Not Buying

in 2009, i resolved to spend less money on things, and more money on travel. to ensure success, i made this blog to chronicle what i want to buy but won't. it is window shopping at it's best, with a captive audience!

In my blinders-on-buy-all-of-the-halloween quest, I wandered into Lush to be greeted with all manner of spookiness. And while I wanted one of everything Halloweeny, I just bought this soap that leaves you sparkly like a friggin magical unicorn because OF COURSE I BOUGHT THIS.

If you know much about me, you know that I have big legs. I’m not talking trash, I like my big legs. But over-the-knee boots are basically out for me because of them. I just saw these on Asos tho! They are designed for bigger legs. They actually make this boot in 3 varieties to fit any body which I really freaking love!! Good job, Asos.

ANDDDD speaking of Target... it’s that time of the year where I literally go to Target every single day waiting for the Halloween stuff to FINALLY be put out so I can undo all the not buying I have managed to do and spend ALL OF MY MONEY I AM NOT ASHAMED. It still isn’t ALL out, but I did pick up this snake candle holder BECAUSE OF COURSE I DID DONT SASS ME.
