Top 2 Tuesday : Top 2 Splurges

This week Taylor is using one of the topics I suggested - Top 2 Splurges- how fun! I pride myself on being a "saver" but believe me, I do have a handful of things I splurge on....
Myself, my Canadian bud Christina and Alicia at a local Jamaican bar

1. One of my favorite splurges is vacations. I don't want to sound like a spoiled brat, but for as long as I can remember I've been fortunate to go on atleast 1 vacation a year. I will gladly forfeit one $20 meal a week in order to save for a vacation (seriously, save $20 a week and you will have enough for a nice all-inclusive getaway!) 
My dear friend Mandi and myself in Playa del Carmen (a few years back when gaucho's were in style!)

ChrisChris & I in St.Thomas - pardon my crazy hair, it was a bit breezy!


2. My other favorite splurge is denim. When I was younger I was a stick, and had the hardest time finding jeans to fit me. Now I've got some badonkadonk and covet a well-fitting pair of jeans! My favorites are Hudson, Seven for all Mankind and Paige Premium Denim. 
I don't mind paying upwards of $150 for jeans because I definitely get my wear out of them! The way I figure it, I would rather spend $200 on a pair of jeans I love that I'll wear 20 times than $40 on a pair I will only wear once or twice!

My other close splurges are:
3. Good quality liquor, I work for a distributor so I've become a sort of liquor snob. When I'm out I don't want a drink made from well liquor I want brands that I enjoy!

4. Watches - love love love Michael Kors watches. I've been eyeing the new black ones!

5. Fabric of course - I love buying gorgeous fabrics that I get to turn into pretty little quilts!


What are your favorite splurges? Head over to Tay's blog and link up! I can't wait to see what everyone else has to say!

Hahaha...omg, I so remember gaucho's! Ha! I don't know why I ever wore them- they made me look so fat!

MK has wonderful watches!! Great taste, Chelsea!

I LOVE MK watches - I bought one last year and I've gotten more compliments about that than any jewelry!

Agh! I need a nice vacay! I could save the money, but who's gonna watch the kid?!?! LOL Great post!

Molly said...

Great picks girl! LOVE vacations! Right after I read about you saving $20 a week, I went and stuck a 20 in a hidden spot. I'm totally doing that for the rest of the year, thanks girl :)

vacations and jeans are GREAT things to splurge on. Nothings better than a perfect fitting pair of jeans OR a nice get away!

Andrea said...

Caroline said...

Love your suggestion and pics. There's nothing like a great vacation and a great pair of jeans!

Alissa said...

Cograts on Taylor using your suggestion this week and you know that does make sense on the jeans. Great suggestions for brands I get so confused in the jean department and I never find the right pair. I might have to look into your choices.

Jordan said...

Kristin said...

Where have you been all my life. I'm totally socking away $40 a week for the hubs and I. Maybe I can surprise him with a vacay next year. Thanks lady!
