Things I Really Don't Need But Want Oh-So-Badly
One day I get in complete de-cluttering mode and declare to everyone within earshot that I'm packing up everything in my house and driving it all over to Goodwill. Then, five minutes on the internet leaves me sitting on my hands so I don't reach for my wallet to buy all of the adorable-yet-completely uneccessary goodies for myself (check those fabulous blue shoes in the guide picture...swoon!), my home, even my freaking cat. Because in these scary economic times, I need to be VIGILANT! and DISCIPLINED! (But let me browse. For God's sake, it's all I've got.)
An adorable, unuseable bird hook
Yes, it’s in my favorite color. Yes, I’m weak when it comes to cute silhouettes and heart cutouts. But, NO, I do not need a bird hook for anything. (It doesn’t even look like it could hold more than a scarf!)
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR
I don’t even have a garage. I don’t need this. I have nowhere to put it! Insurance rates are too high! It’s winter, I can’t even ride it that much! OMG, how I want this baby.
God, how I love tattoos. As a consumate wuss, I only have three very small ones. I long, desperately, to be a painted lady, inked along my back and stomach. You would think that I’d have all kinds of concerns when it comes to undergoing such massive personal decoration, but it always comes down to cost. ALWAYS.
The plus side? This would NOT contribute to clutter, unless you count the tins of tattoo goo that I would need.
Stuart Weitzman 'Hyper' Boot
Only $575 at Nordstrom.
New UGGS
I already have two pairs of these—I got them REALLY discounted about 7 years ago (before Britney and everyone else started wearing them and drove up the price). And while the boots are still in pretty good condition, I’m just kinda sick of them and want a new fuzzy pair (the sherling on mine has gotten a bit sad looking).
Oh and These Too!
French designer John Fluevog is my favorite! I have been eying these $435 shoes! I WANT I WANT!
F*##!! I want my iphone back!
I didn’t need this in the first place, but I got it right when it came out (I mean, it’s totally the most amazing accessory to my Macbook. Gosh.).
So a week ago, I left it on BART. Uuuurgh! So I’ve been trying to be all yogi about it; eg “it’s the universe trying to tell me that I shouldn’t have a mobile electronic device that’s so expensive.”
Bullshit. I want my iphone back. Bad.
Watercolor Strapless Dress from the Limited
It’s not even an unreasonable price tag at $128.00. I just don’t have any upcoming events that require a little bit of dressing up!
A fabulous headpiece that I'll never have any opportunity to wear
First of all, this site is so darn cool that it could be selling paperclips and I’d be tempted to buy them. And, even though it would sit on my dresser and collect dust, I’m finding it hard to resist this huge flower with that perfectly blue feather sticking from the back.
The Aerogarden
I love the concept of a plant that takes care of itself. And I already spent way too much on fresh herbs.
A kayak
Because EVERYONE in Seattle has a kayak.
Christian Louboutins
Kind of obsessed.
Seriously I could furnish my entire house, kitchen and bathroom included AND I could dress myself with all of their things….oh man….my heart.
Digital Nikon Camera
Sheesh, I’ve been WANTING this for years! I never seem to have a lump of money at one time anymore to get it. Keeping my eyes peeled on ebay this christmas….hmmmmm. OH I WANT YOU!
A Chloe Bag
I know they’re ridiculously expensive, but just look at how amazingly beautiful it is. This bag makes me drool, though I know it will never be mine. Le sigh.
