checks and balances

it's been (and will continue to be) an expensive couple of weeks, what with moving into a new place and all the gas and electric setups you don't want to, but have to pay for. and although i have attempted to cut back expenses on the more frivolous side of the scale, my imagination never stops spending! so to ease back into my blog after my internet hiatus, a week review of things i want, but simply cannot afford (yet!). payday will be more glorious than ever before.

1.impressively large and full of both textual and photographic content, this book takes a long hard stare at me everytime i pass it. and at a whopping $75.00 on the barnes and nobles bookshelf, i quickly run past it because my wallet is shoving me towards the more (sometimes) affordable magazine rack. but i can't fight it any longer! my fascination with stylists and their immense importance in creating a distinct image makes me feel more justified in my purchase, and, well, that's all i need really. sold! (after my next paycheck that is).

have i ever wanted a book enough to pre-order it? not really. except now. because i have a sick obsession with the sartorialist just like everyone else, which means that i really do need this book. it makes sense. i swear.
