Bag Lady

HI!!

So I wanted to update you all on my new project.... Handmade Bags!

My lovely mother bought me a new sewing machine and saved me from having to hand stitch everything (thanks Mom!).

The sewing machine is a Singer 2263; super easy to maneuver and thread! I am totally in love.

As you all know, I have a deeply rooted passion for thrifting. Surprisingly, I found yards of beautiful fabrics there. I picked up three yards of denim, two yards of Burnt Coral corduroy and two yards of neon yellow rayon for about $12!! I also bought a bag of vintage buttons for $4.99.

Anywho, check out the pictures!

Lace Bomb

Hey now!!

I just had to share the dress I purchased on my most recent thrift trip. It was $5... I love it. Being that it is totally see through, I put a black mini jersey dress underneath. Next time, I'll try a brown one that matches my skin ;)

And, of course, I paired it with Jeffrey Campbell's Lita boots...boom.

THAT IS ALL

Have a beautiful night folks...

Peace&Love

HI!

So, I couldn't wait to style this blazer! Today, I paired it with another thrifted item. I purchased this silk leopard button down for $6. It's been sitting in my closet and I was FINALLY able to put it to use! The two were a nice contrast. The pants are a high-waisted cotton rifing pant that i picked up for $10 at Forever21 awhile back (no longer available). I was super comfortable in this ensemble, head to toe. As for my shoes, I rocked out a pair of Jeffrey Campbell's Lita boots in black leather. These boots are a splurge at $160 but by FAR one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I've owned to date.

Thrifty Thursday

Hello All!

It's Thursdaaaay!! I would like to welcome you to the first Thrifty Thursday post! Allow me to showcase a few treasures I came across on a very recent thrift run. Most items in the store were 50% off. Everything else? DIRT CHEAP!

The leather vest has a tag price of $5.95 but was 50% off... I purchased it for under $3!

The Cosby sweater caught my eye with the beautiful blend of neutral colors and splash of green. It's a men's sweater yet fits my body perfectly. It's tag price was $4.95; it was the most expensive piece I purchased on this day =)

Lastly, the Gucci long sleeve. It is a beautiful shade of burgundy with monogram web design. It is in pristine condition and was only $1.95. There are no words... check out the pictures!

Until next time <3

Azul

I'm happy! This blazer brings a whole new meaning of "I've got the blues"... I am in LOVE with the color and fabric of this piece. It looks like tweed but gives a lighter wear. It has thin shoulder pads (non-removable) which gives more shape to the look.

Here, I paired it with black jean shorts (I made!), floral print tights (Betsey Johnson) and my all time fave black,open-toe platform heels (Jessica Simpson).

This AMAZING necklace was a Christmas gift (thanks Mom) ordered from Karmaloop.com. It's coral color was a great contrast to the cobalt blazer. It features various brass tone charms and I LOVE IT!

Enjoy!

XOXO

I'm Blazin'!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!

It's been so long since I've posted... Won't happen again...PROMISE!

Anywhooo, I had an A-MAZNG thrift run today! I visited a shop tucked secretly between a few tall buildings, and BOY did I strike gold! I had to show you all a few gems I scored today. I picked up these two blazers, tried them on and DIED. The red is a light cranberry color (doesn't appear so in pictures). It was a whopping $2.95. Did I mention it's from Nordstrom?...Yeah... I know!!! The cobalt blue blazer is made of tweed-ish material; it has the look without the rough feel. Total must have at $1.95. Check them out!

Styling of the two coming soon :-)

Nifty Thrifty Night Swirl

I wanted to post a look with items from my favorite place: the thrift store =)

The top is a rather large, flowy top. It buttons down and features beautiful swirls of animal print and flowers. I am a huge fan of large tops made of lighter textured materials; they can be worn with virtually any type of bottom (skirts, shorts, relaxed or tightly fitting jeans, leggings, etc.). This top was a must have for me at only $1.95.

The bag is thrifted as well. It is a clutch with a shoulder chain option. The bag features flat black sequins and gold toned hardware. I love it! This bag was a steal at only $4.

(My jeans in this picture are Relaxed Skinnies from Levis.com- $32.)
