[late-stage capitalism and all]

tellitslantI am being frugal in the face of potential expenses later this year, but if I were spending money, some of the things I would spend it on are:
Jewellery from Sofia Zakia. I bought myself this ring to mark the completion of a big project last year. Now I am eyeing something from their Medusa line: this gorgeous ring in white gold and/or this earring (probably with this earring paired with it). I also quite like their moon (phase) rings.
Replacing my laptop. I actually only bought this one about two years ago, but it's been a bit finicky honestly since I got it. The new Macbook Airs look like they'd at least have more power! If I want to get anything back for this one I ought to trade it in soonish. Plus the new ones come in black again... (my first Mac was a black Macbook back in... 2009? ish?) (This reminds me I should do a backup this weekend.)
A trip someplace for my birthday in November. But let's be real, by November I expect I won't much want to be travelling anywhere. Again.
A rowing machine. Oh, I don't have space for it, but I miss my rowing workouts.
Oh, and tattoos. Always tattoos. :P
Among the things I am budgeting towards are new furniture. I need to set up a proper home workspace, finally. Mainly I will splash out on a fancy chair, which will not be cheap. I also covet an external monitor and peripherals. I may also replace some large pieces of furniture that aren't really Toronto-condo-size-appropriate - in fact, they are both on my main floor because they couldn't fit up the stairs. And I also have soooo many things I want to frame!
I haven't been completely denying myself all treats, of course. I accidentally spent $100 on candles last weekend. Well, you know, it happens. :P And I just replaced/updated some of the cutlery I inherited from my grandmother (not from that site, but that shows the pattern). I was very reluctant to take this silverware when I moved, but I'm so pleased now that I did and I wish I'd taken more of it. But hooray for the internet. Plus I caved and bought another month of Audible so I could get thirty more hours of Rosamund Pike reading me to sleep. NO REGRETS. And now I should go and do said sleep thing.
What have you treated yourself to of late? What would you buy if money were no object?
