I've got some catching up to do + a thrifting haul

Hey guys! I realize I haven't updated in an unacceptable amount of time, for that, I apologize. In my defence the last few months of school were insane, but (on a brighter note) I finished my first year of university! (insert cheering here). I spent a good week after that just getting my body calibrated back to normal with some R & R but I'm back on track (insert cheering here as well). It would be ridiculous to try and give a full update so I'll keep it short and simple. Since my last post I have:

• Finished my dress for school which was awarded the "Marketability of Design" award (I'll post pictures of that sometime soon).
• Begun plans on a new Youtube segment called Broke but Creative (if you steal this idea, I'll be after you)
• Organized and put my life together.
• Listened to One Direction an unhealthy amount of times (I'm obsessed, don't judge me).

These last few weeks I have also thrifted so much that I've begun a second "closet" on the side of my room. About 90% of the things that I bought, won't be featured in this post because I am going to have them featured in future DIY posts, so stay tuned for that! Till then I thought I could share some of the things I've found here. vintage mirror I painted white $4 Vintage Rabbit Fur Collar $4 Vintage Purse $2 This purse is so unique and different, although not in the best condition, I want to try and fix it up Free People Lace Top $2 Doesn't look the best laying there all limp and lifeless, I agree... but when you put it on it looks SO nice! Collar $4 Shoes $4 The picture doesn't do these justice but they are brand new suede shoes in mint condition! Extremely comfortable too! I love them so much! Purse $2 Leotard $2Not the best picture but it seriously looks amazing worn, the sheer on the back dips low on the back with a cut down the middle that meets at the top. One of my favourites, I'm considering adding studs to the bodice on the cups (not sure yet) Vintage fabric and leather $3 each[/caption] This leather is AMAZING! Super soft! I can't believe I got it for $3, I have enough to make a pair of shorts and a skirt!!! AHH! I'M EXCITED Sheer crop top with peter pan collar $2.. again, looks amazing once worn! Would look great paired with a high waisted skirt or a nice pair of high waisted shorts. Books $2 each[/caption] So excited to have a line up of books for the summer! It's always good to buy recycled books too! Sewing Machine $5
Yea, I'm amazed too. Can't believe I got this for $5! It's super cute and old, I love the shiny handles and it works GREAT! It has a lot of similarities to the industrial sewing machines I use at school. Hope you enjoyed seeing what I was able to find for less than $5! These were all purchased at thrift stores and at a rummage sale I went to a few weeks ago. I'm going to be posting a beauty post soon and an update on the Lou Lou Magazine event I'm going to tomorrow! till then! xx
