He's all right! Aren't you, cat? Poor cat! Poor slob! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day by the river. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's. - Holly Golightly (Breakfast at Tiffany's)

So my huge secret post slightly failed due to lack of a sewing machine... hint hint... Well me and my friend will finish it off later:L

I looove thrift stores... especially sales. A thrift store in the city had a sale and I flipped out... Here are my purchases...

Leave a comment about what you think !

Evanston Days

Capture The Moment - Evanston Days

6/10/10
So me and one of my friends, Emma, decided to go to a near by town, Evanston and check out the stores, restaurant and everything else. I've been to Evanston plenty of times but I decided to take photos.




















 

We ate at this AMAZING place named Red Mango, this flavor is Tangomonium topped with strawberry and chocolate- yummy !











 











I love this tutu... American Apparel is the funnest place in the world clothing wise ! You can go crazy ! This is a black belly shirt paired with a silk white tutu.

Back to my shoe obsession !! All the shoe, all the other photos are also from urban outfitters ! Love this store !







































 

We were searching for some kind of thrift store in which we could find cute clothes for a bargain, well we found this great place in which you can sell your clothes and then buy new ones !! We found coach purses for $20! And free people jeans for $16 !! It was brilliant !! The name of the place was Crossroads Trading Co. Be sure to check it out ! Here are some of our finds:





There is an adorable quaint alley names Bookman's Alley, down this alley is an old bookstore and paint store. Its very cute ! We also found a tarot reader ! My friend brought a great hat (unfortunately we found the same hat for half the price later!) And a store that sold really nice scarf's from India ! All these are photographed below:

Hope you enjoyed the post ! I'm going to do another India one next... I've been a bit lazy and not blogging as much but I do check comments and followers everyday ! So be sure to leave comments and follow ! I love reading them and getting new followers !
