Flea Market Finds and Thrift Finds!

It's been a little while since posting. Things have been busy for me. Although on a side note I did go to Hollywood Video and picked up a bunch of classics for sale because they were closing. The titles I bought includes: The Big Sleep, The Killing, Roman Holiday, My Fair Lady, Dracula, All The Thin Mans (except one!), North By Northwest, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, An American In Paris, and on the non-vintage side Revolutionary Road. At very good deals, it is not everyday you see them for sale at a local store, cheap even!

Anywho! Here are some of the finds at the local flea market...




The gloves were a dollar a pair. The clip-ons were a buck each. The bracelets aren't vintage but I thought they would look nice with a thirties silk dress. The bottom row of the second picture I thought those were earrings without a pair. They were a quarter each but I looked closer and they were rings so I bought all they had.


Thrift Finds...




I loved the cute apple brooch because I love Snow White. The earrings that look soo Carmen Miranda keep on getting loose so I have to keep taking the pliers to it. But it will be worth it one of these days I find to look very kitchy. The pearl bracelet with a C on it doesn't start with my name but my last name it does and also my puppies name, so I bought it.



Dress fits great and it was three dollars! Everyone needs a little yellow in their life!

Came Out With A Purse Full Of Accessories

Went thrifting and found yet another handful of cute jewelry. Today I went to get a new pair of glasses so it was funny that I found a cat eye brooch. I with post my glasses when I get them as well!

Got A Reply From Dita Von Teese!

I got really excited when I received a reply from Dita on Twitter! Apparently we both like Last Christmas By WHAM! haha

Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season. I haven't posted in a little bit due to cleaning, work, school, etc. However, I will try to post new outfits I bought for the holiday season sometime soon. I also got some much needed sewing done. With some vintage outfits I have to maintain them so sewing sometimes is a must. All in all I will posting in the new year, hope to see you there!!

Flea Market Finds and New Bed Spread

I'm starting to see a trend with the things I buy lately to be brown and gold. I have no idea why.



I got a second jewelry box because my (as you know) was spilling over. So as luck would have it I found a decent sized one at $2.00! What a find that was. The two pins I found was a couple dollars each. The Screen Legends playing cards were cute. And the mirror were a few dollars, I put my Chanel lotion in the spray bottle. It came in handy!



I also picked up a Lucy and Ricky movie set. For $20.00 I got all the movies they have ever done together, still in plastic. I thought it was a good deal since this isn't something I see at Best Buy every day.


Continuing with the brown and gold theme I got a new bed spread! I just love it my new puppy Clara Bow fits right in! The angle with the camera was off but you get the jest of it...

X-mas gifts I give myself

I found a couple things I spent a little more money on for myself around this holiday season.



My first bottle of CHANEL (N. 5)!!!
I love it and it also came with body wash and lotion...classic.



I also got yesterday the rerelease of the 1959 Barbie. She comes with the extra gown and of course the classic striped bathing suit and glasses. It has a little poster, fact cards, and a repo-ed magazine. The magazine is worth taking a peek at it shows themed outfits from the decade. If you can squeeze it out of the box. So adorably worth buying.
