#tbt Hippie Chic

April 14, 2013

Found this gorgeous, vintage leather tooled bag sitting on a shelf all alone last weekend. I knew if I took it home, it would be fast friends with my other purses. It clearly wanted to go home with me with a price of $15. :)

Holla!

The caftan I'm wearing is from Ross and was $10. I get all my caftans/ coverups from Ross. :)

#tbt Vintage Boots

February 26, 2013

I've been hunting for a pair of burgundy leather boots with a heel for three years. Last month, I finally found a pair. They are totally straight from the '70's and I am in love with them. They are everything I was looking for, all for $20. Patience pays off ladies. Oh, and being blessed with a small foot doesn't hurt either. :)

#tbt Statement Necklace

October 15, 2013

After searching for this necklace for a year, I was about to give up. I found lots of options, but they were all $30+. It's a great necklace, but it's not that great...

While browsing Francesca's at the mall a few weeks ago, I found this gem on the clearance rack...for $10! It wasn't the color I was originally looking for, but I liked the challenge. And at $10, I couldn't leave it behind. It looked great with my gray tee and white skinnies.

Holla!

#tbt Beach Hair

 

February 26, 2013

Before I went on vacation, I made sure to upload some hair tutorials from pinterest onto my phone. You know, to look cute while I was on the beach. :) I only ended up trying one, but I think it came out pretty good and it was pretty easy to do. Next time, I'm going to make the braid thicker and try to place it closer to my ear...

Here's the original pin:

#tbt More Vintage Coach

Found more vintage Coach while antiquing here in Florida.  Really good shape for $40.  This might become a thing...

Snagged this vintage Coach purse for $30 at one of my favorite consignment stores. I thought about it for a couple weeks then finally pulled the trigger. I'm so glad it was still there!

Holla!

#tbt Post: MI Christmas 2012

I always spend Christmas in MI.  Always.  To me, Christmas means cold, snow, fires, getting bundled up and the Griswolds.  All of our family is in MI and almost all of our friends are too.  So, I have to go home ("home" for me will always be MI).  We managed to do a lot on our visit in 2012.  And we got snow.  Really pretty, fluffy white snow.  Just like it should be.  :)  Here are the highlights.

Cheers

Snowing before Christmas.  Its gonna stick!

 Putting on new Christmas presents

Besties for life!

Then we went shopping :)

Hit the after Christmas sales hard

Good thing we don't have to get Maddy...

But my FAVORITE part of Christmas break was learning to shoot.  Lately, knowing how to shoot a gun has become very important to me.  I want to be able to protect my family.  My dad took us and I'm happy to say that Kevin and I are pretty good.  Sniper Schwemmin hit dead center his first shot.  Ever.  With a gun.  Insert eye roll here...  Take away message, don't mess with the Kendi Haus.
