We all have our weaknesses, and FitSugar would say those are what make us all human. She asks you to share your health confessions so that you can admit and move on, and that's exactly what I'm asking you to do: Share the last item you'd consider a splurge and then get back on track with your better spending habits!

1My last major splurge was a pair of Frye leather riding boots last fall.
2Fiorentini and baker leather "ego" boots. I love them.
3I just bought a slingbox...but my next big splurge is going to the be iPhone.
4I bought 4 handbags today. 3 from MZ Wallace and 1 from Kate Spade. I couldn't help myself!
5Okay..the real question is who makes those purple shoes, they are so hot.
I haven't made a big splurge but I do want to buy a Louis Vuitton soon
6My latest splurge was paying my dentist. *sigh* While it involves something beautiful I get to wear every day, I would've rather it was a pair of shoes.
7RENT.
822 inch flatscreen computer monitor
9I'm leaving in 10 minutes to buy some new furniture!
10A "backup dress" for a wedding I am going to this weekend. I already have one, so I definitely splurged on the second.
11major splurge...a new black leather Juicy Couture handbag. But, it was my bday gift from hubby! A selfish splurge....a new Ed Hardy tee.
12I don't remember my last splurge, honestly. I'm generally a pretty frugal person and I ask for splurge-y items for my birthday or Christmas.
But I do have to ask, where can I find those shoes on the right? The one with the ribbon.
13Lately, I've developed a penchant for fitted cardigans -- cardigans with a flattering feminine shape. I've been collecting them for spring and summer. I want them in every color. I especially love cardigans made of natural fibers -- feels so good.
Before that, I purchased a one and half carat ceylon sapphire ring. It was in my favorite color -- powder sky blue. Gorgeous.
14My entire wedding. Tens of thousands of splurge dollars. And it was all fabulously worth it!
15I found all of those items on shopstyle. Glad you're enjoying the shoe eye candy!
16A classic Burberry trench coat back in April -- I thought long and hard about that purchase (I'll get years of use out of it since I just moved to San Francisco!). Plus, I used money from my 2007 year end bonus on it. The rest of the bonus went to my IRA and high-interest savings, so I didn't feel too guilty!
17A Nintendo Wii and a couple games. I paid for 2/3rds of it on credit, so it wasn't the best of financial choices, but I had been obsessing over it for months to the point where it was really getting ridiculous and annoying. I'm very happy I got it, since it helps me unwind after work, it's something that my husband and I can enjoy together, and I've been getting toned from Wii Fit (which I got for free). But hopefully that will be my last splurge item for a while. I do still regret that I got it with credit, though.
18a new camera
19I jsut bought a dooney and bourke purse. I had a hard time buying but I love it and have wanted it for a while.
20tuition for college. lets hope it pays off in the end!
21I bought a Marc by Marc Jacobs sweater a few months ago, and that was a splurge for me. I saw a Zac Posen bag I really wanted that was on sale last weekend -- down to $799 from $1299.. which I suppose would have been a "great deal" but I decided I'd rather have rent money for the month.
22Coach Leigh leather bag in citron, way overpriced at almost $700, but so the bag of my dreams. And besides, I'll carry it for a long time, so I'll get my mileage out of it
23Two trips - one to Montreal and Quebec City, one to San Francisco.
24I spent 200 bucks online at American Apparel and I bought the "Carrie" studded belt online at Patricia Field for $105.
25A Marc Jacobs wallet and a Blackberry
26Tom Ford "Sabine" sunglasses. It was a pair that were finally big enough for my face and the right shape. Plus it was my only "impractical" purchase with graduation money.
27This post is very relevant since it's National Splurge Day! The last big splurge I made was on a Pamela Hanson photograph of Veronica Webb. It's original art, but it was sure expensive!
28I'm splurge adverse (the regret usually kills the enjoyment for me). But, I'd have to say my last splurge was an expensive dinner. I cannot regret a yummy and fun dinner.
29A really nice new carry-on bag. Splurge-worthy, it should last me a long time.
30All I can think is "what handbag is that? Where is the LINK TO IT?"
That said, my latest splurge was a handbag at the Coach Outlet. Spent more than an Average Handbag, but WAY less than an Average Coach Handbag. *shrug*
31A beer and dinner with some friends tonight! Nothing fancy, but with gas and food and housing prices, it was a (fun) splurge!
32Just bought a new LCD HDTV
33I feel you Liberty! I just bought myself an Orla Kiely bag. I can't tell you the last time I bought myself a purse. I love it!
34I just bought a wii and a wii fit, totaling more than I want to say since neither are readily available yet, but I consider both to be a good investment... or so I keep telling myself.
35I don't mean to offend anyone by this post, but I do think we gals need to get our priorities in order. There hasn't been much posted about women getting together for a nosh, and that worries me. A new pair of shoes, or a bag, may last a season or two. Friendships last much longer.
364 pairs of shoes (in total under $100)
They are super cute and one of the
pairs was Steve Madden patent leather cork wedge that look so great!
37A cute cropped, swing jacket. It was only $88-, but usually diapers & baby food win out over anything "fun" any day. So I splurged for my 30th birthday & bought myself something trendy & oh so cute!
38Just bought the Prada Fairy Bag...and I heart it so!!
39Coldplay concert tickets. Ohhh, sweet joy =)
40But Fuzzles, I never feel the need to all out splurge with my friends. We enjoy doing things together that don't cost a ton of money, like eating a really good meal at home, going out to see a movie, or doing a little road trip.
41My Wii Fit & NKTOB concert tickets! *sigh* I just couldn't resist!
42Tickets for In the Heights on Broadway.
43I bought a new living room full of furniture (split with the BF). I haven't been able to get myself to buy anything as a treat since then... still need to pay it all off! Thank god for interest-free financing.
44Also, I did pre-pay 6 months at my gym yesterday, which was like $200. But it's only $30/month, so I don't really consider it a splurge!
Took a bit of a shopping spree with the girls a couple weeks ago. No big ticket items per say, but it definietly wasn't in the budget..
45i bought a teensy vial of Fresh perfume on ebay. it cost $8, but it was still an impulse treat.
46A DiModolo Necklace for $3K~~~~
47A DiModolo Necklace for $3K~~~~
48Nothing major, a few NES games on eBay about a month ago.
49I bought myself a new dior eyeshadow quad, an ojon hair care set, and some new work clothes for the job I don't have yet! mini splurges, but enough to make me feel better about being laid off/terminated/fired. Got to boost my confidence for my interviews
