absurdly peculiar

Michael Buble - Christmas I was recently on Refinery 29 reading a post about Gift Ideas. One of the comments was something along the lines of 'I don't know what world I would be living in where I would have $350 to spend on one friend.' I laughed because I am pretty much in the same boat and so I decided to create a list of gift ideas that were a little more budget friendly! I also thought it was time for a collage... I mean I haven't collaged for what, 2 posts? 1. Confetti Scarf , $8.90 - Such a great deal and something you can wear with almost anything. I think you can't go wrong with a scarf as a gift! 2. Les Petits Macarons , $18 - For the person who likes to bake/cook, cook books are a great gift idea...or books in general! I know that I have attempted to make macarons at least 3 times, and only once did them come out resembling macarons...and they still didn't look as good as the ones on this front cover.  3. Tocca Perfume , $48 - I love the smell of

So I found a new way to procrastinate: going on ASOS and creating outfits. It's actually better than shopping because 1) I don't have to try anything on and 2) I don't spend any money; therefore, no feelings of guilt are felt afterward. I love every piece of this outfit..especially the knit top!
