Planner and Decor Haul

So, I have done some (meaning way too much) shopping recently, and I thought it might be fun to let you all in on some of the purchases I have made that are slightly atypical for me!  Usually when I shop I am focused on buying obnoxious amounts of clothing and makeup which I most certainly do not need.  Instead, I have recently been purchasing obnoxious amounts of room decor and planner accessories, that I also do not need!
Along with the clothing and makeup...
Good trade off right?

Target
The first store I hit up (twice actually) was Target.  You guys, that dollar section at the front of the store gets me every time! It is like a vortex that slowly sucks you in until you are buying fairy wands and bowls with straws and believing that these things have completely legitimate purposes!

A bought quite a few things from that dollar section on this trip, including: Chevron Burlap ribbon, a bronze cut out candle holder, a metal bucket, and polka dot coasters!


The burlap I have used as a runner on my bookshelf, under the candle holder!  To be a dollar each, they have made very cute fall (and possibly beyond) decorations!


The coasters I saw the first time I was in Target, carried them around, and then changed my mind because I didn't think I needed them.  When I got home I noticed the water rings on my bedside table... therefore coasters were purchased.
The bucket has yet to find a place or a purpose, but it's cute!

I also ended up buying a few random things, which consequently, were the only things bought out of the dollar section!

I bought two tank tops that can be worn in the Summer, or layered in the Fall, as well as a gap shoulder shirt that I have been loving!  All of which were on sale, the only way I like things!
Finally, I also bought a Rimmel Matte Kate Lipstick in Rosetto

Michael's
I truly love this store...  


This first things I bought, which I plan to use to decorate my planner!
There were so many to choose from, but I finally decided on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Mickey Christmas Sticker books!
See the Mickey one in the middle?  I plan to use those during the week we go to Disney!
Planner Stickers on Etsy are crazy expensive, and you don't have to have those to make your planner cute!

In the decorating department I bought a "B", because I am the epitome of white girl, and it was $1.50

My random purchases from this store included blank cards that were on sale, because I'm a horrible person and still haven't written thank you notes for graduation presents, and an adorable glass cup!

Walmart
For some reason, my Walmart has had crazy sales on some furniture items recently!

My room is crazy dim, and I have been wanting to buy a lamp for a while, but have just never gotten around to it.  I was going through the sale section and found this 5'11" silver lamp (which I put together myself) for $5!  To be a cheap Walmart lamp, it helps the lighting in my room tremendously.

I also bought Candy corn to out in a dish in my room as decoration, because it tastes like sugary wax and I don't recommend eating...

I am so incredibly in love with this Etsy shop, I just placed my third order this week, and my second ever was within the past month! 
My planner is an addiction which I just can not overcome...
But do I really want to?


In the second order I placed I bought: Disney Countdown Stickers(middle), 50 random punches(bottom), a pocket and washi planner kit(top left), a Christmas punches and washi planner kit(top right) and a random washi sample card(top middle), and a sticker sample gift from her(right middle)!

I placed my third order through a crazy Facebook sale she was having.  I ordered a Cupcake/washi/sticker planner kit, and Halloween washi tape, which I haven't received yet to take a picture of!

If you would like to see my first order ever from this shop check out this post!

And that is basically all I have bought!
Though I shop on the cheap, I have done entirely too much of it recently and I need to stop...  But I'm so excited about all I have gotten, and definetly suggest checking these things out!

Let's Talk...

I feel so bad, I have been such a flake with posting recently and the past month is when I should have been really focused on getting out content, because.... My summer classes started this week. And they are intense. Like, more so than I expected and I'm only a week in. Also, I just got my Summer schedule for the daycare I work at, and instead of my normal 9:30-5:30, I was switched to  6:00-12:30 ...  That is a huge difference, I've never gotten up that early in my life!  It is a lot better in some ways because I now have my full days free, but it's a difficult sleep schedule to get used to.   As a result, I've been spending my mornings at work, and my evenings doing homework, or attempting to have a social life...  This is my last Summer before college after all, so I want to have fun!  But it just makes things more difficult when I need to be in bed early for work, balance homework, and then there is this blog. I love having this...

2014-2015 Plum Paper Planner!

This is my new  Plum Paper Planner , and is most definitely one of my favorite possessions right now!  It came packaged like this...  I got  this  design, and added on an extra six months, making it an 18 month planner.  That was the really cool thing about this company, everything is customizable.  You can get your name and monogram on certain planner designs for free, you can add extra months like I did, add extra notes pages, budget pages, and more!  The standard planner with an extra six months was $48.75, which was pretty expensive... but it was a Christmas present, and will last me through the first year of college, so I could justify it! It has tabs on the side, which are laminated and reinforced  One of the first pages in the planner is a full 2015 planner, and on the next pages a 2016 calendar.  Each month begins with two note pages, which...
