To splurge or not to splurge?


Happy New Years loves! 2015! I can't believe it, this past year flew by & it was definitely a year to 
remember!
 It's a brand new year & I'm so anxious to see what this new year will bring to all my friends, family, and the adventures that await my husband & I. 
My favorite part of 2014: Marrying the love of my life! :)


What was yours?



I can only wish many blessings, success, and love for all of my readers from all over the world!





Have you ever had your eye on a certain purse, stylish pair of shoes, luxury sunglasses, a gorgeous watch, a new laptop/desktop for work, new phone, or even just the desire to go out and shop for a new wardrobe?! I know we've ALL been there! Come on, we're women, who doesn't window shop online every once in a while (or everyday!) & say "Maybe I'll get it next time!" or "I REALLLY want that!" or "OMG, I need that in my lifeeeeee!" ....& we never end up getting it because we make up a million reasons in our head why we don't need it? 






Well, with these helpful tips of mine, I'll help you decide whether to take the plunge and splurge on that certain item you've been eyeing for months OR if it's something to save your money on! 

Let's get started...




Is it a 'WOW'?!
I ask myself this ALL THE TIME, is this an absolute WOW? If I don't take it, will I go home and be thinking about it all week how "I should have just bought it!" If it's drop dead gorgeous, you're in love with it, you already customized in your mind a million outfits that can possibly go with THIS certain item.. take it. You'll be happy you did.




Do you have something similar just sitting in your closet?
If you're out & spot something you love - but have something very similar gathering dust at home.. pass on it! Save the money & splurge on something that is one of a kind!



Is it versatile?
I love investing in clothing, shoes, and handbags that are very versatile! You'll be happy you spent a few extra bucks on a great piece that will last you through out the year! If you can dress it up, dress it down, wear it for the Holidays or even for a night out with your girlfriends - you've got a winner! TAKE IT HOME.





"BUT IT'S ON CLEARANCE!"
Just because it's on clearance, doesn't mean you need it, girlfriend! 




If it's an investment for work...
TAKE IT. When it comes to your job, you got to SPEND MONEY to MAKE money (HOLLA!) 
You may think "that's wayyy too expensive" BUT you are investing in yourself & your job! You never want to take the easy way out when it comes to your work, as a business woman, you NEED to show your clients that your work/ equipment/ and packaging is KEY! Trust me, people remember your details. 




If you keep going back to it....
If you are constantly going back & desperate to have something.... but it's too pricey......save up for it & then treat yourself! We all deserve to spoil ourselves every once in a while! We work hard, we deserve it! That feeling of knowing you saved up your hard working money to purchase that one piece of eye candy will be worth the wait! Life is too short, treat yourself and be proud that you did!



I hope these little tips that help ME, help YOU guys!

& remember: 
Treat yourself every once in a while! 
You DESERVE IT ;)




Until next blog post lovelies!
Make this a WONDERFUL year.
