Totally Worth It

Hi guys.  Kinda unrelated, but now that I'm back to blogging for "fun" and not to make money, I've stopped using affiliate links.  Maybe I'm just a lazy blogger?  Anyways, onto today's post.  I'm about to share my coveted items, the things I own and feel are totally worth every penny, things I cherish and adore.  I know we're all different so the items on my list probably won't be on yours, and vice versa.  I mean I buy drugstore mascara.  I'm sure somewhere, someone is cringing at the thought.  You should also know that every pair of pajamas I own were purchased at Target, not Victoria Secret (cringe again).  Not EVERYTHING is worth spending crazy money on.  There are those items though that for whatever reason are completely worth their price.

First up.  Drum roll please...

Source, and seriously Adriana is so fricken stylish, go check her out!
Back in August I did a What's In My Bag post with my Medium Cobalt 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli (here).  I've switched bags a few times since then, but never for more than a day or two.  I keep coming back to my cobalt beauty.  She's practical, indestructible and let's not forget gorgeous.  What's not to love right.  I may ditch my drive for a new Prada all together and purchase a second Pashli in olive.  I love her that much!!!

I know, I know, $125 is a lot of money to spend on flip flops.  Unless of course you live in southern California where wearing flip flops 3/4 of the year is totally acceptable.  Tory Burch Thora flip flops will last you a good 2-3 years and suddenly the price tag seems totally reasonable.  At least it does to me. 



You read about me ripping the ass out of every pair of my jeans prior to finding Citizen of Humanity denim right.  Yeah, I'd say these are worth the money. 



Don't judge me for my over indulgent tastes.  This was a gift from a crazy generous family member :).  This sweater is literally the most luxurious thing I've ever wrapped my body up in (it better be right).  I've worn it at least 4-5 times since Christmas and I'm STALKING Nordstrom like a crazy person waiting for it to go on sale so I can pounce and buy the Charcoal.  I love you Eileen Fischer.  I love you generous family member. 



Yes please.  The little pots go with everything so you never have to worry about whether or not they'll match your home decor.  And they smell amazing!


Michael Kors watches are the best.  They're pricy but they're not crazy.  I've had my basic silver version for 5 years now and I haven't even had to change the battery.  If you haven't caught on by now, I'm lazy, and I'm really hard on my things.  Not a scratch, not an issue, my watch has stood the test of time. 


Cross my heart, hope to die (eeekkkkkk) there are no better leggings on the market than Zella leggings.  Again, these bad boys have stood the test of time.  I first discovered Zella 4 years ago and let me tell you it was love at first sight.  The fit...  Incredible.  They are durable, they don't fade, they do collect a lot of cat fur, but I imagine any pair of black pants would :).  I live in these at night after work.  They are amazing.

Ok, I'm done.  Your turn, spill the beans.  Is it pots and pans, a handbag, lipstick.  I want to know what you think is worth spending money on???

  1. I'm a SUCKER for Victoria's Secret and there's some things even IIIII won't buy from there. I gave up on their undies a long time ago. Undies are undies. That's just how it is.
    LOVE that watch!

    1. Zella leggings are beyond amazing. I've got my eye on the faux leather ones (leather look on the front, regular legging material on the back!!!).

  3. Citizen's are worth every penny! And so is my Clairsonic. It's the best thing that's ever happened to my face and I lug it with me wherever I go (it is not the compact travel one either).

    1. How long did it take before you started seeing results with your Clairsonic. I got one for Christmas and so far, I could love it or leave it. How often do you use yours???

    1. They are definitely pricy Darcy, but I can justify it given the amount of use they get. Actually all TB shoes are like that it seems. They just ware really well. Hope you're having a great day :)

  5. Love that picture of you! All my splurging goes to food and drink ;)..kidding..sort of. It just depends, I like what I like and if I really want then splurge away (but I'll think about it first).

    1. That's one of the joys of being a DINK don't you think??? I know I tend to splurge more often then my mom friends, just one of the many reason I love living child free :). Hugs friend.

  6. I love Zella. I live in an area where there is NO nordstroms (I know GASP) but I was introduced to them by my sister-in-law and could kiss her on the mouth for it. I have some pants from them I will take to my grave.

    1. Aw, Tiffany, I feel your pain. I lived in Buffalo for 3 years and the closest Nordstrom was an hour away, by AIRPLANE. Thank god for free shipping and free returns right :). Thanks so much for stopping by.

  7. Checking out those leggings now! And I'm the same way with my Tory Burch ballet flats. I figure they are worn 2/3 days out of the year so why not!

    1. Kate, if you end up getting the leggings let me know what you think. I've got my eye on the leather looking ones (leather look in the front, regular legging material in the back). Talk about taking leggings to a whole new level :). And you're right, not that I think about it all of my TB shoes have been worth their price. They just hold up so well and I find myself reaching for them all of the time. Hope you're well Kate.
