I don’t know… can I?
Oy!
I was cleaning today and realized that my jackets & coats alone take up ALL of my closet. In my defense, my closet is seriously tiny. But maybe it’s not such a bad thing to hold off on buying clothes for a while.
At the very least, it’d be great for my [...]
Posted in Goals, Saving on December 26, 2007 | 12 Comments »
After crunching the numbers and mulling over what is “aggressive but realistic” versus what is “wishful thinking,” I’ve came up with a short but ambitious list of S.M.A.R.T. goals. The big picture is simple: I will focus on saving for short- to mid-term goals (down payment, grad school, car, etc.) and continue to save for [...]

Check this out: Well-Heeled got its first media mention ever (that I know of)! And from the Wall Street Journal, no less!
Apparently this blog falls under the “juicy diaries” category.
Juicy. Personal finance. I never thought those three words would end up in the same sentence!
Congrats to Krystal, Mollie, Beachgirl, and Nicole, and Eric - [...]

Maybe some of you were able to tell from my posts that I’ve been feeling a little unsure of where I’m going lately. My previous position was a great opportunity and the pay trajectory was steep, but I realized that it wasn’t the right fit for me. I am happy to report that I have [...]

I’d like to think that I’m a good daughter, a good friend, a good girlfriend, a good colleague. I’d like to think that some day I’ll make a good wife, a good mother, and still be a good friend, a good whatever-I’m-doing. I’m a law-abiding, tax-paying, GDP-contributing member of society. Those aren’t small things. They [...]

I just spent $75 at Bloomingdales.. and prior to this day I’ve never even set foot into that store.
It’s not even for myself. One of my friends and I each got a $75 gift card to Bloomies for our assistant, who has been a LIFESAVER in more than one situation (including one weekend where he [...]

…is ending.
Just got my first bill from good ‘ol alma mater… the due date for the first payment is January 1, 2008. Happy New Year’s! Time to pay the piper!
From now until 2017, I’ll have to commit $160 every month to pay back my college loan. NOT complaining, though, I basically lucked out with an [...]

For those times when you just can’t (or don’t want to) spend $3 for a Starbucks confection (yummy as it is), go to your nearest neighborhood Borders.
They have a drink called the Cocoa Trio - and it is amazing.
For $1.55 you can get a “kid’s size” (a little bit smaller than Starbuck’s “tall” size) and [...]

I love pearls and mother-of-pearls. They can be elegant or whimsical, dressed-up or dressed-down. I am of the firm belief that a lady can never go wrong wearing pearls.
Isn’t this necklace gorgeous? Classic with an updated look. Equally appropriate for the little black dress at an office party or paired with a sweater and jeans [...]

I was driving home from work, when I got sucker-punched by the worst case of munchies. All of a sudden, I wanted to eat breakfast food. I thought I’d get an Egg McMuffin from McDonalds, but realized that it’s 1 AM in the morning - McDonalds is out.
Then, I see a light shining from the [...]
