friday

Today I was off from work, and was supposed to be doing more packing than I did.. but I did a little, and I got a few things for our new place, and stopped at the post office. So it was a semi productive day. I have some vegan chili cooking right now, gonna be ready when Jeremy gets home at 6, what a good girlfriend I am :)

This necklace is the only thing I actually bought at the Brimfield antique fair when I went up earlier this month. I was only there the weekend before the show started, and I wasn't planning on buying anything, but the tent next to ours had all these BEAUTIFUL indian things, jewelry and rugs and baskets.. all handmade and so lovely! I stopped to take a look one day, said I was working next door and I asked the price. The guy said "for you.. $12!" I'm not sure if it was my good looks or the fact that I was a worker setting up tent right next door, but It was a deal! It was hard to choose which one, as they were all as beautiful as this one. I am not that big on jewelry and I hardly wear any, but I do want to start geting some more statement necklaces, and this one sure does the trick. If the beautiful blue stones don't get your attention, the jingling will!

The rest of this outfit is very simple, thrifted cropped top that goes well with many skirts, and this navy blue skort I thrifted in SC 2 years ago. Last summer and the one before this skort was a go to item, and I made sure to leave it out for my last days on LI while packing up everything else. The shoes I think have made an appearance on here before too, these babies have been with me for like 4 years, and they are so falling appart, but so comfy! I need to invest in a new pair of woven leather flats, I just hate that break-in period!

And just a reminder! Tonight I will be putting my shop on vacation mode till after I move and settle in. Also the last day to save 30% ON ANYTHING!! with the code "SUMMERHAZE" Don't miss out. And I'm only 7 sales away from 200!!.. just sayin' ;)

last hurrah

Last night Jeremy and I had a little going away party in our backyard and it had quite the turn out! I would say about 30 people at one point, which is the biggest party we ever had. Everyone really wanted to come out and hang one last time before we left, mostly TJ's people. I really can say that those people are like a family to me sometimes,I have been working at Trader Joe's for quite some years, and have always made friends out of my crew mates. I'm gonna miss seeing them every day.

Before the party really got started Ali and I had a little photo shoot, and she even let me get some photos of her! She always has the best pins and trinkets, and how cute are her little denim cut offs. Ali is planning a move to Washington state later this year.. I'm going to be sad! But I will have a best friend in the woods who I can go visit now and then, when I need to get out of the city.

Since I have had most of my clothing packed up since last week, I left out a select few dresses, mainly new Donnaland dresses so I could force myself to wear them haha. Not like I need the forcing or anything, they are all so cute, but it's fun to only have to work with like 10 things, when I'm so used to like 10 dozen! This dress is obviously one of those dresses, I really love the color and the cute ruffle detail that make a simple cut dress like this really stand out. I have been all about just throwing on a cute vintage dress recently, and not much else. It's nice to not really have to think about it durring the summer.

golden fur vintage update

Just listed a bunch of new things to the shop! Most of them are gems I got from Donnaland that have all been hand washed by yours truly! This will be my last shop update before the big move, I plan to close up shop on friday the 29th, only a few days away! But don't worry! As soon as I'm settled things will be up and running. But for this week only you can get all these cuties with the 30% off sale I still have going on! Use code "SUMMERHAZE" at checkout on ANY ITEM!!

So drop on by Golden Fur Vintage for pretty things and great prices!

Photobooth photo-dump part 2

I know things have been a bit quiet around here, at this point I have most of my clothing packed, pretty much all of our books, now I'm moving onto the breakable things! Packing sucks, but moving is exciting! And now there is only a little over a week before we move, next wednesday we are having a little going away party.. it's all really happing!

So since I don't have much to post on here these days, what with the being real busy and the CRAZY "heat dome" we have been experiencing (something like 111 with the heat index today.. yikes!) I figured I would do another one of these photobooth photo posts! The last time I did this was back in February as sort of 2010 recap post and I thought it was fun. So these photos here sort of start off where those left off, right after I dyed my hair darker in February. So enjoy photos of me and my cats (okay..lots of cats!) and Jeremy making weird faces!
