Rainy season is starting here in San Francisco.  I’m updating my wardrobe with jackets, umbrellas, scarves and sweaters.  Yes, I will be the person in December waddling down the street in a million layers because I’m cold.  I’m pretty sure I need some rainboots though and you know I love an excuse to shop for shoes.

Are these too unpractical? I mean the bow is so cute!

However these are cute too…

Do you have a need for rainboots where you live?  If you need some here are some more options.

1. I hope my kids are this cute.

2. I wish I had this much style and the cute clothes. Only bigger.

Sometimes we just need to play dress-up and have fun.  Fancy shoes and balloons just make it better.

Happy Friday!

Any fun weekend plans?

Now don’t get me wrong, I love accessories just as much as the next girl.  But, somehow I can never bring myself to buy them.  Necklaces, earrings, head bands, bracelets, purses and the like never make their way into my shopping bag.

Why?  I think I just get cheap and figure I don’t need to spend the extra dollars or I’d rather be able to buy a new shirt that would seem to be more usable.  See my shopping habits have drastically decreased in recent years due to budget and a combined income.  For some reason I feel more self-conscious about my spending and tend to skimp, feeling like I should use the money elsewhere or save for something we both can benefit from.  Not that I’m controlled by my wonderful husband, he usually encourages me to splurge on something when we are out together.  I’d just say fashion unfortunately hasn’t been as much of a focus as of late.  Something I always regret when getting ready to go out.

Anyways all of this has led to a lack of accessories.  And guess what?  I’m always wishing that I had more of something to add the final touch to an outfit when I’m going out.   I need to add a few fun things to my collection.

Here are some accessories that I’ve been admiring.  (Many are from the shops created by my favorite blogs)

Puffy Neon Owls Skinny Headband from Dead Flowers

Purple Frosting Headband from How Joyful

Carnival Night Plaid Fabric Pin from Silver Pencils

The BLUSH Flower and Ruffle Headband by Redheaded Actress

Dainty Initial Hearts from The Vintage Pearl

Seafoam Print Laptop Bag by Gussy

Are you an “accessories person?”  What are the must have accessories?

Do you ever hesitate to spend on yourself?

I really love shoes.  To the point that I’d rather shop for shoes and neglect all other pieces of my wardrobe.  Sadly due to my budget and the unfortunate fact that I have strangely narrow feet that result in expensive shoes; I have not bought many shoes in recent times.

But like with all good cravings and addictions, does that stop me from thinking about shoes I’d like to have? Nope.  I just look online and think about a day when I’ll be able to afford some of the shoes I just simply admire now.

What type of shoes?  Well, I used to be all high heels.  However, between going to a college with unreasonably steep hills,  dating my now husband who I prefer to be shorter than, and just being out of “high heel shape” my shoes are mostly flats now.  To the point that I completely wore my favorite flats to falling apart at the threads and am now on the search for some replacements.

I think these pairs would do just fine.

Lovely People ‘Lilly’ Flat

Steve Madden ‘Florale’ Flat

Frye ‘Emma’ Flat

Seychelles ‘Trip the Light’ T-Strap Sandal (I like yellow and taupe)

Seychelles ‘Veronica’ T-Strap Pump

What pair of shoes are on your wish list? Do you prefer heels or flats?
