I went to downtown brooklyn today to take care of my 6-week-can-you-believe-i-haven't-broken-anything-else check-up, namely with a man in a long black robe. I decided to drive, which works for and against me, as I hate driving and get agitated easily, but I was running late due to overextended sleeping. I got there early, and parked far away in Cobble Hill in a free spot on a residential street. I was the first person called, and I was OUT of the entire building before 11:00 a.m. I decided to partake in some shopping and explore the area.
I purchased: stone grey leggings, two garbage cans, a raggedy ann wig, a thong, a pumpkin spice candle, "wicked" nail polish, and a william james book. Total: around $70.00.
Things I almost purchased: a $312.00 flowery SHIRT that I was convincing myself I needed, a pair of PATENT PENNY LOAFERS (omg I'm still drooling about them) for $110.00, a purple clutch (smooth as silk) for $298.00, a pair of open toed, very high stacked heeled booties that laced and had a weave pattern on the front for $140.00, a pair of deliciously unique large earrings for $60.00, and a grape short skirt that could double for work/going out for $458.00. The cheapest clothing item in my hand all day today (after four "boutiques") was a turquoise winter jacket that I LOVE! that was $120.00 that I'm trying to get my mother to purchase for me. At some point I also almost bought three mason jars of varying sizes.
My credit card was laughing somewhere, because I LEFT IT AT HOME. However, I'm home now, and I still have that driving desire to purchase, purchase, purchase - and I'm shopping online, drinking red wine, and eating vanilla almond cereal. This is going to bad places.
I feel the need to buy this and this makes me really excited.
As a sidenote: I found the Trader Joe's out here, and I'm more in love than ever.

And a very messy store that had wonderful staff and just about anything you could want, including organic soap and halloween decorations.
P.S. Vanilla almond clusters are delicious in rice milk.
