Do you do it? Or are you too scared to do it? I didn't think I could ever do it, but I have this upcoming trip in June that I'm taking and I need some good travel gear, and I've already purchased one bag, and oh yes, a watch, and I just ordered a new wallet, and when I deposit my paycheck tomorrow I plan to place an order for a backpack. lol, I really hope I don't develop an addiction 😛

and here's the wallet I'm waiting for to come in the mail:





It's called the "SoHo Zip Organizer Clutch" by Buxton, it's made of "Naturally Milled Butter Full Grain Cowhide" leather, and obviously I'm way too excited about a freaking wallet. But I'm obsessed with purses and wallets in a serious way. I don't know why.

And now I need some advice...I can't decide between the following backpacks; which one do you think is the cutest (if any)? lol.

The Jansport "Beam":


The Kelty "Satellite":


Now, this one I'm really in love with. It's on sale right now (normally $ 76.00 but marked down to $ 45.00!!) so I feel pressure to make a quick decision. Is my taste really weird or does anyone else like this bag too?

The Triple Five Soul Crosshatch Denim Backpack:

thanks for the compliment about my watch! I love it and plan on getting more from fossil.com. They have nifty watches. They also give you free shipping on orders over 50 bucks, so that rocks. And the reason I'm shopping is definitely to make myself feel better. And you know what? IT WORKS! LOL! The other day both my backpack purse and my watch came in the mail on the same day, and I was really super happy. 😛

And I'm almost positive I'm getting the denim one, but I keep seeing these other cool ones and it's muddling up my decision-making abilities. The thing is, is that whatever I get needs to be under 45 linear inches because I plan to use it as a carry-on bag when I fly (United's rules). And luckily, almost all backpacks (even the "large" ones like the Triple Five Soul one) will be okay as carry-ons. But I also want one that's cute that I can take to college, that place I might start going to...lol.

right on aprilbaby! Yeah, luckily I haven't had to return *anything* yet, but then I haven't bought very much yet either. I'll cry if I have to return something. lol. what a hassle. what makes me nervous about 'net shopping is that my debit card number could be out there vulnerable to evil hacker bastards. But I guess if any suspicious charges come up, all I have to do is get a new card.
