THRIFT.

A day that was supposed to be spent at the beach was cancelled by the unpredictable LA weather. Victor and I woke up to a surprisingly gloomy day, that led us to cancel our plans and reschedule our beach day getaway. We took a trip to a huge thrift store (more like a warehouse) just off the 110 freeway: ' Saint Vincent De Paul'. It was both our first time going and we loved it! Some items were a bit pricey but the selection is HUGE and it is really organized. There's even a section with racks of 1.00 dollar clothing! We ended up taking a vintage Disney cup, and a comfy over sized sweater. The furniture, chandeliers and pianos were a dream!

STUDS

Today was a nice beautiful summer day in LA, I spent some time with my boyfriend (Victor), went to eat at one of our favorite hot wings chain restaurant, and did some local shopping. Our afternoon began with a trip to a local thrift shop in Bell, California. We usually like to go thrifting in hopes of finding some Etsy worthy clothing.  Clothing that is either timeless and classic, able to be reworked, or expresses pop culture. Our thift shop trip proved to be a successful one, Victor found some great pieces that are now for sale on his Etsy store. Two of my favorite items that he purchased today was a bright red Lacoste cardigan, and a Britney Spears '09 Circus tour tee (I might just buy it for myself!).

Studs are very in today, so I helped my boyfriend revamp the Britney tee along with two other tees, and give them a punk rock spin by studding the sleeves.  The tee shirts came out great and I'm sure they will sell quickly.
