Obsession: Shopping Edition (link-up with Saige Wisdom)

Do you know Sara over at Saige Wisdom? You should probably go say hello because she is a funny, funny lady. And if she doesn't have you in fits and giggles - her three year old certainly will.

I told Saige not to make a mess to which she replied, "don'tcha worry girlfriend, I'll clean 'er up" #hmmm

I love a three year old with sass like that. 

So this week Sara is asking others to share their latest obsessions - shopping edition. One day we asked Kale where mama and papa go when they leave the house and he thought this over and then said "papa go exercise. Mama go shopping." So obviously, this link up doesn't sound like something I would want to participate in at all...... 

A neutral peep-toe heel. I mean, I want them....but this means my toe nails will be visible during work hours. Which means I'd have to make an effort to keep 'em pretty - no fading turquoise polish. I don't know if I can commit to that. But my standard black work heels are just not going to work in the summer...I need to take the plunge to neutral tones. I know, I'm clearly a very risk-taking fashionista. 

Early this year we re-did our living room in gray and white with the intention of adding some bursts of colour. Except now it's 6 months later and the only burst happening there is when Kale flies through on his plasma bike. I'm ready to take the leap and add some tangerine - did you know that's the 2012 colour of the year? And since Sara said we can make this list without giving our bank account any consideration, I'll take a couple of these throw pillows at $150 a pop. 

Finding sandals for a toddler should not be as hard as it has been for us this summer. I don't ask for much - closed toe and a little bit of colour. Why don't they have these super cute 'see kai run' shoes at our local kids shoe store? Better question - why do I feel guilty for not buying shoes at our local kids shoe store just because I took one baby music class with the owner?! 

Kris has been wanting an iPad for awhile, but I couldn't really get behind it. I mean, we both have iPhone's - aren't iPad's just slightly bigger versions? But I've been to a few conferences this year and pretty much everyone has one. I don't know if it's just that I want to be like all the cool kids, or I've actually been able to see how useful they are. I know Kale would probably never leave the house if we got one. 

I was so ready for #30DayOfDresses. I even wore dresses for two weeks in May as a trial to make sure I could do it. But then I woke up this morning and it was COLD and I had literally had NO IDEA that May was over and I put pants on and........ugh, fail. I'm pretty sure this Holland Oats dress from ModCloth would get me back on track. 

What are you obsessed with these days? Link up with Saige Wisdom at let us know!!!
