I was going to do a September Issue post at the beginning of the week and kept putting it off and now everyone has done one, so I'll just skip it so you all aren't bored of the same thing ;)
A few days ago my first credit card came in the mail! Yes, I am 21 and just got my first credit card...I don't really need one but I figured I should get one to start building up my credit. Below is what my card looks like, I got one of those Captial One image cards ;) I made my first purchase with it today! (shame on me) (and no, that's not the actual card, I made it in photoshop...but that is the image that's on it)
Now, onto some good and bad news. Last night I found out that the plain black Miu Miu inspired Mary Janes were finally online at Forever 21, so of course, I had to get them!! I really hate paying shipping so I opted for paying $10 more than I would have if I paid shipping to get a few more items ;) Whenever I shop I go through pretty much everything and add whatever I like to my cart, then when I'm done I go back and weed out things I have changed my mind about or don't really need. The only problem is that sometimes, like this time, I end up with some things I really don't want to take out of my cart. I was only planning on spending $40, but ended up spending $48.90 (GRR) :/ Normally I wouldn't have spent all that money...but whatever.
BUT apparently if you purchase over $25 in stuff you get a free magazine subscription, but if you don't want that you can email a form and get a $10 rebate, so I'm doing that! Hopefully it works.
Now hopefully it all fits, if the shoes don't fit I'm going to sell them on here or eBay so someone in another country can have a chance. But I really hope I don't have to do that since I want them all to myself ;)
I have decided to take cues from Lydia and my past spending freeze and starting on September 1st I'm going to try to stop spending money again (except gas). I doubt I'll be able to do it though...maybe I should set a monthly limit or something instead? Well I have 6 days to decide the terms of my freeze.
Finally, the winner of the Destination Diva Bracelet Giveaway is....MARIE from Marie a la Mode!!! I will be emailing your information to Adrienne and she will contact you about where to ship your bracelet!
And so ends this ridiculously long post!
