Thrifty shopping in San Diego!

Image
Happy late Thanksgiving friends and families!! I just travelled to San Diego the day before Thanksgiving to spend my some fun time with my friends, and on the way to our hotel, I found that they had this tiny cart that had a bunch of clothes that's on sale. I think they were kind of out season so everything was pretty cheap. I didn't expect much because everything seemed old and floppy, but as I was digging into the cart, my friend found this pink corset that she really liked but was not her size, so, luckily I took over the corset for $7.99. Hahaha thank god! I changed to the corset immediately when I arrived my hotel, and matched it with a denim shorts to create this simple look, I think it goes well with any white or blue jeans. This is how the corset looks like, it's really simple but also with some cute details. I like the fishnet design that suits perfectly with the weather of California, and gives you that "Cal gal" look. I can't wait to sta...

Vintage Online Boutiques

Here are a few online thrift sites you may have been missing out on. ASOS Marketplace  This online boutique is based in the UK but aims to serve the world. They can be a little bit on the pricey side but you can find some really nice pieces from notable brands. They offer a wide vintage selection similar to most thrift shops you've been to. Romwe  Now I have a love-hate relationship with Romwe. Not that i have ever shopped on their website, but there seemed to be mixed reviews. When you go on the site, everything looks amazing and the prices are better than Primark. The problem is the quality, my friend said she had ordered clothing from the site and it was nothing like it was advertised. Now I'm not saying never use Romwe, I'm just saying be ready in case you're disappointed. The Vintage Twin These twin sisters(Morgan and Samantha) are taking thrift shopping to a new level. Unlike other thrift stores that sell the clothes as is, they like to make a couple o...

Look for the day

Today I had few people commenting about my outfit saying it was cool, so, I am the kind of person that lives for the moment when I get compliments about my clothing because I knew I spent an hour in the morning just to pick the outfit for the day (ya all do right). I think it would be fair to share the look with you guys, so you can find some inspirations or get some ideas from it to create something similar or even something new ( hashtag DOYOUEVENFASHUN ). Again, I have my roommate Nan for modeling (thank you Nan!), I got the dress and the sweatshirt this summer from LF, and don't judge me I know the weather was so cold today but I just wanted to wear them one last time this year. I actually have them in mind three months before I actually purchased them, but they were too expensive for me, they were around hundred bucks for each so I couldn't get my hands on them, but guess what, the store went on sale like crazy and I finally got them both for about $80, it's still qu...
