In the world of Save. Spend. Splurge.: When Celebrities Go Broke from a Shopping Addiction

1. Shopping Addiction

Remember What not to wear? Stacy London from the show, for me, was awesome (I will say, I liked Clinton a tiny bit better as he wasn’t as snarky…). I loved this article from London about her shopping addiction and how she used clothes as a way to try and fill the void in her life to the point of near bankruptcy. You don’t get to hear such honest, raw accounts, and I am deeply grateful to her for writing about it as painful as it was.

2. Java Essentials

My partner has gotten into coffee now, and he has been TRULY eying up this kettle and this sleek rechargeable milk frother because he enjoys a frothy milk topped cup.

3. Socialuxe

An interesting post on how the poor and middle-class tend to buy luxuries first, and how we shouldn’t judge them for making life bearable.

4. Juliette

O wherefore art thou? This sweet Juliette sweater is collarless, pretty and sleek while being casual and chic. It would go perfectly with these Vince white sneakers which I do not hate (and I am not a sneaker person)

5. The $0 Workout

This is one of the most creative ways to work out at home for pennies. Plus it made me laugh.

6. Fresh Skin

I swear by this Paula’s Choice 1% Retinol because I use it every other day and after the 2-week purging period, my skin is FRESHHHHH…. Definitely a holy grail item.

7. Essential Recipes

I love Indian food. I really do. Curries, the flavours.. I love it all (but I’ll pass on the desserts though…), and this article on Tejal Rao’s 10 Essential Indian Recipes is a must-read as a crash course on the cuisine. I also love that it is chock-full of flavour and vegetarian if not vegan. <3

8. Studded

I am loving this Ann Taylor set of knotted stud earrings. Simple, bold, chic and understated. Could I have said that about any other item? I also by the way, am obsessed with their high-waisted ponte leggings.

9. A Voyeur in Paris

One of my favourite Money Diaries to date because it was so full of interesting lifestyle bits and pieces (new mother, living in Paris, making a high income..): A Week In Paris, France, On A $101,000 Salary … and the follow-up A Week In Paris, France, On Unemployment was EVEN BETTER.

10. Drinks are on me

I don’t drink, but this martini brooch is adorbs for a small little punch of je ne sais quoi in your outfit. It’s something I as a non-drinker would find cute enough to wear, along with this gorgeous bow-tie waist top… I own one a similar bow-tie top and I wear it to DEATH.
