Over the past few days I have been style spotting like crazy on the packed streets of NYC. My mind has been racing thinking of all of the things I need and want! However, in order to live in Manhattan you must learn the true meaning of living on a budget. Therefore I have decided to share instead of shop. I think it’s a good resolution right?

Instead of splurging on a few things I don’t need to purchase right now, I am making a list and sharing it with you all. Down the road when I really, really must have that bag or pair of shoes, I can add it to the list, share it, and then attempt to afford it. For now, the thought of a new pair of sneakers really has me tempted, but I’ll stick with my walking shoes until I’ve worn them in a bit.

For any of you ready and willing to get your hands on a Friday 5 item, here are few ideas to get you started on the list!
