On To The Next Obsession, SHOES.

I have been obsessed with bags for the LONGEST time.
However the obsession has stopped... not exactly stopped but it has subsided for now. There are still bags I want or crave but I don't need the NEED for them (not yet anyway).

Like an addiction, an obsession must be replaced and right now its shoes.
Shoes.
Shoes.
Shoes.
High heeled platforms, thigh high boots, platform sandals. No flats though.
Ugh I can't get 6" wedges out of my head and even higher heels.
Some shoes I am craving right now:











I just want them high and sexy.

Today's Outfit


Jacket, H&M, shorts, f21, belt, Roo Salon, Gloomy paw, Toy Cube, striped shirt, tights, grey socks, brown boots, all from Hong Kong.

No work today so I decided to put in some effort and dress cute. Luckily I was at my friends house who has a full-length mirror. I also wore a wine colored floppy hat but its not pictured =(

Teen Vogue March 2010, Toy Soldier








My favorite editorial at the moment. The styling is so impeccable. It's like elegance, fantasy, and adventure combined.

My Gal Budget

Although now that I have acquired a job, it now means I have to pay off my debt (which fortunately is toward my mother-in-law so no interest yay!). I can pay it off in 6 months which means limited shopping, I mean like extremely limited shopping. Lucky for me, my shopping addiction seems to have faded away... for now.
So I'm going take advantage of that and start saving up to pay off my debt, spring shopping, and traveling!

So I've developed what I should get (and not what I want) and how I should save:


By week,

Weekly earnings at minimum: $150 (after taxes)
HK Debt: -$113
Travel/Vacation money: -$24
Shopping, hanging out, etc.: -$13
Transportation Money: Okay hopefully my boyfriend can help 8D~

So that means I only have $13 to spend weekly (*CRIES*). I can do it! I mean it will only last for six months and hopefully I will get more hours at work which means more working, less play, and more saving money like eating at home and no fancy bubble tea drinks. I know it looks stupid to put so much money in vacation money but I really love going out of the country and I would much rather see the world in my lifetime than save up most of my life for a house. I mean.. thats what my spouse is for right? Hehehe.





Along with knowing how to budget my money for what I should spend it on, I should also sort out what type of clothes I need. Since Spring is approaching (although not very fast because New York takes a while till it gets warm ugh..............) I want to get my list of things I SHOULD buy and not things I want:

Spring/Summer Shopping 2010

Jean Shorts
3 Summer Blouses
2 Summer Dresses (one long, one short)

1 Romper
Summer Bag Got it! Though I splurged a little... :3
2 Flip-Flops (Old Navy, 2 for $5! Black and pink!)

1 High Heel
1 pair of light colored bootcut/flared jeans
1 belt (maybe a DIY project)

I think this is do-able and reasonable. I have more than enough shoes and hats... and bags.. but the bag has been bought hahaha!




I can't wait!
