A Touch of Vintage

This morning, Rhonda and I headed over to the vintage sale. I was running a little late so once we got there a lot of the great items I saw on Thursday, including the outfit I put together, were already gone.  

But never fear we still found some great items. 

First I got this necklace, its gold and the beads are wood. Its pretty long and can be doubled up, $2.50.

Next, I got these black and gold cameo earrings. They are pretty old looking, and they are "clip-ons" but really the back screws tighter to hold the earring in place, $2.50

Last I got a dark blue with gold accent clutch, $5.

So in all I did pretty well. There were some gorgeous vintage dresses, but I had no real use for them, other than admiring how pretty they were.

Rhonda also bought some things...

She got a tie for her boyfriend Scott, $1. 

I love the abstract floral print on it!

Rhonda also got this great cross body bag, its a really pretty grey color, $5.

 She wanted to add a little something to it, so we found this really cute red rose pin $2. 

This weekend had gorgeous weather.  I went to the football game Saturday, it was really nice in the stadium.  Today was a great day to do a little shopping and then just laze around the house catching up on things. 

Late for a Date

I was just looking back to the first few posts on my blog. It will have been a year in July. I'm upset with myself that I took so many months off when school was in session and neglected the blog. I see it as more of a mission to continue on and continue updating if only to look back and see what I found interesting at any give point in my life.
Anyways, I must have found this necklace from Modcloth pretty interesting. Looking back I came across a post I did in August of 2009. It was a things I want post... and it was a necklace that I never got around to buying when it was in stock and it was constantly going out of stock. Anyways, when I was in New York, we went to this store that sold a lot of costume jewelry (which I love). I remembered the little sister had been wanting a pocket watch necklace... so being the amazing sister I am, I went on a search for one for her. I found one and brought it home, only to find out she had ebayed herself one.

Now the one I found was way awesome, so I decided to keep it for myself, and she could borrow it when she wanted to. I was searching Modcloth the other day to see if I found anything good (which of course I would), and I found the necklace... same exact one! and the one I bought was $10 cheaper and I didn't have to get it shipped or wait for them to get it in stock. How awesome is that... Good things come to those who wait.
So on that note, I have to thanks those who have stuck around and encouraged me to keep blogging (mom and Sarah)... you waited for my little diary to get back on track... so now I must reward you with some good posts.... hopefully I can deliver.

Wish list!

I am constantly shopping online, and I have started to accumulate a wish list of things. Most times I will never buy some of this stuff... but I certainly do love to look at them. 

(500) Days of Summer Soundtrack- My friends and I went to see this movie the other day, and we fell in love with it and the accompanying music. 

Old and New Pocket Watch Necklace- I think I have been wanting one of these since probably last year... I just haven't bought one yet. I have really fallen in love with this one from Modcloth, but currently its out of stock... So I think I plan on getting it once its in stock again. 

Incase computer sleeve- I found this one the other day while i was browsing Notcouture.com. Its a black computer sleeve with safety pins on it! I love it, but just not for its price at $83.95, so I think i will just settle on looking at it. 

OPI Espana- I don't know if you know this but I love Nail polish and I have a small collection of it... But I love OPI's new Espana collection... the colors are so dark and gorgeous I can't wait to get some from the collection! 

Peep-Toe Wedges- I found these great shoes from Old Navy for $24.50, they are so cute and I love the color... the problem they are online only and my shoe size varies so i can't try them on.... I might just get them anyways....

So that is what tops my wish list at the moment... its always constantly changing... but thats the top for the moment.

And I just wanted to remind everyone that Project Runway Season 6  Starts Thursday, August 20 on Lifetime at 10/9c.
