What I'm loving

Here are some things I'm loving lately! 

Kombucha- always a love, especially the GT's brand! My favorite is a tie between gingerade and lavender, but sometimes nothing beats the original! (excuse my messy car...oops!)

I'm a coffee girl through & through, but chai is #2! This pumpkin spice chai from Tazo is delish! With some milk or almond milk, umm...yes please! Bring on all things pumpkin!!!

These minnetonka mocs I ordered from thred up came in the other day! I'm a minnetonka fan & have been for years! When I saw these ones with peace signs on them, I caved! And for less than $10 shipped, how could I say no?? 

Netflix!! (let's talk about the weird new logo for a second though...not a fan!) The hubs and I have been big Netflix fans for a long time, but recently we have been binge watching a few shows! We are watching Once upon a time right now, LOVE IT! And I've been watching the Killing when I'm home alone! Both such great shows!! NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!! 

And here are some things I have been crushing on!! I sent the links to T...hint hint! Maybe they will find themselves on my doorstep soon....never know!

It's no secret I'm a big coffee/tea drinker...but I've got to drink in style! I love love love mugs! I have 2 whole cupboards slam full. I saw this one and died...another dog mug, I think yes!!

On the topic of dogs (duh, when am I not on that topic?)...I love all of these magnets! My car has a bunch of stickers/magnets on it...but I think I need more! Heck yes!! 

This tee from Very Jane - one of my fav flash sale sites! Love this...totally one of my mottos!! 

So....What have y'all been loving?!!!

Til next time friends!

Recents OOTDs & deets

Haven't blogged in a good while, so thought I'd get back on the bandwagon & share some of my recent outfits! Keep reading if you're interested in that kinda thing 😊

-These jeans are thrifted Abercombie. I found two in my size that day & I love love love them. These were $5.99.

-This floral ruffle blouse is also a thrift find. I passed it up a few times before deciding it was fate & buying it (once it was half off of course). It was $2.99.

-These rosette wedges were a birthday gift from my mom. They are from Kohls. They are super comfy & not to mention cute! Winner winner.

-This necklace is from a Burlington Coat Factory. I also bought a bracelet set that matches - but only wear it together when I feel "matchy matchy" - which isn't often!😉 Haha, it was $4.99.

-These J brand jeans are one of my favorite thrifted finds ever! They are super comfy & fit me like a glove. The best part? They cost me $5 (the same ones go for 200+ retail) 

-This flowy top is also a thrifted find. I got it a few years ago & I don't know why I don't wear it more - I totally should!

-These wedges are apt 9 and they are also thrifted, from a few years ago.  Love 'em! 

-The necklace is a Forever 21 find from a few years ago! 

-This blouse is a super clearance find from Kohls! It was less than $5. They have the best sales!

-These black Bermuda shorts are thrifted Old Navy.

-These flats are from Payless - I think they were either $6 or $8...something crazy cheap like that!

-This necklace is a Target find from a few months ago. Had to have it!

-These earrings are from a local outlet store. They were a couple bucks.

-I thrifted this Dana Buchman top while on vacation in July. It was $2, I believe! I'm a sucker for pink - my favorite color 💗

-These manhattan chino shorts are thrifted New York & Company, from a few months ago. I got them on a half price day so they were $2.50!

-This cardigan is light pink, although it looks more cream-colored in this picture. I bought it at Forever 21 while I was in Vegas during the holidays last year. It was somewhere between 10-15 dollars, but I used a gift card.

-This tassel necklace was $5 at Walmart sometime this summer.

-These (old, worn out - but SO comfy) gray TOMS were a gift from the hubs last Christmas. 

-I had been eyeing this hot pink flamingo shirt since I first saw it at Target, but waited for it to go on sale and snagged it.  It was somewhere between 5-8 dollars.

-These J.Crew Bermuda shorts are a recent thrift find. I couldn't wait to wear them. They were $3.99.

-I have been searching for a pair of Clarks sandals with flower accents forever, but hadn't wanted to pay the retail price. I found these at a local outlet earlier this season at 70% off & snagged them - so glad I did!

