An Homage to the 80s

I got this sassy little 80s number when I went to Jet Rag last weekend for $1!!!! Let me repeat that again, $1!!! Amazing, right!!! Still trying to figure out if I should cut it up and refashion it.....hmmmmmm.........stay tuned on that note.

And it clearly fits me like a glove....

Thrift Store Diving

Anybody who really knows me, knows that I love a good bargain. Over the holiday weekend I went to one of my favorite thrift stores in L.A. called Jet Rag for their $1 sale. I absolutely loved it!!!! I found some really great stuff that I hope to transform into something better. Check out the photos to see the animal in her natural habitat!!!
