Future Purchase Friday

After a jobless school year of pinching pennies, I finally have a a bi-monthly paycheck, a healthy looking bank account, and a wish list of somewhat practical things. 

Here are some items that I intend to purchase in the near future:

I need a good planner. I am a thousand times more productive with a to-do list and I sleep better at night knowing that all important dates and deadlines are written down neatly. I am currently using a month by month planner that just isn't cutting it. This adorable Sarah Pinto planner has a month view, a week view, and ample space for a daily to-do list. And a price tag of only $10 ($15 including shipping). Score!

I've been using the same Asics backpack since volleyball season of my sophomore year of high school. That's five years folks. It's about time to upgrade! The mesh side pockets, multiple zippered compartments, and cushy straps make this North Face backpack look like it would be well worth the investment. 

Alas, the day has finally come that I have the desire to wear a sophisticated looking watch. I'm a fan of tortoiseshell because it can be worn with brown, black, or navy. After lusting over this beauty for a while, I can't wait to have this Anne Klein watch on my wrist. 

What do you have on your wish list?

Note (August 6, 2011): I ordered online and have already received both the Sarah Pinto planner and the North Face backpack. So far, no complaints. However, I did go to Dillards to see the Anne Klein watch in person, and thank goodness I didn't order it online. It looks nothing like the online picture; the tortoiseshell has a yellowish/greenish tint and it almost looks camo...not cute. I found tourtiseshell Fossil and Michael Kors watches that I actually liked better, but unfortunately they were way out of my budget. 
So for now I'm rocking this little number that my sweet mother picked up for me at Stein Mart: 

I googled "beige ceramic looking sillicone watch" and this is what came up. But the one I have is more beige and less goldish looking. Beige goes with everything...Love it.
