FANCY SHMANCY

Jon and I always budget an "allowance" for ourselves every month. We do our best to be financially on top of things and we've been working hard for 19-ish months to pay off my students loans. We started with ten and we are down to 4. Whooo!! But we've got big plans for the future and we're trying to stay smart when it comes to money. Having an allowance has been an awesome way for us to treat ourselves and save for the things we really want. Right now, I'm saving my pennies for a new dining room in August//September, so I've been extra good lately. However, this collection of fancy items I put together isn't helping much! I'm about 3 minutes away from giving in and buying those beautiful Jessica Simpson platforms...

1. I'm in love with this bedding from Anthro. I've been dreaming up ideas for our bedroom when we move to the townhouse and I'm picturing this bedding with a steal canopy bed and lots of wood and industrial elements. 

2. Can this dress be in my closet?? 

3. My iPhone might need a little update. I'm loving this beautiful mint case. 

4. Perfect little deer hook for keys! What a great entryway piece. 

5. Colorful sheets!

6. My dream Jessica Simpson platforms.

7. These geometric sandals would be perfect in the summer with a maxi!

8. The fanciest camera straps I've ever seen from Bloom Theory.

9. Fantasizing about my future garden. I have zero experience in gardening, but I'm planning an herb and succulent garden for the town home. :)
