bathing suit blues.

   So it's been raining here for the past week and I think i might have to start building an arc of my own.  I'm pretty much sick and tired of it. Where is summer? I need the sun, I need the beach, I need BBQ's and wearing cute summer dresses! The weather is really making me feel horrible and I don't even feel like getting dressed which is something I'm not used to.  I have also been pretty busy thanks to some baby-sitting which I'm pretty thankful for because of the much needed money.  I really am buying way to many things and my wallet can't keep up with it.  I did however spend the day with my mother and aunt and got some things, for free!

With all this rain I don't know if I'll ever be able to wear this outside of my house but I'm praying for a day full of sun! Although I was somewhat apprehensive because of it being white and me loving the ocean I bought it anyway.  I couldn't resist the vintage feel to it! Hopefully it will stop raining soon and I'll be able to wear this to a real beach and not only in my bathtub.

rainy rain.

So, it's raining once again but what has cheered me up is my recent purchase from ebay! I won a dress last night and I can't wait to receive it in the mail.  It has the sweetest large front pockets and is trimmed with blue ric rac. 

I was also browsing through ebay and found some other pretty nice dresses that I wish I could buy. All of them having a green/yellow color scheme.

1. 50's sheer summer dress
2. 50's/60's atomic print day dress
3. 50's botanical print day dress (i wish this fit me!)
4. 50's handmade green plaid dress

Check out these too! here and here

in the middle of the night.

So I went to two thrift stores today, somewhat disappointing.  The first one is a usual for me but today it seemed like the prices of everything went up, by alot!  There were fur capes which I always have my eye on but the prices are just to high for me at the moment and this adorable little purse which I was all ready to buy thinking it was a steal at $2.45 but no, I was wrong.  I went up the pay and it was actually $24.95!  Man, I hate when that happens.  I didn't have enough money to buy it and am still pretty bummed about it.  I also visited a local salvation army and bought some things.  I ended up with two dresses, one blouse, one striped t-shirt, a little girls dress that I wish I could fit into, a smock/apron, a towel and three really adorable drinking glasses with dogs on them.

just a sample of what I bought today.

Cute right? we'll I think so. After reading so many blogs and being in awe of everyone's wardrobes, I often wondered how much you girls think is too much to spend on an item? $10,$30,$100? holla at me.<3333

why hello.

I've had this blog for a few months now and never really had the chance to start it. Not to mention I was somewhat nervous about the whole thing. Well, here I go. I suppose I'll introduce myself. My name is Heather, I am twenty years old and currently reside in New Jersey.  I am a student studying photography but love all things art related.  I am obsessed with thrifting and shopping of any kind, it's sort of a problem, haha.  My room is basically a giant closet and I'm always in the mood to start a new collection. (I'll show you what I mean).

Well, that's enough about me for now.  It's been raining for the past week and today the sun is actually out, except it's alittle to humid for my liking.  I think I may be going to some thrift stores today, nothing new.  You know, spending the money that I don't have.  Oh I also am in the process of putting some stuff up in my etsy store.  I'll keep you updated.  I have some pretty nice things that will be at a reasonable price. You can see some on my flickr, here. Well Thank you for reading and I hope you'll come back!
