Cat in a bag!

I found this lovely purse at a thrift shop awhile ago...I almost didn't buy it because of the "hefty" price tag of $9.95!!! That is, in my book, a lot of money for a second hand item.

It is so cool. The more I look at it, the more I want to use it.

There are no tags or markings of any kind...I'm pretty sure it's leather, it sure feels like it. 

The bottom of the bag even has four little paws!

The cat-like animal on the hardware details might be a tiger. Or a puma, or a panther.

I took some pictures today and will be posting this on my Etsy shop soon enough. In the meanwhile I'm hoping for an occasion to test it out.

Meow!

Best popcorn ever!

Not sure if you can buy this anywhere else...I'm lucky to be about 15 min from the border if Mexico!
But if you find lime and salt somehow infused together, love. Especially popcorn.

Good (golden) things come to those who wait!

Wait and wait...when I get something I want in my head, the last thing I want to do is wait. Even when my wallet says something else.
So the last few weeks I've been patrolling eBay in hopes of getting a really good deal on Tory Burch flats.
I've seen some, bid on some, and lost couple of good deals because I didn't want to make any rash decisions!
For whatever reason (my ninth sense for a good deal) I decided to pop in Nordstrom Rack today and what do I find???
My size and my price!
Couldn't even wait to get home to post about these...such an amazing find for about $68. No box but who cares,I won't be wearing that anyway!
Happy day!

"I do" again....

Looking back at almost three years to the day I got married....I really wish I could do it again (and again) just so I could wear my dress!
It was perfect in every way.

I found it from an online vintage store, bought it in slight panic as the wedding date was quickly approaching, and spent way less than I was prepared to ($89!!!). 

When I got the dress I locked myself into the bathroom to try it on, so my future hubby wouldn't see it of course, and it fit like it was made for me.
A-mazing.

I spent about $20 more on my Badgley Mischka heels.
Maybe I should start wearing the dress around the house-or get re-married every year a la Heidi Klum and Seal. 
But then, we know how that story ends....

Louis Feraud Treasure?

I found this dress at Goodwill while back...didn't recognize the designer, but the quality and the style of the dress attracted me to it, and I bought it-at very reasonable price! 

I remember checking out the designer from Vintage Fashion Guild but that's that. I haven't even posted this on my Etsy shop mainly because I had all the intentions of taking better pictures...

Then the other night prompted by a TV show I randomly found this cousin of a dress for $750!!!

Wow.

I will be listing my dress very soon, but I can promise the price won't be too close to their number :)
