toasty

Just bought this new coat! I just love how girly it is with it's ruffles and bow. Way too cute! I'm going to be living in it this winter.

apple of my eye p.1

Saturday, Chris and I went apple picking. I've been wanting to go ever since we moved here! It was a lot of fun and we picked a ton of apples. 20 pounds to be exact. I'm totally going to need some good apple recipes to get rid of all these things! Anyway, here are some pictures of our little adventure and some of the apple aftermath. Enjoy!

P.S. Of course I had to wear my thrifted apple dress to go apple picking. I can be so silly sometimes. lookbook time.

cherry on top

Yesterday, I scored big time on some vintage hats. I'm so excited to be adding these to my collection!!!

1. my "Arabian Nights" hat [it's hard to explain, but you get my point.]






* Please excuse our very messy office. Offices are supposed to be messy right???



2. navy blue wide brim hat that I've designated for my bathing suit outfit









3. little black hat


treasures

Monday, I decided to go thrifting on my lunch break. I didn't think I would find much in my 45 minutes to search through all those overfilled racks, but I came out with some wins. I bought myself a jean jacket, long black velvet skirt, a red wool pencil skirt, a black pencil skirt, and the darling red skirt below. The gold buttons button all the way to the bottom. I was thinking about hemming it up to my knees? I haven't decided yet though! Hmmm...

treasures

Went thrifting again this week! Here is what I found...


I actually almost ordered a belt that looked just like this! I'm glad I waited!




I love these trousers! I just need to hem them up a tinsy bit and they are good to go.






I thought this button up would be great for Spring with the chambray blue and orange stripes.

treasures

Due to the great snow, I had the honor of staying home instead of going to work. Since I was half way there before I found this great thing out, I figured I might as well make it worth while and go thrifting. Here are the treasures I found! I'm very excited about these finds!


I fell in love with this vintage coat as soon as I laid eyes on it. I'm sooo glad it fit! When I wear it I kinda feel a little glamorous...haha



Here is a long chocolate brown velvet skirt. A basic that I needed to add to my wardrobe! This picture doesn't do the justice of showing how lovely the color of this skirt is.



This pleated paisley skirt is amazing. It's from Hungary and it's a vintage!





After thrifting, I thought it would be good to work on this little fella. She is almost done!!!

thrifting treasures

So finally I stopped being a slacker and decided to attempt taking pictures of my new treasures! I say "attempt" because I was using my bfs massive pro camera that I have no clue how to operate. So, I apologize for the badly taken pictures you are about to see haha!















Here is a crushed velvet gem that I found on Sunday. I'm going to turn it into a long sleeve crop top. I'm really excited to start working on this! I love the dark purple crushed velvet with the studs. Plus, that studding on the neckline...gotta love it. I'll post pictures up when I finish it!
