In the Bag

I always wonder what other people tote around in their bag....So I thought I would share with you what I have in mine! Here is what I have been carrying around all summer with me in my vintage white bag. 

1). boscia green tea blotting linens (great for sensitive skin).

2). Tums also made it into the bag. Just in case the dreaded pregnancy heartburn kicks in.

3). eos lip balm in strawberry sorbet.

4). NARS larger than life lipgloss in Spring Break. It is a nice easy neutral color to wear anytime.

5). My mini purple wallet free thanks to Sam Edelman showroom. 

6). Planet Blue hair tie, never leave home without one.

7). iphone in a bright & cheery yellow case.

8). Chanel double perfection compact in Medium Beige great to blot the shiny nose.

9). Cherry flavored jolly ranchers, or what's left of them.

10). Mini Smashbox eyeliner (charcoal grey) left over from a Christmas gift set. I love being able to apply a subtle cat eye at anytime in the day.

11). Mini hair clips to pin black flying hair.

Piercing Pinks

Apparently I am drawn to all things pink these days. I hadn't noticed until, I was packing up my suitcase getting ready to head back west. See for yourself all the pink I recently added to my life. Maybe pink is my new favorite color....move over green this piercing color seems to be warming my heart.

Hidden Treasures- In the Closet

My love for thrift storing doesn't just include home-goods, it actually started with jewelry, handbags & clothing. I am a firm believer that if you are willing to hunt/ put a little work into some things; you can find fabulous & unique pieces. Last week I waited in line (yea I really did) for the doors to open for a half-off sale at one of my favorite thrift stores. Here are some of the amazing things I scooped up.

{Unbelievable grey-toned bell sleeved fur, I died.}

{Faux fur easy to wear jacket.}

{Can't even deal with this brown zip up fur vest, I think it was made for me. Can you tell I fancy vintage fur?!}

{Dreamy tiny cross-body black bag, perfect for handsfree dancing.}

{Scrumptious black fold over clutch, classic.}

These items I found at a local vintage store, Champion Jacks.

{Love this Yumi Kim-like pattern, I will be hemming this baby into a mini dress}

{Amazing gold detail trim along the neckline.}

{Pendleton inspired patterned cross-body bag, which can turn into a clutch/oversized wallet.Soooooo perfect.}

{Thick, heavy, warm, colorful zip up navajo inspired sweater}

{I have been searching for this detailed bead top all my life, for real. I will be rocking this with mint colored denim and sky high platforms.}
