what i didn't buy today

this may end up being a weekly (or if i am being honest with myself, daily) column about the things i am not allowing myself to buy, but would really really really really like to have.  i am putting myself on a bit of a spending hiatus which, lets be real, is very necessary (helloooo graduate school loans... am ex bill from very necessary but very expensive trip to europe... not going away on their own!).  ok, so here it is for today, what may or may not have jumped in my cart but what will not be shipped to either my home or office address:
