New sideboard before and after Reno

I've fixed up this sideboard I purchased from eBay. Some new white draws freshen it up. And take it from looking like nanas hand-me-down to a cute vintage gem. all up it cost me $47 for sideboard and $11 for paint.

on your shirt?? WRONG!!!... Every time you lean over..crack! they have landed on the floor

collar up

Time to get collared
A super easy super cheap way to get hot right now. Inspired by the miu miu cat collars Ive found some cheaper alternatives to try out this trend.
1- DIY itss sooooo easy all you need in one collard shirt (get thrifty and op shop one) and one sharp pair of scissors... easy. Make sure you leave the top button.
2- Too lazy? try these ebay links. cheap and easy

bags bags bags

It has come to my attention that i have a bag addiction. not just any bags however, just modedrately priced designer bags. my strange addiction: girl with too many bags.
a list of my 5 most recent bags include:
vintage moshino brown bag: $90
mimco black tote : $299 (on sale)
marc by marc jacobs navy tote: $289 (on sale)
marc by marc jacobs baby bag $299
kate spade paisley clutch ($199)
(These prices are guesstimates I lose track of prices very quickly)

I do believe however that a bag really does make an outfit.
I like my bags to match my outfit. I am not one to just purchase one black bag for all occasions. Im also a sucker for an "it" bag but also find an "it" bag has an expiry date. eg..alexander wang rocco duffel. So I do tend to go for the "it" bags boring cousin to get a bit more wear out of it.

Lounge room

Here are some happy snaps of my lounge room. I love color so naturally I couldn't stick to a color scheme. I like a good mix of craft, vintage finds and new. Plus lots of textiles to make the room feel 'comfy'
