This will be a quick little post from us today. We’re busy preparing ourselves to make 800 cupcakes tomorrow. (Does that even make sense? haha. Basically, we’re trying to get everything else done today so we can be cupcake-machines tomorrow.) Jess channeled her inner Effie Trinket in a big, blue way. This is one of the coolest dresses we’ve ever found at a Value Village. … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 05.11.17
If you haven’t noticed, the 90s are back. They’re back in a BIG way. That ice blue crushed velour top I had with the mock neck?–I should have kept it around. Jess’ tattoo choker that she wore 24/7/365 in 1998? It’s so back. Like, totally. Strappy tank tops and platform shoes and flannel plaids? Yep. A Clueless remake? Well, not yet. (And that fake Facebook post circulating … Continue reading Give ’em the Slip (Dress)
Nothing like a weekly blog post to make us realize just how quickly weeks are going by, haha. We did something crazy this week and took outfit photos outside Port de Grave! We headed to nearby Brigus. If you’ve never been, the town’s basically a postcard. For real. It definitely deserves its own blog post. It’s on our list, folks. Jess picked up this adorable … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 05.04.17
Not sure why, but we’ve been digging the long black dresses lately. ESPECIALLY if they involve lace or mesh. It could just be they’re classic? Or the fact they contrast so lovely against coloured hair? Or it’s possible we’re in a dark mood since it’s still cold and snow still falls? (We are your typical Canadians. Can’t even write a blog post without mentioning the … Continue reading The Long Black Dress
We don’t wanna jinx it, but can we finally say it’s Spring? Is it safe to take the snow tires off the car, or should we wait until after May 2-4? Tights are annoying, can our legs get away without them? Jess, never the one to shy away from wearing all the colours at once, paired this floral off-the-shoulder Betsey Johnson top with a mustard … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 04.27.17
Sometimes we’ve thrift-shopped in a hurry. It’s not exactly an enjoyable way to do it, but it certainly forces one to prioritize, haha. (Trying things on in a fitting room? Completely out of the question!) Even when we’re pressed for time, we’ll always have a quick browse up and down the ‘Light Jackets’ section. They’re a little heavier and bulkier than shirts, so they’re faster … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 04.20.17
Not sure how it goes for the rest of the world, but we get a nice day around here and basically think it’s Summer. Until the following day, that is, when it drops back down to freezing. One nice day’s good enough for us to bare our legs and pack up the puffy winter jackets, haha. All very premature on our part. Breaking news: Jess … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 04.13.17
Today was maybe the most “Spring-like” day we’ve had since the season officially began. (Never mind all the Bays currently packed with ice and the absolute madness that is the amount of snow that fell out in Central NL recently and the fact most of the province probably looks like an ice planet.) One could dart from the house to the shed without a jacket … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 04.06.17
The amount of time we’ve spent staring out the window in the past few days is a little ridiculous, haha. We admit it–we’re completely mesmerized by the Bay packed full of ice. It showed up in a steady stream over the weekend, like a parade in which only ice floats participated. (There were probably a few seals and birds, too). Yesterday morning, the Bay was … Continue reading The Ice is in.
Y’know what grabs our attention more than anything else when we’re browsing through the racks at secondhand shops? LACE. No matter how much of a rush we’re in, if we spy something made of lace, we pretty much HAVE to stop and look at it, haha. We’ve probably been late because of secondhand lace. It could be a skirt for toddlers–we have to at least … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 03.30.17
