Monday Wanting

by Heidi on November 10, 2008

I’ve taken to a bad habit. It’s called lusting for things I can’t have. You see, fiancé and I started this budget thang, which really really cramps my style. I get a…small allowance. A bit of a slush fund if you will. I mean, I guess I should be excited that I even have one. Unfortunately, less than half way into the month, Fiancé has gone over his about $2 and I have about $20 left in mine.

Harrumph.

What am I lusting over this week??

This book on amazon. I recently started reading the Author’s blog and picked this book (though still TBD) for the December book club. Additionally, it was on the NY Times best seller list which I don’t often read from but I’m pretty stoked to check this gem out :)


This coat. It’s 50% off at old navy.com for this week…I love my new coat but I like this one too and who doesn’t need a short coat???

Saw this sweater on a blog on friday and fell in lust. $20 at Forever 21. *swoon*

Vineyard Vines Classic Totebag. I picked the palm trees but secretly I’m lusting for this one.

Clearly, I’m a girl with many wants. Luckily for Fiancé, I keep them…relatively…in check. What are you all lusting after? (p.s. expect Monday wants to become a normal fixture here at Life in Pink)

    my latest lusts have been dresses and shoes… i keep making the excuse that i need a dress for a friend’s wedding next Sept. it only makes sense that i buy it all now, right? because i couldn’t possibly change my mind in the next 10 months… not me… never.

    i’m headed over to see what other colors that sweater comes in right now : )

    Coco Mademoiselle perfume… I caught a whiff of someone on the bus and I had to ask them what they are wearing. Now I am in lust with a $100 perfume. Silly Liz.

    I’ve found that blogging about what I’m lusting after sometimes quells the lust. I’ve been wanting to buy some stuff to jazz up my table since I’m hosting Thanksgiving for my parents this year. But, in the bigger picture it’s unnecessary. Boo.

    You could always get the book from the library though. That would take care of one lust :)

    I’m with you on wanting the book and with being on the budget. I forgot how much it costs to buy other people Christmas presents… maybe I’ll just send cards this year. Good luck!

    I don’t think its just a coincidence that the sweater from Forever is $20 and you have $20 left in your budget… clearly, that is a sign. ;)

    Obviously, I’m not a good budget-er…

    I’m lusting after my best friend’s new pair of (really expensive) boots. I literally dreamed about them last night in my sleep.
