'I Come to [Thrift] it Wealthily in [New York]'


FINALLY got to go thrifting!  Loved every minute of it although it was freezing and I must have walked 10 miles.  All in all, I made out like a bandit!  Swiped:

 a new Alexander Wang vest for $45!


a Brooks Brothers Wool Grey Blazer for $30


a Bennetton brown herringbone blazer for $15

 and
a yummy fuchsia/berry silk blouse for $6








What I'm Wearing:
Coat:  Free People - We The Free Fur Trimmed Parka
                     Orig.: $248.00
                     Paid:  $74.00
Sweater:  Diesel Miggy (also worn here)
Blouse:  Tucker for Target via eBay
Pants:  JCrew Pixie Pant
Uggs (whatever, it was cold and I walked a lot!)
Marc by Marc Jacobs Sasha Messenger
JCrew fingerless gloves
Bird Skull Ring - Urban Outfitters

Love Love Love that I received the Stylish Blogger Award again this time from Style Forever After whose blog I just discovered a few days ago.  I simply adore her style...she knows how to put an outfit together!  So please check out her blog and show her some love!


So, 7 different facts about me:
  1. I've written a yet unpublished book about vampires (and no, NOTHING like Eclipse which would make Bram Stoker turn in his grave)
  2. Saw Paranormal Activity 1 week ago for the first time and still sleep with the TV on all night
  3. Had nightmares after watching Jurassic Park
  4. I'm terrified of bugs and once waited outside my apartment for a half hour until a moth with the wing span of Texas flew away
  5. I think mice and rats are the cutest things
  6. I'm convinced that I will never be able to save copious amounts of money - spending it is far too much fun!
  7. I'm a speed demon....'move, get out the way...'
Here are the lovely bloggers I gave the Stylish Blogger Award to.  If you haven't checked them out yet, do so here!
