Ahhh!

I truly can't find the words for how much I adore these shoes. I don't know what brand they are - only that I found them on Face Hunter. I need these glorious pieces of foot art.

New Spring & Summer wardrobe additions

Spring in Oregon is usually rainy. It's mid June and we have already had record waterfall for the month. What gives Mother Nature? Perhaps that is why I have not been as inclined to boost my wardrobe with too many new items. (also I'm on a strict budget until my F-YOU Visa party).

Below are the only non-pillaged items to enter my home in the last few months. I plan on getting good wear out of them for when the warmer weather finally shows up. And I have already learned how to layer them since today is June 16th and our high is in the 50's.

So I've been doing really good with shopping local and thrifted. I went into Target for some cleaning supplies and ended up buying two pieces. Which I felt bad about, but I figure it isn't too bad since they are the only two clothing items purchased from them in the last 4 months.

First being this skirt. It's comfy, the waist stretches a shit ton, and it has a lot of movement. I couldn't find the colorway I got online, but it was similar to this print, but only black and white. $17.99

The second thing I picked up at Target was this lightweight cotton sundress. Has a lot of movement as well and nice little pockets in the pleats. My only gripe (and it is a consistent one of Target) is when they grade their sizes beyond a size 8/10 the strap placement gets super weird. The back straps on mine are at least 1.5" away from my bra straps on my back in the middle. You would think they would check that kind of thing. But for $24.99 perhaps not.

On to things I have bought locally. I love this jewelry line, Plume. The earrings are nice and light on the ears, and well put together. I picked up the green pair on the left at Union Rose. Plus it matches the above sundress perfect! $22.00

One problem I have with dropping off dresses I make at Pin Me, is that I usually leave with a new one. Thus was the case last night. But hey, I love my cute new Gentle Fawn dress I have on today. Even though it is with leggings and a sweater. $89.00

I am also wearing another pair of earrings that I bought at Union Rose. The line, Seaworthy, is new to the shop and I LOVE it. They are also super light, which is something I value in my bodangles. $32.00

Now if the weather would shape up, I would love to ditch the sweater and leggings!

Bigger is always better!

Here is a pair of platform heels that I picked up while in Nuremberg. I find that I am incredibly attracted to the platform variety of shoes. They are damn sexy and always make a statement - even if it's a jeans and t-shirt kinda day.

Best new Carry-All!

So I have a lot of posting to do! I have been slacking so much that I now have dozens of new thrift finds / wants to post of your viewing pleasure. This is a bag that I found at a local thrift shop along with my Nashion partener in crime, Alyson. Perfect for a lap top, drawing pads, more shopping...

Coming to you from the land of WTF...

Some of the best things you find at the thrift stores are not the treasures, but the WTF items. I have found that I have trouble going with my friend Carolyn because we giggle waaaaaaaaay too much. She also likes to scare me with the creepy dolls that are reminiscent of this:




In the realm of WTF, I hereby proclaim this the most WTF item I have ever encountered in all of my pillaging. Behold!
So, let's review. We have a large plastic "frame" with center missing. At the bottom there are angels reading what I assume is the Bible. On the sides we have 2 unicorns. In the center, the earth. Clearly this must be how the world was created.

Now I must find an equally amazing photo to put in the most amazing frame of ALL TIME.

Sweet!

This is one of the best pieces of jewelery I have found in the last decade. My built in homing devices spotted it upon entering the store. Not sure of the era, but I'm guessing '40's. If anyone has a better guess on it's age, I'd love to hear it. It's made of copper, and I have worn it damn near every day since I found it. $12.99

9 to 5 dress

Some times I feel like I may have stolen some of the wardrobe from 9 to 5.

(wait, I want all those dresses!)

Anyway, this little number was $4.99.
