The Carrie Diaries + F21 Earrings = Fabulous Things Under 500 Bucks


Last year I reached a point where I didn't feel happy after a shopping trip unless I've spent over 8-10k. I know, it's terrible. I felt terrible. It's not about the money, but the amount of things I had to buy to feel satisfied. The more I bought, the merrier I was. That has to change this year, I thought.
Recently, I bought 2 things that made me feel good, but didn't burn a hole in my pocket. Fabulous things that I would actually use.

The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell - If you're a 'Sex and The City' fan, you have to read this.


I've just read half the book (so if you've finished it, NO SPOILERS, please :) ), and I can't put it down. It's hilarious! Carrie's dad is a hoot. I plan on finishing it tonight.
I thought I'd post the 1st chapter in case you want to read a little before buying.


A Princess On Another Planet


 Yup, there's an uptight 'Cynthia'. We hate her! =D

Next up is a pair of Forever 21 floral earrings, which I think are real pretty & girly.


The Carrie Diaries ~ Rs.299
Forever 21  earrings- Rs.199.

Total- Rs.498. Totally worth it!

  7. I am getting this book - I loved the first chapter - simply coz I have read SATC & I think it wld be a fun memory.

    Thks for putting up the 1st chapter - enjoyed reading it. The earrings are cute as well, but I liked the book better :P

    & I understand what you mean by your shopping "sprees".. was happening to me too a while ago. Then I realised I was doing it coz I was hurting over something - it was giving me a lot of grief & stress. So I went & did something about that "something", miraculously the shopping has come down drastically :) - basically I was doing emotional shopping.

    All the best girl & very brave of you to share it with us :)

  12. Well done! Sometimes, the best bargains or the simplest things can be so satisfying. Those earrings are girly all right, but they're VERY pretty! :)

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3

Thank you for reading! :)
