16 Ways Twentysomething Women Rationalize Spending Money via Cosmopolitan

So this story gives me life.  There are always times in your life when you feel like you just must spend money on something.  We all have to admit it.  For example, my ex-boyfriend has always been one to not spend any money on ANYTHING but even when he sees something come out, he spends the money immediately because he feels like he MUST have it before anyone else.  Everyone has the passion for at least one concept in their life that they feel is so important and thats where spending money often comes in.  While I admit that I do share that same passion for clothes, shoes and money, I don't always muse about why I should get said top or pair of jeans, I quickly rationalize and just make the purchase.  While a lot of these examples aren't exactly thoughts of mine, some of them make connections with the way I make my purchases and I couldn't help but share it with you guys.  After all, I did just have the busiest week at work EVER, so I do deserve $100 shopping spree at H&M, sign me up.  How do you rationalize spending money?

Sexiest Gif of Joe Jonas Ever via Buzzfeed

So everyone that knows me knows that while I was in high school I went through the hugest Jonas Brothers phase that you ever did see.  I skipped Senior Prom to get to a concert, I watch the live streams that they did, I learned as much has possible about the Road Dogs, I tried finding out everything there was to know about them living in New Jersey and a whole bunch more.  I wish I could say that I was embarrassed but I most certainly am not.  Being that they held such a soft spot in my heart for so long, I feel like at least Joe will never leave that spot and that's why I couldn't help but include this beautiful gif of the boy, ugh I love him.  Who was your favorite high school band?

Rose Water Pudding via Leaf tv on Youtube

So what better way to welcome Spring than with trying out the recipe for something as magical as freaking Rose Pudding.  This video makes me want to go out this weekend and get the ingredients to make this ASAP.  Not only is the presentation of this adorable, but I feel like it will taste SO AMAZING.  I love anything rose flavored.  I remember when I tried Rose Water Macarons from Le Maison du Maraon in New York this summer I almost fell over they were so delicious.

What To Do With Broken Jewelry via A Fab Life

I mean, let us be completely honest.  How much $2 jewelry have you purchase from Forever21?  I cannot tell a lie, I have way too much.  Granted, some of it is still holding up but a lot of it doesn't really last long especially if it's more statement-making or costume jewelry.  Leah and Mary always make 'Tipsy Tuesday' videos explaining some tips for random things in your life that you may not think to do and that's what sets them apart.  I love learning new things from them especially through their adorable storytelling videos and illuminating personalities.   They are adorable so go check them out and subscribe to their channel!

Chanel's Supermarket Chic via NY Times

Of course I can't let this go without talking about some of Chanel's latest.  I mean, as already a huge fan of everything Chanel, I can't really get over the fact that everything they do is perfect to me.  With this though, I felt fashionably touched.  Being that I used to work at a supermarket (most ridiculous, traumatizing seven years of my life), I felt like Lagerfeld reached deep into my soul and pulled out this fantastic connection.  Ugh, let me just sigh for a minute because even though I felt the connection, there are just more clothes that I probably will never be able to afford.  Strangely, I am still 100% okay with that.

What have you been loving this week?  Anything good?  You know I would love to see so feel free to share with me in the comments below or send me a tweet!  I hope you guys have an awesome weekend and I will talk to you soon!  Thanks for reading as always.




Fun Links on Friday, 2/28!

Every single time I find an article I love, I get so excited.  Granted, I read so much everyday that it's very simple for me to find a couple of things that I do enjoy (whether they've been published this week or not).  Here are this week's Fun Links on Friday:



34 Problems Men Will Never Understand via Cosmopolitan

I can't lie, some of the things Cosmo posts drive me insane.  I don't know about you, but sometimes I even feel pressured or something when I'm reading their content.  In the same token, I absolutely love most of it, I don't really know if that makes sense but it does to me.  If you read this story you will see, there is almost nothing that I don't agree with.  Honestly, what guy realistically knows where/what the waterline is?  Not one.  There are some girls that I'm friends with that don't know what the waterline is when I start trying to explain it.  



Miranda Kerr Looks Stunning in Her First H&M Campaign via StyleCaster

So I know you guys already know this about me, but I love H&M.  Something you may not know is that I am obsessed with Miranda Kerr.  Everything about her is basically perfect.  You know how everyone feels about Beyonce?  Well, I love Beyonce but I love Miranda Kerr way more.  I feel like she can defy gravity or something with her gorgeousness.  I don't know.  Anyway, H&M x Miranda Kerr sounds like my heaven so I cannot wait for it to become a reality and the collaboration is on it's way as new photos were released today.  Look for the new stuff in March (tomorrow!!!!).  


Alala Style via Alala

This.  Website.  Is.  Chic.  Now, this workout gear is super chic and I absolutely love the designs.  My favorites (if I had to pick) would most definitely be the look of the sheer-paneled workout capri's and probably any one of the bras.  I love the look of simplistic stuff when it comes to workout gear.  I don't like to be in the gym or running outside with some obnoxious look on, I always want to be understated and Alala Style definitely offers that.  The #Alalalife also allows you to go from workout to the grocery store, as the looks are so transitional and versatile.  Check it out!

What other links have you all been loving this week?  I can't get enough of StyleCaster and Cosmo on the reg along with other sites so if you see these links time and time again, then you know why.  Let me know in a comment below or send me a tweet!  Have an awesome weekend everyone!
