~Haul~ Salvation Army Thrift Store.....

Last week, one of my best friends and I were in Salvation Army Thrift Store and THIS HOOKAH (lol) found two...TWO brand new Victoria Secret bras in her size! Again, she fashion upstaged me ( this has been going on for years!). Her finds gave me new life in out local Sal Val Store. Once a place I rarely went into because of the slack selection...is now a new hangout, thanks to Stephanie and her bras.:)


I went in on Saturday looking for nothing and everything and found some vintage Shadowline slips that I've been wearing to bed. I love the concept of wearing slips to bed, they are very comfy and light. I hope collect more of these, even some half slips and camis to sleep in.

Along with collecting vintage jewelry and scarves a while back, I was really into vintage sleepwear. My Grandmother always slept in gowns and  pajama sets which she would purchase from Belk. She even had her "hospital pajamas" that were her top of the line pieces she only wore when she would be in the hospital which was often.:)

These slips were $.99 a piece!

Then I scored a Dooney & Burke bag for $2.99...but its a damn knockoff but I love the shape and design. I can't wait to rock it this fall.

Haul: Old Navy and Getting New Clothes!

Hey Everyone!!

I had to go to Spartanburg for reasons beyond my control and I was kinda of down about it. So, on the way back home I noticed that the new Old Navy ( they moved the location) was open and I remembered I had a $40.26 Merchandise Check in my wallet.

***cues the shouting music!!!***

What a blessing, right? Considering the fact I've not bought not one piece of "new" clothing this WHOLE summer. Yes...I've been thrifting up a storm and bought no 'new' clothes ( or shoes from Vivaladiva or handbags...I've been thrifting up a storm). I almost felt out of place in there. Weird. Here's what I got....

Long gray tank- $6.99 :I got this is "my" size in ON which is NOW a XL.:)))) Fits perfect and feels great.

Knit Henley Dress-$15: I really love the color of this dress because it looks red but its like a red raspberry color. I got this in a XXL so I could put a tank underneath even though the XL fit.

Khaki knitted tunic-$9.99: I was sorta unsure about this tunic but I thought it would great for when it get a bit cooler here with a tank and leggings. I got this in a XXL for the slouchy feel.

Blue Tank-$6.49: The size I needed wasn't there but I wanted this color so bad I got a XXL hoping that when I wash it, it will fit better. Anyone else do that? Buy something to big ( *cough* or too small) because you love the color or design...If anything I could just layer it under something...

Total with tax: $40.78

Out of pocket: $.52 :))))

~Haul~ $1 Goody Accessories @ Walgreens for Natural Hair...

Most Walgreens stores in my area ( Upstate South Carolina) have these huge bins of great Goody hair accessories from little girls to dressy rhinestone pieces to everyday pieces. I got all these pieces for a $1 and use a $3 Register Reward, so the total of this haul was $3!!!

I see alot of these same hair accessories in places like Big Lots for $2,$3,$4... Plus those Ouchless Flex bands (left the headbands in the picture) are sold on a popular natural hair accessory site for three times as much.

I struggle with wearing hair accessories because I always think they back date me....make me look younger, too young....Maybe I should do a Hair Accessory Challenge to break those thoughts....hmmmmmm....lol!


Have you ever seen these $1 Goody bins at Walgreens?

~Fresh Coat~ Sinful Colors Paradise....

 I swear I have an addiction to blue nail polish.

I spotted Sinful Colors Paradise on their Swirling display Saturday and bought without thinking that I OWN at least three other colors similar. Those that I can think of (smh) are OPI No Room For The Blues and Sally Hansen Xtreme Nail Color in Blue Me Away. I need help. lol!

I don't own many Sinful Colors mainly because sometimes I think people don't notice that when they do a "special" or "limited edition" collection, they mix some the core colors in to fool into thinking they are LE. I've noticed that...has anyone else noticed that? HOWEVER, their special display NEVER say "Limited Edition" or "Special". Joke's on me right?!? lol! Maybe its my nail polish addiction gone schizo.:/

Paradise is two coats opaque but I'm chipping already applied yesterday. Womp.

~Fresh Coat~ Ruby Kisses Barbie Purple & Crazy Night Out....

 What a week....

I finally used one of the two  Ruby Kisses polishes I pick up on my last BSS haul. First, let me tell you, I don't know if they changed the formula or what but this polish smells HORRIBLE. It doesn't smell normal. Its smells like its an old formaldehyde formula. My nails better not be yellow when I take it off!

Second, this shade, Barbie Purple, is very, very opaque. Its almost a one coat but it streaks. Its also holds up well with a top coat. Must be the what that smell is. LOL!

I did the tips in Crazy Night Out which is packed with glitter in a clear base for a $1 polish. I didn't have to do too much of my "dabbing" method to get the look I wanted.

Anyone own Ruby Kisses polish? What are your favorite shades?
