Accessories Are a Necessity Creating style takes a lot more effort than just putting on clothes. Whether it's high or low-end designer brands, fast fashion or thrifted finds. Your Outfit of the day needs that extra pizzaz to get that complete well put together look. This is where accessories come into play. That chunky bangle, or that brooch attached to a blazer, coat or even that favorite scarf you love so much will turn an intentional piece into an exceptional one. Topping your outfit off with a hat can say a lot about  your style. Rings things and those necklaces that cling. Adding jewelry to complete your attire can take an understated piece of clothing and turn it into a look that came off the Paris runway. And don't worry it doesn't have to be expensive diamonds and pearls, although they can be. By visiting your favorite department or thrift store and buying a piece or two of jewelry, it will awaken you to a new surprise your wardrobe will thank you for.  Acce...

I put this look together as a DIY project.  The Fendi Logo was painted on. Purchased this oversized men's jersey at my local Godwill.  The sunglasses were purchased from there as well. They have a yellow tint which is trending right now. The Gucci was purchased from a consignment shop.    And the leopard print wedges were from GW outlet. Don't care what they say. Vintage and street wear is the best fashion trend ever!

                                             Fashion is not what the labels say, it's who you are.                                                                                                                                  I discovered my love of Fashion early in life. As a little girl I always loved dressing up. When my parents would leave the house, I would always go in my mom’s closet and pull out her black patent leather, and suede stilettos, slip on her fancy cocktail dresses, pile on her jewelry and wrap myself in her faux furs. I wou...

Hey guys Its been over 8 weeks since we've been able to hit those streets shopping and visiting our local retailers, let alone thrift stores. And since I'm a reseller of second hand items, I look to the Salvation Army's, Goodwill's and local Mom and Pop thrift stores for inventory. And with this recent pandemic I've been limited in restocking my inventory. But all has not failed! I decided like many of you to do a closet cleanse, garage cleaning and some reorganizing around the house which allowed me to come across some items that I no longer need, haven't worn or totally forgot I had that can be sold. I realized how much stuff I had stored away, for "what? I also had some (dead piles). For those of you that are not familiar with the term. Dead piles is a term used by resellers of purchased items set aside for whatever reason maybe for cleaning or repairs and never listed on their selling platforms. I also was able to catch up on some crafty DIY...

I get it. Th-rifting is a turn off for many people. For some the thought of wearing clothing that someone else has worn is unimaginable. The idea that second hand clothing which should be given to the homeless and less fortunate is being sold by businesses for profit. And third, they just can’t stand the smell of going into those places.    I hear this all the time. Well to settle the minds of some. " Second hand clothing is not for everyone".    Used clothing can be cleaned using basic washing detergents and cleaners. The amount of  clothing given  away or donated is more than enough to help the homeless all over the world and then some. Another fact is purchasing clothing from a thrift, vintage or any second hand store is environmentally friendly and also helps with sustainability. Tons of clothing and materials are recycled which eliminates waste that is polluting landfills.  We live in such a throwaway society. If ...

Found this vintage coat the other day. What caught my eye from a distance was the fur collar that told me immediately it was vintage. Then that beautiful fuchsia color.  I immediately grabbed it and placed it in my cart. I live in Florida however I have to take advantage every now and then when we have our little cold spells. Otherwise tak a trip to visit family up north. There were some slight alterations but nothing that needed a lot of attention. Besides, the coat was only $6.99.
