Fashion Blogger Pop-Up Shop in Atlanta

Being the shopaholic that I am, I have way too much stuff.  New shoes have to wait in line for their turn.  It's so sad.  Lucky for you (if you wear a size 7.5 or 8) I'm teaming up with some fabulous Atlanta fashion bloggers for a pop-up shop at the W in Buckhead on April 12th.

Bucketfeet Casual

I shared with you guys how fabulous the Southern Blog Society brunch was last week (HERE).  And how off the chain the swag was!  I received a pair of Bucketfeet shoes and I am in love with them!

Style Me Friday: Monochromatic

Happy Friday! This week flew by!  We don't have any big plans this weekend, Thank God! That is great because I'm super busy next week with fun bloggy stuff!

Today's Style Me Friday look from Fashionista Next Door is monochromatic!  I have become a big fan of monochromatic outfits because they make you look slimmer!  I'm all for anything that makes me look smaller, especially since I have gained 10lbs!  Yes I did! Can you see it in my face waist and thighs?  I have been trying my best to hide it : ).  Now I can't fit my clothes. I started watching what I eat this week.  I hope to get a work out to two in this weekend!  Wish me luck!

Happy Hour Thrifting! Not Gonna Believe What I Got!

Last night Peyton and I decided check out Happy Hour Thrifing with Karen of Two Stylish Kays and Kerri from Virtuous Styls.  These jazzy ladies are experts in thrifting and you can use their styling service to assist you while you shop or just shop for you completely!

Kerrie found this cute, and I think new Mango dress for $2.50!  This line is currently sold at JC Pennys!

 I found this wonderful black beaded jacket for $8.50.  I know that is expensive in a thrift store but these are going for $200 or $300 and more and the quality is not close to this.

I found this Hermes scarf for $2!  Bah- nan- nas!  This scarf retails for $400!  Now I just need to find a bag in a thrift store.

I got a 3 more dresses and a navy blazer.  I spent a total of $25!  What a great way to start off the year!  I am still not sold on thrifting for Peyton unless it has the tags.  I know...  But at least I find great deals for her.

Have you found any great thrift finds lately?

Mama's 1st Pair of Louboutins!

Yes Ladies you read it right!  I am now the proud owner of these babies!

They retail for $795!

I am only the owner of these because of this beautiful lady!  Dee and I have been BFFs since I was 9!

I bet you are wondering what happened?  Here is the story:

My girl Dee that lives in the Chicago suburbs (pictured above) called me on weekday afternoon.

Dee: So happy I caught you!

Me: Whats wrong? 

Dee: I think I found you some Christian Louboutins!

Me:  Huh? 

Dee: I'm at a thrift store!  And there are some here!  I am going to send you a picture.

I get the picture, OMG could it be?  I call her back.

Dee:  I think they are legit! I can't fit them, you want me to get em?

Me: Umm Yeah!

Guess who much she paid for them?????  $7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am thinking, get out there with those shoes as fast as you can!  How could there be REAL Loubs at a thrift store?  I forward the pictures to my other BF that owns a few pair to check them out.  She says they look good!  I'm like YES!  So I patiently wait for Dee to ship them to me.  Here they are!  My second child!



Once I got them I knew they were real.  The soles are leather.  Who puts a leather sole on a fake shoe?  The inside of the shoe is a butter soft leather as well.  But how did they end up in a thrift store.  So I start to do my research.  I google "How to Spot a Fake".  Everything checks out.  I still want it to be confirmed so I take them to the fabulous designer consignment shop for them to check out.  They don't see any flaws.  We have a winner! Can you believe it?  I am just so happy they are classic shoes

Mister has been laughing at me shinning and cleaning these shoes.  I am still in disbelief!  I have the most amazing girlfriends in the world that think of me when they find something so amazing.  Love you Dee! Too small or big, I would have chopped off a toe or something to wear these. 

So ATL, when you see me out with my $7 Louboutins don't hate : ) Just kidding, but really don't! LOL. What is you most unbelievable thrift store find?

So I got my "Green" shopping on this past weekend!

Inspired by all my new found thrifting bloggy friends, P and I got up and headed to Goodwill.  I was told thrifting was a good place to find this season hot bow blouse tops, cute blazers and skirts.  I was only interested in the blouse.  So I went straight to the tops.  Within 2 mins I found this bad boy!

SCORE!  I could not believe it!  Now it has a few stains but I scrubbed it up pretty good.  But if you see any stains while I am wearing it just act like you didn't.

Then at the Swapanista event on the same day, this was is the swapping suite!  2 in one day!  Holla!  Because of the pattern it's hard to see the bow but you can kind of see it below.

I picked up this incredible vintage sequin top at the Swapanista event also.  I love sequins!  So I had to have this.  Just think, with some skinny black pants or dark jeans and some BAD shoes!  What!

What they say is true, what goes around comes back around!  I am looking forward to my future thrifting adventures.  I have not had any luck finding items for Peyton.  Where do you go for "Green" shopping or to find the best thrifting items?  Goodwill?  Salvation Army?
