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
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
Ever turn an upcoming event into an excuse to buy an outfit….even though you know very well you probably won’t make it to said event? Jess bought this Nicole Miller dress back in 2011, “for a wedding” in Australia, haha. A wedding we never ever attended. So, here it is, finally having its moment in the spotlight–just six years later. Jess’s dress (does this qualify … Continue reading Thrifted Thursdays: 03.16.17
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
