I could give up shopping, but I am not a quitter!

People who follow my blog #YeahIAmTalkingToYouTwo might know that I am currently on a grow-up-and-save-money-trip. However nobody told me that this is going to be so difficult #SomebodyCouldHaveWarnMe. Quitting smoking in comparison to that must be like a cakewalk #SmokersPleaseDontFeelOffended. Well, you get it, I am having quite a hard time, but thanks God we don't have Sale Season that would have probably killed me. 

So I would say I am doing quite good avoiding window shopping and pretending not to check any online stores. However the other day when my friends ask me if I want to join them to stop by at a fashion market "just-to-hang-out" I said yes, because this is what socialiser do #Right. Obviously before entering the market I loudly and proudly announced that I woudnl't buy anything, because I am now a SAVER #ItTookMeAWhileToRememberHowToSpellThisWord and a #Miserable recovered shopaholic. Head high I walked into the market #HighEnoughToAvoidLookingAtAnyProducts but then there was this moment I lost control and #baam, here she was The-bag-I-was-always-looking-for #LikeMyWholeLife. It was love at first sight and before I realised I had passed my visa to the lovely sales person and another #baam and the bag was mine. When we left I had the biggest smile of the night and obviously I was the only one of my friends who had bought something #soundsfamiliar. 

I still don't feel guilty about what happened, because I am seriously in love with the bag and every time I look at it I have butterflies in my stomach again #IsThatWrong?

But it is not like I haven't learnt anything from it - besides window shopping and online stores, fashion markets are now as well on my Not-To-Do list.

Have a fab Sunday peeps!

Carrie who?

I have no idea how I have missed that. I was probably to busy celebrating on New Year's Eve that 2013 is gonna be my year #NeverDoThat #ItDoesNotWorkLikeThat which was obviously just a big bubble. So almost one year later thanks to too much blog looki looki I stumbled upon an article about The Carries Diaries second season. And I was like what? Second season? I have not even seen season one!!! How on earth did that happen  #DontTellAnybody #ALotOfCatchingUpToDo

You know there a certain series that make you want to cry and feel miserably bad about everything that has happened to the people on that episode #IAmTalkingGracesAnatomyTalk #ISeriouslyPulledOutMyTissuesAfterEverySingleEpisode But then there are these series that make you feel good, that give you the feeling thou have the world at your feet and you can do anything you want as long as you believe in yourself. The Carries Diaries is one of those series. After watching the first episode of season 1 I just felt like 20 again with all doors open and ready to take on the next adventure. I might not be 20 anymore BUT I feel more ready than ever to take on the next phase of my life. These are probably my most naive moments but I am also a passionate dreamer. Give me 5 seconds and I can make up a whole scenario of how my life is going to look like if I would make a certain decision. 

And The Carries Diaries makes me have butterflies in my stomach when I think about my future - everything is possible, I just need to decide if I want to go left or right. What a fantastic feeling!

Find all the episodes of The Carries Diaries here. Believe me, it is worth it #CarrieBradshawForPresident

Wish listing #saywhat

You know what? I don't do wish lists. I find that a waste of time. I either can afford it and go to the store to buy it or I force myself to forget about it #NotAlwaysWorking #GiveMeABreak.

But my life has changed. I AM SAVING MONEY NOW.  I know a lot of people might be surprised about those words coming out my mouth. It's not like I Iive a wasteful life, but saving for "later" was never one of my strength #Hey #NobodyIsPerfect.

You know this feeling when you see somebody for the first time and you just know that you are made for each other? Well this happens to me on a regularly basis ....with cloth #NoJudging! I can't help it. If it is in my budget I need to have it and if it is not than I will search for this one thing, this one error that makes this coat or jumper or shoes not want me to have it and I happily can walk away. #NormalReasoningLikeIDontNeedThisDoesNotWorkForMe. However I am still trying to figure out why a Birkin bag would not look good on my arm, any help is welcome #OrA6.000€ChequeWouldDoAsWell ;)

But things have changed. I am an adult now. Adults save money #WhoSaidThat? #MyMum. So that brings me where? To a freaking wish  list. My definition of a wish  list? Things-I-really-want-and-can't-talk-them-out-of-my-head-because-I-could-afford-them-and-they-are-fautless-however-I-am-acting-as-an-adult-and-save-my-money-for #WhatActually? #ABiggerCause #AhOk

So people get ready for a blog floaded by wish  lists, because this is how I rule from now on. I have joined you whish listers and I am ready to share your pain. If this whist-listing-thingy works for you, it better works for me as well!

My first wish  list - or just call it therapy session> 

Things I would like to have in my closet but instead I put them on my freaking wishlist #SoMuchFun #Not #AmIAllowedToCry?

Pinestripe Oversized Blazer Coat by Mango, Pattern-Weave skirt by H&M, Leather City bag by Zara, Wool hat by Other Stories, Neoprene Skirt by H&M

Glamorous online shopping #not

You know the one think that annoys me about online shopping? The packaging. You are highly excited, the post man is ringing the bell, you open the package #likenowornever and you find your precious so-wanted garments in a see-threw plastic bag??!! I mean I know that I am not shopping at Chanel, but common a plastic bag is not sexy at all #findalternatives!!! And most of the time the garment is so creased that if you put it on it looks like a piece of fabric and not that beautiful dress I saw online. So now I even have to iron it #toomuchwork. There should be def a discount for unironed pieces #menotliking.

I bought this body with the dress online from Miss Selfridge and luckily it was in a much better state than the dress. I am so happy to add this hot piece to my wardrobe as it sexy but at the same time classy #mymumwillprobablynotagreeonthat.

Now I just need an occasion to wear it out  #Ihopeyouarelisteningmyfriends #letsdoaladiesnightsoon
