Over the weekend I finally got a chance to swing by the Verameat store and pick up my order! There was a 40% off sale- I just couldn’t resist any longer and a sale is a good excuse as any. I got the Vampire Crown, and Got Heart ring. As the Man Repeller said when she laid eyes on these furry shoes, when I saw my jewelry in person, “my heart fell into the trenches of my vagina”. HAPPINESS!
Fred (Vera’s puppy) was also hanging out in the store, the tiny and adorable dog in the brand ads. She’s even cuter in person!I After the store I went for a stroll in Tompkins Square park when the weather had finally cooled off a bit.

This week I went thrifting in a new part of town around Times Square. Numerous friends had recommended this Salvation Army on 46th Street between 10th and 11th Ave, so I decided to finally head to midtown and see what all the commotion was about. I was delighted when I walked in and saw that the racks were neatly organized and sections clearly marked. I went on half off Wednesday, and to my surprise, the place was not crowded at all! At the register, I paid for my pile of velvet. The temperature is slowly rising here in New York, but I couldn’t help buying pieces in this soft and thick- totally unfit for summer- fabric.
My favorite purchase are these 80’s vintage Fendi pants. Yeah, you heard me right! And for only $6, I couldn’t care less how inappropriate they are for the season.

Up above is a photo of post-thrift happiness and below is me paying for my pile of velvet. I know, it will be warm soon, but I just can’t pass up the creamy, velvety pieces of a dark palette. More to come about what I thrifted in tomorrow’s “Thrifted Thursday” post on Sparknotes!

Allure Mag + Pantene Pro V hosted a pop up salon in Bryant Park today. My hair was already curled, so the stylist pinned it back and created a loose pony. She showed me some quick tips to create this do on my own. I really love this style, and am amazed at how easy this look is to achieve. So perfect for summer!

IFB PROJECT #45: THAT ONE SPECIAL PIECE
Create a post that showcases your one special piece. Whether it’s a family heirloom or a plain white tee from Hanes, if it makes you feel beautiful, confident and put together – that’s what matters.
One of my most valued pieces in my closet are these glittery sequined pants. I bought them from a consignment store, but unfortunately they don’t have any kind of label inside, so I don’t know who makes them. This is my go to pair of pants when I have “nothing to wear”. When that thought crosses my mind, I figure, “Why not just got all out, if I literally can’t think of anything else to slip into”. They are a lot of look, and really need no accessorizing.
I never knew I’d have such an affinity for beaded and sequined clothing, but here I am putting some shine on my gams.
