A Thrifty Feature: FashionBombDaily.com

It's been a little crazy the past 2 weeks, but I did have the pleasure to attend some Spring 13 NYFW shows which was a break from the 9-5 job! One of the shows was sprung on me at the last minute, and it happened to be on the day that I decided to wear a thrifted dress, belt & earrings. Well, luckily I looked FAB & the photographers obviously liked my style too! What was even more exciting was the fact that I was featured on FashionBombDaily.com

Head on over and check out the post...and maybe one day, you might see me featured on their "Fashion Bombshell of the Day"

NJ Flea Market Spotlight: Bloomfield "On The Green"

Over Labor Day weekend, I decided to take in the local scene on my staycation, and headed to the church's flea market. I remember growing up and on saturday mornings heading to the flea market with my aunt, oh if i would have only had known then what I know now about other people's treasures!!!
Just like thrift stores, you never know what you will find at a flea market, and I hit the jackpot. I came across a vendor that had really cool vintage accessories (and this is where my shopping hiatus came to an end: it lasted 1 month and 2 days). I scooped up some earrings and my favorite item was a wine colored stretch belt with a huge gold buckle. And if you aren't aware of the Fall 12 trends, Wine is on the list of must have colors! It's so lovely when you can find trends at a cheap (and I mean cheap) price! I can't wait to incorporate these pieces into my outfits.

A little quirky and a little chic!

A true thrifter can always appreciate a quirky piece of clothing and see the potential that it holds! That's exactly what I saw in this green and white striped blazer which reminded me of several things (lollipop, gum, amongst many other things). So to balance it out, I paired it with my FAVE navy pleated skirt and threw in my other fave colors, fuchsia & yellow. And the entire outfit sans the shoes & belt, is ALL THRFITED!!!!

Striking in Stripes

 (Dress-Taylor, avail at Lord & Taylor; Pumps- Jessica Simpson; Necklace & Bangles- H&M; Earrings- Ebay)

With the insanely hot weather that we've been experiencing lately, it has also provided a challenge in what to wear to work (especially, when you have a conservative dress code...a little exposure of the shoulders never hurt anyone!).

So, with me being the bargain hunter that I am, I could not pass up this strinkingly striped dress by Taylor (sadly, it's not vintage or thrifted, but still FAB & over 50% off the orig price). Once I saw it, I started to visualize how I would style it...my Jessica Simpson Royal Blue suede pumps would be perfect. But I'm not a fan of being matchy matchy so I had to throw in something unexpected....so in comes the neon accessories (oh how i am right on trend with the stripes & neon, and still somewhat work appropriate..a pashmina will cover those pesky arms while i am inside the office).

Enjoy :)
