Adventures in Thrifting...

Hello lovelies, happy friday! What did you guys get up to last night? Judging from the pictures above, it's probably pretty clear what I did... went thrifting!

There's nothing greater than a good thrift-sesh, and no one better to share it with than my dear friend Jen... Isn't she lovely? She did most of the photo taking, but check her out in that 90s green suede blazer: aaaa-mazing! I was super disappointed when she didn't end up buying it because it was seriously made for her... *sigh*

I myself always gravitate towards pieces from the 80s/90s (surprise, surprise), and couldn't resist trying on a "Magic Moments" blazer (that's seriously the brand!), a cropped red suede jacket with shoulder pads galore, and a buttery oversized jacket that Jen affectionately referred to as a "creamsicle." Throw in some fun shoes (metallic gold loafers anyone?) and a cute home accessory, and you've got yourself a rocking Thursday night! xx

Wardrobe Wednesday...

Photobucket

Hi lovelies! What do you think of this weeks WW item? Now before you go and get excited over this vintage Chanel bag, I'm going to burst your bubbles and tell you that I'm not 100% sure of its authenticity... Actually no, that's not true, I'm pretty sure it's not legit. I bought it about five years ago from a vintage shop that convinced a very young and naive me that it was real... "Look at all the markings on the hardware," they said. "You can tell that it's authentic from the quality leather used." On and on they went until I was not only convinced, but actually excited to shell out the $100+ for my little lie of a handbag... I'm not bitter, I swear.

Have you guys been duped when it comes to designer goods before? Please tell me I'm not alone here... xx
