Nothing like a non-commitment purchase.  A trend is not something you want to spend a lot on.  On top of which Spring is pretty much non-existent these days.  Hello 2 weeks and then Summer?  So trying out new looks can be daring and a waste if you spend a lot and it will just sit in your closet.  Take it from someone who knows...(My friends and family benefit frequently from my shopping habit.)  So- if I were going to buy a few things to update my look this Spring season and keep it budget friendly- this is what I would buy...ahem:

February flew and I spent most of my time indoors partly because it was freezing and my poor lungs could not take it (asthma anyone?) and also partly because of many hours at work. But I did manage to do a little online shopping and a little night time sipping (wine please)!

So as much as I wanted to start 2013 with a bang, I sort of started it with a booo.... The Flu to be exact.  I am not going to let it get me down.  I spent a good five days down for the count and that's quite long enough.  So after days of continuous soup, all kinds of juice and tylenol, I was ready to open my eyes again and actually well- sit up.

I knew I was on the road to recovery when I finally checked my IPad  for my new Lucky Magazine and did some virtual window shopping. And in between tissues, this is what got me amped up and out of bed.  Bring on the up coming 2013 shopping season.

This is my kind of juice:




1. The bold wear with anything necklace    2. A new pair of Sunnies   3. The must have watch  4. The wedge sneaker is still hot   5. A bright pair of designer slingbacks   6. The itty bitty shoulder bag
