A Little Vintage

Today we meandered down the streets of old Folsom, and I came across some AMAZING vintage stores, "Gracefully Vintage" and "Mélange." Guys, after looking around the creative juices started flowing. Take a peek:

Now THESE are the kinds of vintage stores I love. There were so many things to look at! Isn't that white mirror above gorgeous? After the vintage stores we stopped at Snook's for a little salted caramel, and later in a vintage jewelry store I found a Kate Middleton knock-off ring with real diamonds and a sapphire, and I think I really sort of maybe kind of LOVED it. I adore California!

Quite the steal

I'm back home in California for the week, and today my sister introduced me to Crossroads Trading Co. While I was browsing racks and racks of cool clothes, I came across these little beauties. It was like a spotlight shone on them and angels started singing. The best part about all of this is that I've been eyeing them at Urban Outfitters since I saw Kendi wear them last December. But for $25 (and they're in 99% perfect condition) instead of $50? Yes please. I love a good deal. Moral of the story: patience pays off, folks.

Also, I was reminded today why I love Auburn, California so much. It's so beautiful.

Fall Fashion

I've been putting together a list of things I'm lusting after for the Fall. What think we?

Prada Lace-Up Suede Ankle Boot. Yes, just a wee bit out of my price range. I want some knock-offs.

Michael Kors Large Gold Runway Watch. I decided that this will be my graduation gift to myself in December. It's so classic.

Hunter Original Tall Rain Boots. I love the patent graphite gray, but I might want them in green too. So many options!

There it is, folks. What I'll be lusting after come Fall, when I should be paying attention in my Personal Finance class.