-The necklace & earrings are both clearance finds from Target. They were both somewhere between 3-5 dollars each!

-This floral tunic/shirt was a thrift find from a few years ago - another one I hardly ever wear and I don't know why! It was somewhere between 2-4 dollars!

-These American Eagle Outfitters crop jeggings were about $30, on sale for $15, but I used a reward I had on my credit card so I got them for free! They are super flattering & comfy. One of my favorite (more affordable) denim brands.

-These Yellowbox flip flops were on sale for 30% off at Dillards earlier this year. I couldn't pass them up. I'm a sucker for bling.

-This floral crossbody purse is from Ross Dress for Less years ago. I think it was about $15.

-This heart necklace from Lia Sophia was a birthday gift from my Aunt. She always picks out the best jewelry pieces for me! 

Hope y'all enjoyed. Just showing you that it doesn't take a lot of $$ to look cute - you can totally dress fashionably (and unique) while on a budget! So go hit up a thrift store (or two), friends!

Til next time!

Thrift store finds of the week

So.. I had a little bit of extra time on my hands this week. So naturally, I found myself at the thrift store. Thought y'all might wanna see what I got!

Goodwill

Goodwill is always hit or miss for me. I go there at least once a week, most weeks. This particular trip, I only found 2 things. Sometimes I find tons and sometimes I leave empty handed. Just depends on the day. 

Because I am totally lacking in the cardigan department {not} I picked up this blue ruffle cardigan from New York & Company. It was $4. I love it!!

I found this small, crossbody purse from the Sak {new with tags!} hiding in the back of all other purses. It was only $4! I was super happy about this because I like to change up my purse often & wear small crossbody purses a lot! 

Local consignment shop

So..I don't typically go for places labeled as "consignment" or "resale" shops because they are typically more that I am willing to spend. But there are a couple consignment stores in my area that have sales quite often. This one in particular has a $1 section. Everything I got on this trip was from that section. 

Ann Taylor Loft blouse with detailing around the collar. One of my absolute favorite brands. I couldn't believe this was only $1!

When I saw this sweater, I knew that I had to have it. I love the pattern! It's super lightweight and cozy--perfect for chilling at home or running errands.

 

Once again, something by Loft! I personally love love love these flip flops! Flowers on anything=love! I couldn't believe these were $1. They fit me perfectly!

Everything else that I got was bought for my mom. She is always asking me to pick stuff up for her because she doesn't have the "eye" like I do. Even though she is the one that got me into thrifting in the first place. 

This t-shirt from Tommy Hilfiger is adorable! I love the detail at the top. Definitely my mom's style.

This shirt from the GAP. Love the colors. Plaid is always a win in my book. 

Lastly, I got her these belts. She accessories a lot with hats & belts. For $1 each, these were a definite steal! I love the one on the top, but thought she would get a lot of use out of it :) The bottom one is by Abercrombie. 

Hope y'all enjoyed!!

Frugal fashion (what I wore)

Here are some of my outfits from the past couple of weeks: pretty much everything was either thrifted, bought on sale or gifted. I don't remember the last time I bought something for full price. It's just not in my nature. 

Here is one of my work outfits from last week!

Cardigan- Old Navy, thrifted (Goodwill)

Skirt- Fire Los Angeles, on clearance, old (Macys)

Flip flops- Yellowbox, 30% off sale recently (Dillards)

Earrings- Target

This is what I wore on 4th of July to a family cook out.

Red top- Thrifted (Goodwill)

Skirt- Forever 21, thrifted (Goodwill)

Flip flops- Reef, bought at Sea World a couple years ago when my flip flops broke while I was walking around- one of my favorite pairs :)

This is what I wore to work today! 

Top- Kohls, clearance

Crop pants- Aeropostale, thrifted (Goodwill) --not a brand I usually go for, but they fit me perfectly and for a petite girl, I gotta take what I can get with pants--

Sandal wedges- Bday gift from my mom (Kohls) 

Necklace- old, not really sure where I got this...I have so much jewelry that sometimes I can't keep track :)
