Jersey - Vintage Fubu / Leather Pants - Thrifted / Snapback - Ham on Everything

Football shouldered shirts, jackets, and sweaters were one of my favorite trends from last season. A look that I definately loved, but wondered how I could translate it to my everyday wardrobe. It never occurred to me that perhaps an actual football inspired piece would be easy enough to find. On Value Village 50% off day I snagged this vintage Fubu Jersey and it is actually perfect - great fabric weight, wide sleeves, even the font is weirdly amazing. There is a definite Shaun Samson feel to it, which makes me love it even more. All for the price tage of $7. Can't beat that!

Currently Coveting: Jeremy Scott x Adidas Ponyhair Creepers

If you know me, you know how much I love Jeremy Scott. I've been wearing him for years. I remember trying to search him on eBay/Google and getting nothing. I'm not exaggerating. It would be next to impossible to find any of his pieces anywhere. Then came the Adidas collaboration. What was once a dead-end search has turned into a treasure trove of decently affordable pieces. I've become a collector of sorts, treating myself once or twice a year to one of his iconic and recognizable pieces. One of the newer additions to the group are these Adidas cowhide pony hair sneakers. A shoe that is juuuuust wearable for everyday life without compromising the Jeremy Scott aesthetic. I have somewhat spoiled myself the last few months, so I'll have a few more Jeremy pieces to share in the coming weeks!

Bad Timing

I decided to take a look at Value Village yesterday which happened to be the day after their big 50% off day, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I'm so glad I went because I managed to find four incredible pairs of sunglasses. Most of the tags said they were on the floor for the sale. I still can't comprehend why no one snagged these. Oh well! All the better for me! Perhaps with the coming of winter people wouldn't think to look for sunglasses. You've got to plan ahead, people!!

An incredible pair of orange circle shades. I can't believe these were thrifted! For a better look at the color click here


Rounded tortoise shell glasses with metal frame.

By far the best find of the day: Vintage Rayban wayfarers in brown. I still can't get over these. I'm so used to seeing bad knock off wayfarers I almost didn't look at these, but I'm so glad I did. Raybans have such a unique shape that is impossible to replicate or duplicate, and this is especially true with vintage pairs. The tag on these said they had been on the floor for over a week. I really don't understand how they weren't snatched up at 50% off day but hey, I'm not complaining!
Now... to plan a sunny vacation to get use out of these...

Thrifting with PULLTEETH

Went shopping with my girl Kylie of Nice and Shiny last week and we recorded this little video. She was being a little camera shy so here's me trying on the nicest stuff we could find....

Kind of wish I bought the garbage bag looking black jacket now... hmmm...

Reporting to you LIVE from Toronto

Hey all. Just a quick update from the beautiful city of Toronto. I've been doing a lot of shopping and a lot of eating (which is okay with me) Here's a few things I notice about Toronto and my stay in general

• People in the prairies are more polite
• Doc Martens are not appropriate for walking
• H&M is nice and good and pretty
• I am bad at packing
• I don't take photos anymore
• Toronto is nice, I could live here

Okay so I thought I would show you my favorite purchase so far.. how sweet is this windbreaker/poncho from H&M?

Notice my snarky little smile in the first picture. I'm pretty pleased with myself on this find.

But the cream of the crop of my shopping stories goes hands down to this next one... I was shopping solo this afternoon and I thought I would give Urban Outfitters a second chance. (I came out empty handed the first run) I went to the sale section and was looking through jeans. I've wanted a pair of light colored denim for a while and I found a pair of Cheap Mondays that were definitely worn before. They had no tags so I took them to the front and asked how much they would charge me for them. The manager said since they were clearly worn I could just take them. How crazy is that? They were my size and I'm wearing them right now to be honest. 

More updates when I return home on Tuesday. Bye bye
