Happy almost New Year! I am happy to say that I have absolutely NO plans tonight...haha my sis and I were laughing...we used to plan the crap out of New Years...or at least have some sort of idea...we spent it with each other cuz my parents were party animals and would stay out all night living it up in Vegas...looks like we will be having a romantic dinner in our home...grilled chicken...sweet potato and some charades...WE ARE OFFICIALLY OLD. 

Hey at least I have some clothing options...I loved this gold dress the minute I spotted it on thredUP. It isn't everyone's cup of tea and it actually is a little big on me...but I love it...it's comfortable and I feel all Studio 54 in it...I first wore it alone and then ran back in my house and put on some lipstick and grabbed this vintage jacket I picked up last year...I kinda wanna go dancing...hmmmm maybe that is what we should do...regardless...if you haven't checked out thredUP yet do...and let me know what you guys think of my new styling video..I kinda loved doing it and I think I will do it more! This one features my thredUP finds and some of my favorite Marshalls and vintage pieces! 

Wishing you all a Happy New Year....you all individually have been a part of this incredible year and I can't thank you enough for your support...honestly...I read all of your comments and emails and messages...a proper thank is to come...but I wish amazing things for you this year... 
XOXO

HAUL & STYLING

So here is what the box looked like when I got it! I had so much fun scrolling through the website! I even curated my own favorites if you want to check them out HERE.



When I opened the box I found a few coupons, a notice, and a bag with an envelope if I want to send any of my clothes to resale! Will work on a haul video for you guys to talk more about it!
I loved this vintage Marc Jacobs scarf...I thought it would be a perfect gift wrap for a bottle wine...you can see how easy I did it in my video below..I guess there was a stain on this scarf that they never identified on the site...so they gave it to me at no cost....I was gifted the items but for future reference anytime there is a flaw and they don't mention they will gift it to you...great customer service on that part...
First up was my Elizabeth and James dress...I was so excited about this dress..Retailing at $300 yes $300 I was over the moon when I saw it was only $30..I know... it was 2 day shipping so I was hoping I could wear this for new years...we shall see I love how it looks...it's a little big but so comfy and I was happy with that...
Then the REISS sweater..I have never owned anything from REISS I loved the white version of this but when I saw there was a version at all for literally 90% off I was excited...do you see the original tags from Nordstrom???? 290 then 105...huh?? It was $20 on thredUP
and my favorite find...this Nanette Lepore skirt..I admire her store here in Vegas....but honestly I can't or won't afford anything in the store...over $400 ratail at $30 it was a yes....tartan...and oh so unique...love

So that was my thredUP haul...if you haven't perused the site you really should...I will say that it is a little more expensive than your average thrift store...but it is more of a resale shop than a thrift shop....new items with tags and designer pieces most of us will never buy...2 day shipping and no secret lurkers...I can hunt save and buy all while watching Real Housewives..I couldn't not share this with my Thrifters Anonymous family. Happy New Year loves and see you in 2014!!!!

Hi, My Name is {Your Name HERE} I am addicted to Thrifting!
Thrifters Anonymous
Here is how it works...

  • In the "Link it to" section, leave a link to one specific Thrifters Anonymous post from the past week or week prior...doesn't matter...

  • In the "Title" section, tell me what was thrifted cuz you were super excited about your outfit or new couch . An example would be "Thrifted Belt, handmade skirt, & shoes on sale!

  • That's all...and there is no judgement here...everything is worthy...and believe me once you link up you are officially a Thrifters Anonymous Member...FOR EVA..ha ha ok..or as long as I am doing this madness..
