i have a dream. a goal. a vision. an ideal.

stop shopping. (you should *gasp!)

yes, i know it is going to be difficult, and i know i will be up against some mighty contenders, but i am resilient. i shall overcome my love for shopping and hold my purse strings tight.

it did however make my day yesterday night when my 2nd order at Urban Outfitters arrived! (: yes, this is one of the many reasons why i am trying to STOP SHOPPING (maybe specifically online......

No. i will hold my purse strings tight. I will hold my purse strings tight *play on repeat.)


fyi. whenever you go shopping online. google the shops' names and coupon codes. most of the times, retailmenot.com carries some secret discount code. sharing is caring! (:

in it, was this lovely leather jacket. some shopper on the website commented that it kinda fits large, which is entirely hogwash. she recommended that we go a size down, so i went with size XS. i could prolly have gone for a small; but the XS fits like a glove to my body shape!

Silence & Noise Zipper Pocket Jacket, $89.99 was $128
love love love.

okay, i have indubitably a large shoe collection. in fact, when i came to Calgary, i brought only the essentials. the other 25+ (i have yet to get a true count) shoes lying around the house/room and secretly stacked away in some boxes were all bought in the last year and a half.

my latest addition: Jeffrey Campbell Lace-Up Booties, $69.99 was $150
