Antique Fair Finds

My grandmother asked if I wanted to go with her to the antique fair in Coburg.  So glad I said yes. 

The antique fair runs once a year.  

The stretch of booths/shops goes on forever... So many things to see!

I finished the day with a few finds that I am really excited about!

I spent a total of $29.

Below is what I found...

Small vanity tray for $10 (the woman gave me a few dollars off)

Large vanity tray for $14

Vintage ring for $3

Vintage gold pearl necklace for $1

Vintage white stone necklace for $1

Super excited about these finds!

I can't wait to go again next year.

Every Girl Has to Sparkle

I bought a pair of gold sequinned shorts for $7 knowing that I just HAD to wear them someday.

I finally put them on this past week with a soft pink button-up blouse.

Yes...I did think to myself the night before I was to wear the shorts... what if this is too much?  

Then, I asked my older brother his opinion of my sparkle shorts.

He said, "I always like to try something a little bold and different myself.  If you like them, wear them."

That was all the confirmation I needed.

Walla!

Sparkle sparkle.

Dare to be bold and different?

A simple button up blouse paired with a jewel necklace balances the sparkle shorts glam.

Fashion for thought.

Rebel Scarf

For someone that gets nearly straight A's in college, I have to find excuses for being a rebel.

A few things that I have considered to be rebellious in my life are as follows:

1.  Ordering a large blizzard at Dairy Queen instead of a Medium

2.  Not vacuuming my room for a week

3.  Wearing a skull print scarf

And there you have it folks.  My innocence has been totally shot by the aforementioned points.

As you can tell, I'm a bit of a wild one. 

Take a gander at my new "rebel scarf".

Owl Bank

My brother called me at work and left a message saying that there was a surprise waiting for me at home.

I was so excited to see a large Z Gallery bag sitting promptly on my bed when I 

entered my room!

I opened a box inside to find a lovely owl piggy bank.  

The owl is white porcelain and it is darling!

Thank you, brother, for the surprise!

I love owls! 

Next on my checklist? 

Little white owl salt and pepper shakers!

I put the owl bank on my book shelf.

Take a peek!

Thank you brother! :)

Up Close and Bow Personal

I have been very impressed with the delicate and dainty jewelry line that Lauren Conrad has at Kohl's.  

I recently bought the cutest little bow necklace.  

Even the fastener is a vintage style "pinch clasp".

For those of us on a budget, this jewelry is affordable and simply sweet.

Lauren says that her line is dainty and vintage inspired.

Not to get too up close and personal... but... I simply love this bow necklace.
