The Not- so -Thrifty Post

I had EVERY intention of writing a fun little post about how to get more bang for your buck when redesigning your bedroom.  Well.  . .we'll save that one for later because, to be quite honest, everywhere I went yesterday, I wanted to spend, spend, spend.
I was clearly NOT in the mood to thrift.
Maybe it's because I was feeling dreadfully uninspired. And we all know that, most often, thrifty needs creativity as a partner in crime.
{Should have spent some good quality time on Pinterest before leaving the house}

So instead, I thought I'd share 5 things I'm loving right now:
{Fair warning, there is not one way you're going to save money by reading this post, but it's fun to splurge every once in a while}



No. 1|

While I've never been a huge fan of Rose Gold, I fell for this two-toned beauty today.  You really can never go wrong with a Michael Kors watch....so classic!  Putting it on the birthday wish list pronto.


No. 2|

This was one of those products I'd heard SO much about but was slow and skeptical to try.  Not wanting to commit to one of the pricier brands, I went for the el-cheapo Garnier and I AM HOOKED!  BB creams have been all the rage in Asia for years but have just recently made their debut in the States.  Garnier markets their product as  "an all-in-one, super dooper, anytime, anywhere skincare solution for perfect-looking skin".  Yep, I believe it.  I love the natural and dewy look for the summer and this was just the ticket!  Paired with a great moisturizer, it's sure to be a staple!

No. 3|  Everything C. Wonder

The store that claims to "deliver brightness to every corner of life" certainly does not dissapoint!

Although the Queen City doesn't yet have a brick and mortar C. Wonder, I spent FAR too much time clicking "add to cart" at their online boutique today.

My favorites so far are the Ikat and Sunset totes - perfect for the beach and running errands around town.

No. 4|  Tocca's Colette Perfume

The bottle alone could have sold me, but one spritz and this quickly became my new favorite scent!  I tried to walk away but kept smelling my wrist, and turned myself right around.  Light enough for summer, and has a distinctive clean, soft smell.  Best part? It stays with you all day!

No. 5|

Mint is clearly the color of the moment!  This skinny belt from asos is a perfect pick at just $10! At that price, you might just scoop up a few more colors while you're there.

That's it for me -what are your top picks for the season?
