "Kat" tote??



Ray-Ban Clubmaster Sunnies

In a perfect world, I would be able to pull off any style of frame/sunglass such as the one pictured above. But alas, I'll have to remove these from the cart. Darn.


ASOS Sleeveless Top with Spot Print & Peplum

Is anyone else as weird as me? Please don't let me feel alone on the virtual window shopping! If you also do the same thing, what are some of the things you put into your cart?

Wishful Thinking :: If I Could...

 This would be my "lazy day" outfit. If I could have all the various articles of clothing, endless accessories, a bajillion handbags, and about a zillion (zillon > bajillian, right?) different sunglasses and glasses to choose from, AND be able to fit in my mansion of a home (hey, one can dream), I would wear something like this:

Skinny Denim at Loehmann's
Wallets by Rebecca Minkoff

What pieces would you choose?

The Hong Kong Series: An Introduction

I'm back! Adjusting to jet lag and have returned to work (maybe not the best combination). How is it that it is easier to adjust going there but not so much coming back home? I think last night was the first night that I actually slept through the night... but I think it attributes to the fact that I was awake for a full 24 hours before that...

The first morning, I woke up to see this outside our window

Victoria Harbor

We began to see the sights and take in all the colors of Hong Kong

Fresh fruits for juices

There's always tons of people walking around, no matter what day of the week it is. And, people in Hong Kong work Monday through Saturday!

Interesting sights from gorgeous heights

Willpower

I really admire Kendi for her ability to stay shop-sober! I have lately had a problem with buying things here and there. Whether it's some new pants, a skirt for work, tops, accessories... you name, I go and get it! Of course me being the girl shopper that I am... I try to find things for less. And I will. But the point of the matter is that I need to just stop. Take a break. And save some money.

I really need to look into my closet and filter out the things that I truly won't wear anymore and just get rid of it. And also look for things that I CAN still wear that maybe I've forgotten about and how I can "recycle" and mix it up. Almost like what Kendi is doing in her 30 for 30 Remix!

From Kendi's 'Ball and Chain' blog post

What made me suddenly inspired? Well, I need to save money. I'm going to Napa this weekend and will probably be spending a lot of money on wine tastings...

And! I am going to Miami in August! I am soooo excited! So, not only do I have to stay shop-sober, but I also have to get back into shape. I've um... let go a bit. And I hide it well with clothes... but in the land of perfect plastic, I want to make sure that I don't stand too far out from the crowd. I also need to tan it up some! I recently picked up Jergen's Natural Glow Firming Lotion so hopefully that helps me darken up some. I am very hesitant about going to tanning salons.. even though I am jealous of how white (or yellow, ha!) I still am compared to my co-workers, who pay visits a couple times a week.

Here's a "before" picture:

So pray for me for the following things:

1. Shop-sober
2. Get fit (even though I should do this all the time)
3. Darken up!
