Today's Treasures

A SNEAK PEEK:





Thanks Sherry Lou for showing me some awesome San Diego hot spots including Whatever in La Mesa and the Lemon Grove Am Vets (that is where I picked up the baby blue pumps!) 


I highly recommend Whatever, a cute & quaint store where you can find adorable new and even used finds! I bought a vintage 80's black & white dress, and two other steals for under $30. Now, that is a deal! Am Vets on the other hand was great, aside from the fact that there were a few items that were definitely over priced...and for AM Vets? But I did pick up the blue pumps for a super sweet deal of $6, cannot really beat that! After our thrifty afternoon, Sherry's mom made the most delicious burgers for dinner that had mushrooms, ahhhmazing! Expect a blog post about my attempt at recreating mushroom burgers of my own :)

Thrifty

It's so true that you really will find the most unexpected treasures in the most unexpected places. Case in point: I always seem to find the best vintage and thrifty finds at the Salvation Army conveniently located just a few blocks from my parents house. Today was one of those really-awesome-everything-is-going-swell days and so I decided a trip to one of my favorite SA  was in order. I was also inspired by Chelsea Lane's fashion blog [zipped] post on how to thrift, which offers some awesome insider tips from a real expert! 

Here are a few things Bo and I found that I would agree are perfect for the chilly weather that San Diego and Los Angeles have been experiencing lately. I totally had chunky knits on the radar!
