My latest finds/diy project

So I've been making regular trips to my local Salvation Army, and Goodwill, and I wanted to share with you guys my latest finds. I think I love thrifting so much because you never know what you're going to come across. The saying,"One man's trash is another man's treasure"... oh so true.


Yes ladies n' gents your eyes haven't decieved you.. I found this gem at the Salvation Army..I almost had a heartattack when I read the label. The best part, it was marked for .99.

I'm sooo proud of this find! This a (1983-1990) Dooney& Bourke carrier shoulder bag in bone that I got for $5.99 at the Salvation Army.




This messanger bag I got for my own personal use. The leather is so broken in and soft. I haven't gotten a chance to research its history, I'm quite curious to find out who makes it, and how old it is. 





DIY inspired by Lions,Tigers,& Fashions Oh My(inspired by the Alexander Wang Diego)

I came across this brilliant idea from the blog Lions, Tigers, & Fashions Oh My. If are unaware of this blog I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. She is the queen of diy and thrifting. I found the perfect purse to try this out on at the Goodwill. I haven't finished it yet because I underestimated the amount of studs I needed so I just had to order more. I'll be sure to snap a picture of it when I'm all finished.



before:shoulder strap bucket purse


After: this is such a tedious diy lol well worth it tho



The actual Alexander Wang Diego
