What I've Got My Eyes On #1


So, I am definitely a shopaholic. 
I especially love online shopping and enduring the anticipation for packages in the mail!  So here are three things I am currently waiting on as of yesterday:

Grafea Timeless Classic leather briefcase in black.
Tobi Double Take Dress in navy
Tobi Transition Heels in black.
I have an ONA Brooklyn leather camera bag in Chestnut, but it isn't big enough to fit my laptop.  It is meant for a camera and lenses, after all.  While I do have a DSLR with a detachable lens that could fill this bag up, I have a more compact camera bag to store and carry it in.  I did take a look at ONA's messenger bags that are intended to fit laptops and such, but Grafea's leather briefcases (as they call them) were cheaper, does not charge tax after the initial price tag (tax is included in the price tag in the UK, where Grafea is located), and shipping is free for orders over $150.  Though, ONA offers free shipping for orders over $100.  Regardless, the Grafea leather briefcase works out better for me.  The particular one I ordered was on sale with $40 off the original price, fit my needs for my laptop, and qualified for free shipping.  It's also black, which goes with everything.  I went through a goth phase in high school, so I'm just naturally drawn to that color.
The navy Tobi dress I purchased specifically for two upcoming events: this leadership cruise that accepted my application for an invitation hosted by a Seattle public accounting firm at the end of the month, and for a friend's wedding next month.  Obviously, the wearing of the dress is not strictly to those two events.  I can wear it to more semi-formal events and dates and what-have-you.  And then the Tobi pumps I figured would go good with the dress since the cruise is being hosted by a big accounting firm.  It is also suitable for wearing to my job as a front desk receptionist, for interviews and job recruitment events, maybe more date nights, etc.  With it being black and closed-toe, I feel it's fashionably versatile.
Also, Tobi.com is doing this promotion right now where you can get 50% off your first order!  They also provide free shipping and returns, and they do not charge taxes either!  My order is expected to arrive within 3-5 business days on free shipping - that sounds pretty good to me!  And 50% off is such a good deal.  If I had more time, I would have waited until I didn't have other financial obligations and go on a huge spree on a payday.
I will most definitely post reviews after receiving and using these items!
