Vintage Goodies

Hello, i thought i would share some of my vintage finds from this week's trip to the thrifts'
I picked up a vintage mexican tooled leather handbag- $5! i love these bags this is my second im thinking of starting a sub-collection anyway, I scored these brand new shoes that i have spotted in Lester's a few months ago $5 & a georgous rinestone & pearl choker- screams brakfast at tiffanys! i snagged this for a mere $20, its a bit chunky for my neck, but i think it would look amazing on a purse, don't you think?& lastly the blue beauty in the corner was a steal for $15 not vintage, but Badgley Mishka! Score! Who says shopping is not a sport?
Love, love, love this necklace picked this up in my favorite little antique shop for $5, yes $5 hard to believe, right?


This little beauty is simple but uber sophisticated- think the "kelly" bag, i snapped this up for $4
Hope you enjoy my vintage as much as i do , stay tuned this weekend i'm going to the biggest yard sale in history- can't wait to bring back what i find!
Until next time....

It's Official I'm A City Girl!

It's Official: I'm going to Parsons The New School For Design! Home of Tim Gunn & the project runway clan! I'm so excited! i always knew i would end up in manhattan, its where i belong. I can't wait to live in the city and be a real City girl, not just a wannabee. Sunday is accepted students day, I'm going to get to meet everyone attending & tour the school more closley. What to wear! Ill deffinitley post my outfit tomorrow, I promise!

I would like to Thank everyone for their love & support. No one ever doubted that i could follow my dream. I have such supportive family & friends that have done everything to help me get where i am. They say it takes a village. I have the best parents, My Father is not a rich man, but he is willing to work much harder than he has to so i could have the best of everything. My Mother is my greatest champion, when im tired and think im at my breaking point she brings me up. My Parents have never told me that my career ideas were silly, or frivolous, they did everything in their power to make my dreams come true. Thank you Mommy & Daddy for wanting me to have the best. xoxo

Until next time.......

I'm Back!

I'm Back!
I took the day off today to unpack & rest.I am completley exausted and thrown off from the time difference- Jet Lagged!I'm exausted i don't know how these jet setters do it! I have much to post about! Paris was amazing & a tripi will never forget. I can't believe its over, its definitley a place i would love to go back to. Here is a picture of me on Easter in front of Versailles, the home of the late Marie Antoinette & Louis the 16th- i think there were so many of them. Of Course i'm in Lilly. I'm wearing the Livie dress with a Calvin Klein jacket & scarf , and my prized vintage Chanel Bag- that i got for $30 at a thrift shop! talk about a deal of the century i'm 95% sure its authentic i never got around to getting it looked at by Chanel. I must go catch up on my beauty sleep & finish unpacking. I packed way too much stuff i need to take a packing 101 class & on top of everything i bought . My dad wanted to kill me in the airport when he had to carry everything- didn't help that i bought a bunch of magazines in the terminal before the flight LOL.


Avoir for now! Until next time....xoxoxo Jenna
