Birthday Window Shopping
I'm just looking!
Last year I shared my totally imaginary, just-for-dreaming birthday wishlist, and it was so much fun to put together. I’m finding myself browsing spring sales and bookmarking items lately, so I figured it’s time to channel that into a curated list. Creating seasonal lists like this one help me not only save money by being particular—they also help me define my taste. Especially as I enter a new year, I like to pay attention to what makes my heart sing, even if it’s just a beautiful lipstick shade.
Join me on my frivolous window shopping spree, where some items are reasonably priced and others are just for fun. Feel free to add your own wishlist items in the comments, whether you’re looking forward to a spring birthday or not!
