So, I must apologize for the lack of style inspiration on this blog.. although this space is sort of a mix of everything anyway it's no surprise i'm sure. Window treatments and paint colors are all i've been looking at, but this morning felt like a clothes day, so on with the fashion website perusing. I've really been focused on finding pieces in the used clothing stores rather than buying them new. Of coarse price has a lot to do with it.. but to be honest, i'd rather hunt for things and be completely thrilled when something perfect comes along then forking out the $80 right away. And, who knows if next year you'll be "into" the same thing anyway. Here are some fashion contenders:
this $25 ikat/southwestern inspired vintage blouse is so perfect.. kind of wish it was my size,
this $65 coat looks so "
Pendelton for Opening Ceremony" it's not even funny, and
these cute vintage moccasins.
Luck luck luck luck.... That's all I can say. I'd been looking for rugs all summer and couldn't seem to find a single one until today! Funny how that works. The nice sized rug is for under the ottoman in the living room and the other piece will work as an entry rug. I believe the smaller one to be a handmade piece of a much larger kilim or oriental rug.. but I'm no expert. They were a steal at the market to boot! The larger one cost $30 and the smaller one $10. Not a bad deal at all.. didn't even bother negotiating. On the other hand, I've had absolutely no luck finding items for the shop. Seems like the thrift bug has latched on to more people lately.. but good vintage items come in spurts, so it's only a matter of time. Today, I'll be in the house making homemade mac 'n cheese and waiting for the furniture guys to deliver the dining set and leather ottoman. I should be touching up paint on the walls, but... (I know there are no excuses). Have a good day all!!!
