That's how long I owned my D&G sunglasses I talked about yesterday. Well. Technically I still "own" them but I'm returning them tomorrow. :) I can't handle it. Lol. I wore them today for a little bit and was terrified that I was going to scratch them or break them. I went to downtown Seattle with my brother and we went to Nordstrom Rack (awesome store.) I saw some sun glasses up front, and found another pair I liked a lot. I wouldn't say that I love them as much as the D&G's but honestly, who needs $140.00 sunglasses? These ones were marked $120.00, but I bought them for $34.00! Much better! NOW I can wear them to the barn and not be totally devastated if Denali steps on them. These ones are Mark Jacobs. Seriously though, I don't know anything about fashion. My mom actually laughed at me today when I told her that I had sunglasses that cost that much. She told me I'm not that fashioned focused. She's right.

Speaking of things that I own, that I'm not so sure that I need.... Ever bid on something on E-Bay not expecting to win? Yep. I'm good at that. I was looking for a nice pad for my saddle. I've been looking at tack shops around here and they're all....well you know how much they cost!

I bid on this at $35.00 a few days ago, and won. What do you think? Aside from the fact that it only comes in NAVY I'm pretty excited about it. I bought it from the same people who are making my bridle, so I'm hoping I can combine shipping. That would make it even better. As always though, I want your opinions! Worst comes to worst I can sell it right?
