If online window shopping counted as exercise..

If online window shopping counted as exercise:
1. I'd never have to watch what I eat again.
2. I would have so many Weight Watcher Activity Points per week!

To think, I spend more time researching and saving items in "My eBay" on eBay and "Favorites" on Etsy. Tell me I'm not alone! How many of us actually pull the trigger and buy our marked items? Most of the time I forget to bid or buy.. Then I end up kicking myself for not making the purchase! Recently I've lost several bids on some very chic items.. What do I do? Search and search to see if the items will magically appear again. They don't. I also imagine how grand the item would look with this outfit or that outfit. Too funny! I'm not talking about expensive items.. Many of the itmes are under $20.00. Moral of my story.. as Nike says, "Just do it!" If you see an item and start imagining outfits and going to events with that piece, go for it and buy it!

Lately I'm hooked on belts. I grew up in the 80's; my Mom and I had every belt style and color imaginable! It's so funny to see the exact same belts are popular again. Accessories at about.com has a great preview of Spring 2009 belts. http://accessories.about.com/od/belts/tp/belts-for-spring.htm These bring back memories. I'm very excited to see belts making a huge comeback! If only Mom and I stored all of our belts twenty years ago, we would have a huge modern/vintage collection!

Here are some of my favorites:

Have fun building your "new" belt collection for Spring 2009!
