Spending

The hiatus has been over for a while, but I really haven't done much shopping. I did order some sunglasses from Zenni, prior to the Greece trip (numbers 4 + 5, in case you were wondering). And there were some summer dresses from  Old Navy and F21, which have gotten quite a bit of use.

And recently, a funny little hodgepodge of high and low ...

{purchases}

Cheap fix:  L'oreal collagen mascara - Miss B recommended it and then I stumbled on it in the store not two days later, on sale for 50% off. Fate, obviously. It's pretty fantastic. My lashes are long, so I need something that makes them look thicker without being clumpy or spider-leggy. This works.

Serious indulgence:  Catherine Weitzman gold coral reef bangle - I'm a bangle person, choosing them over almost any other form of jewelry even though the selection is often limited. I actually got this on sale for half off, but it's only available full price now. It's gold vermeil, so it isn't quite as bright as pure gold but I love it.

Justifiably useful:  Ikea dishtowels - Total impulse purchase, just because I love Ikea textiles and dishtowels come in handy. These are nicer in person - this angle doesn't show much.
