We live in a small town. 900 people small. (We thought it was around 700 until last month when we read the town’s population printed in the local paper, haha). We’re always on the lookout for new nooks and crannies to photoshoot in, since you’re probably sick of seeing the same wall in the background over and over and over again, haha. It gets a … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 03.09.17
We’ve been home for a week now. We came home with twice the luggage we left with, haha. Funny how that happens, hey?! We found so many pretty secondhand things in Australia. (In our defense, we only bought about a quarter of what we wanted to buy and bring home, haha). (We probably spent just as much on burgers as we did on clothes). Thrift/Secondhand … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 03.02.17
The draft of this post is being brought to you by my current in-flight indecision on whether I want to watch “Arrival” or “Lion”. This flight from Vancouver to Montréal is around five hours long, so I could probably watch both, now that I think about it. We’re down to the short flights. YVR to YUL. YUL to home. The worst of it is done: … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 02.23.17
So we recently spent a couple days down in Hobart, Tasmania. We were 18,000 km away from home in Newfoundland & Labrador. (How much further can one actually get on the globe? Geography experts–let us know, haha). When walking off the plane in Hobart, we immediately noticed the temperature change. The fleece leggings were back on! We were froze in the early mornings going around … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 02.16.17
Leave it to us to land in Sydney during a heat wave. It’s not much use complaining, we did come to Australia in the MIDDLE OF SUMMER. On purpose, at that. We would also feel bad complaining since facebook makes us well aware of the snowfall slash freezing cold situation back home. So. This was a fairly simple Thrifted Thursday, since most of what’s in … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 02.09.17
We’re currently en route from winter in Newfoundland to summer in Australia…via Vancouver, haha. It made packing a single backpack a little tricky, outfit-wise. After one evening in Vancouver, we realized we didn’t bring enough layers with us. So we got up the next day and headed to our favourite Vancity secondhand treasure troves: Value Village and Front & Company. We were saved by Free … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 02.02.17
It feels pretty sweet when you score designer duds at thrifty prices. Which is what happened this past week, thanks to the super-duper flea market-esque sale Model Citizens had on the go. As much as we drool over what walks down the runways at Fashion Week, our lifestyle just doesn’t support that kinda price tag, haha. (We’ve actually walked away from a couple dresses at … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 01.26.17
We spent much of Tuesday afternoon browsing the thrift shops in St. John’s. We’re typically rushed on Tuesdays, since we’re often going here and there picking up trunk-loads of butter, flour, and icing sugar. We had some extra time this week, so we spent it browsing the secondhand racks literally hanger by hanger. What usually happens is whoever’s wearing the least complicated outfit is on … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 01.20.17
Spend enough time shopping at secondhand stores, and eventually thrifted finds take over your closet. That’s what has happened to us, anyways. We love getting inspired while browsing and sorting through the racks at thrift shops. It’s like a feelgood (and good-for-the-environment) treasure hunt. This year, we’re dedicating Thursday posts to looks created with secondhand clothing. We’ll even try to add in some footwear and … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 01.12.17
It’s January. Again. Is it a sign of age when you start thinking each year goes by faster than the last? January’s a good month for cleaning up–the files on one’s laptop, for instance. Which is how I came across the forgotten photos in this post. Let’s all remember how nice our weather was back in the Fall. (It’s easier to do when you ignore … Continue reading Stages of Many Colours on the Baccalieu Trail
