{Style} Beg, Borrow, Steal...

Sometimes when all my shirts seem boring and old, I like to turn my attentions to Mr. AiF's closet... Exhibit A: This plaid shirt. The colour and shape make it perfect for layering, and let's face it, it's always more fun wearing other people's clothes. Sorry Lobbie.

Happy Monday, friends! Hope everyone had a great weekend... xx

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

a thrifting I will go...

I decided to spend my afternoon off thrifting and antiquing today, which is pretty much my all-time favourite passtime... My first stop was Value Village, and although it was nowhere near as fabulous as the one in Victoria, I still managed to scoop up a couple of scores. I've been on the hunt for a pair of vintage cowboy boots for ages now, so you can imagine how psyched I was to find these powder blue leather boots for a mere $7.99! Woot woot! They're super comfy and in great condition, which makes me a very happy girl... Next I found a red plaid blanket, ideal for cuddling up on the couch or picnicing in the summer, and for only $2.99, it was waaay to cute to resist. I also picked up a forest green snakeskin belt there, as well as a just-for-fun ring in honour of my new province... And all for under $15, might I add! Man, I love thrifting.

Next I stopped at an antique mall, where I had to seriously restrain myself from buying all their incredible collectables! I managed to be good though, and only bought an Italian glass vase in a gorgeously vivid blue (the photo doesn't do it justice), as well as a matte white Kaiser vase that's the perfect addition to my little collection... Double fist pump! All in all, a perfect afternoon...
