I love getting a manicure and pedicure! What girl doesn't love to be pampered?

So, I was more than excited to hear that one of my all-time favorite clothing and accessory collections, J. Crew, partnered with the nail polish gurus at Essie to create four oh-so-fabulous nail colors for         J. Crew customers-only!

These four shades compliment J.Crew's holiday collection, which is overflowing with glamour, sparkles, studs and shine. And while my husband wants to keep me on a "budget" this holiday season, he can't dare complain about $20 nail polish.

What's your favorite nail polish this holiday season? Tell us about it!!!

You've probably heard me say this 100 times, but "we're on a budget." My studly husband is back at Columbia Business School for his second and final year. I am back to being the bread winner.

While he's in school, I've promised to limit my spending to one splurge per month, which is VERY difficult to do! It requires a lot of self-restraint, and I've found that it's best to leave all credit cards at home to avoid temptation. I am horrible at dieting, whether it involves giving up chocolate cake or limiting spending, but I am giving it my all.

However, I can of course "splurge" once in a while and still hunt for those beauty and fashion "steals" that rarely come around. After a rough day, I love to spoil myself with the little things, like a lip color here, a nail polish there.

I've just discovered my new September splurge! Okay, perhaps there is more than one...

What are your September splurges and steals?
