Fab Finds Friday

Ola my lilsugarpies! Its Friday! And I am laggin around this office today, just about as much as I am on a Monday. Yesterday got busy...trust me you have NO idea* but yes, sorry I didn't post AGAIN! But hey, better than never! However, I have incorporated yesterday's post in to today's post...you see I was planning on doing a ThriftStoreThursday post...but let's be flexible people, my life is insane as of the late. Thanks :)
Anywho, we will call this the Friday Fab Finds outfit.
You see, I am a deal finder. A deal maker.
And a dealer breaker, that means, when there is haggling involved I usually come out on top. Which is why I L-O-V-E to share these amazing finds with ya, you see friends help friends out!
Thrift stores are the best places to find amazing vintage finds, and even new clothes at a cheapa*s price. 
Here in the bay Crossroads, is an amazing thrift store I love to get lost in. They are as picky about their clothes, as I am as picky about people who don't have respect...you ain't got it...I don't want it.
So, take a look and see what they have, if your not in the bay check your local listings for a consignment boutique...you will not leave disappointed or empty handed. 

Promise.


Leather Bomber : $8
Shirt : $6 (still had the original tags on it)
Skirt : $5
Shoes : I bought these new, JUST because they were amazing and only $15!
Fab Finds Friday outfit total : $34 and probably one of my favs!



Necklace : Gifted from the M-I-L (totally me and I soo love it!) 


I can't even begin to explain the many ways that these shoes are ahhhmazing!
Love them!


Lovin my snakeskin bracelets right now...I have been pairing them with everything!

So there you have it. I can't say that I know how I come across the deals I do, but I do know that there are deals to be found. Always remember my favoritealltimesaying :

THE SHY GO HUNGRY!


If you don't ask you don't receive people. It's that simple.



To end this Friday post... 
I found this SKITTLES commercial...it was Banned...so don't watch if the picture on your ID is still on the right side.


Really? Taste the Rainbow?
 I gotta go! 

Tootles.

LovePearls

Hey hey hey, you prettylittlesugarplumfaces! I hope your day is going as aahhhmazing as mine. If not grab a cup of joe and relax, we have some good things for you this lovely morning. You see today is a good day. Why? Just because It is!! No special reason but there is enough reason to say that the sun is shining, these gorgeous skies are clear, there are no crows in sight and thisprettylitttlelady has a smile on her face from ear to ear!
You see peeps...today marks the 6 day count down for moving in to our house.   I can't freaking wait and my co-workers can't either, one more hotel shat story and I think they'll hurl me off the roof (If I have to hear another, you will see me doing this to myself!).  But, needless to say, today we get to bid adieu to our lovely hotelmotelholidayinn...yack! And we will be house sitting for some really awesome people who we absolutely love and adore! Oh yeah, and their pups too!

 So, I look at it this way : Phase 2 of Phase 3 down...we are one step closer to our house!

This "move" out of this hotel room prompted me to spring in to full freak out mode about the amounts of crap I have. You see I am in the "get the ish out of my life mode" ... and that friends can include just about anything. So tabulatejewlerymission went off, with-out a hitch, and I found a lot of awesomely fabulous pieces that I've been missing out on wearing! And just in case you were wondering, yes, I brought it ALL with me just so I wouldn't have an madmananxietyattack because I was missing my tinsel.... you see, it helps me shine.

My Jewels Stash...


Found a bag of vintage jewelry, justaboutfreaked&peedmypants!
Can't wait to pair that fabulousness with the amazingness I already have.

 *Bangles are definitely a DO*
&
 Never forget the pearls...or to LOVE!

So sweet peas. I am tickled that I got a chance to show you my tinsel...and it was an awesome feeling to purge all the ish that I don't need! I am so looking forward to heading over to this pageofgoodiesandshimmer. I plan to spice up my jewlery heap by adding this budget friendly yet ahhmazing finds, to my fall wardrobe:


Officially infatuated with them all...and it will total less than $80 bucks! Yep, just like that! All up in youaface!
Well, kids...
Two things before I leave:
One I am not done with you today, Blogger.
Yes, be looking for the Thrift Store Fashion for today's main blog.
We have some fun vintageness that we found at ahhmazing prices.
Two, Remember "money doesn't buy you class" bahaha, no matter how hard you try!


Cheers!

HotelMotelHolidayINN

 Well hello there you smilinglittlesugarplums...Life has been a little more than crazy in our neck of the woods. Actually, it was idiotic,insane,kookiness!

Our life has changed immensely over the course of 3 months. We've got a LOT of good ish in our corner, and you can bet your pretty little bum that we are over the moon about the new changes and exciting times coming....first things first...I missed you! Ok, now on to the real issue at hand.

Welp! WE GOT A HOUSE! It is amazing, with a big back and front yard, fruit trees (one with a tree house!!) and less than 5 minutes to the beach. It is purelyawesome! So, here's the thing, as we all know, nothing happens magically, so while we wait for our house to be ready, we are in Limbo...

All in all, We knew we would have to move, simply because our apartments smelled like crow ish (and so did the manager's mouth), and it was actually all over....it was like walking through this each time I got out of my car....or get the mail...or walk the dog....or just do do anything...


Yeah. Um. NO MO!

Take your crap Marina Cove...and shove it.
#SorryhadtoVent, just believe me when I say to NEVER EVER even THINK about living here!

So, being the CRAP apartments they are, we were left with basically a Hotel as a house for the next 17 days, as they pre-leased our apartment. Yeah, I told them I preleased their a**hole...for MY FOOT! They didn't like that too much but, we we wern't worried about that, we had to concoct a plan to get the BraLito household move underway.

So....we got a S.A.M. If you don't have a SAM, well you don't have a SAM, but let me tell you SAM is Amazingballs compared to the other smack out there.

Meet SAM:




With help of some dayworkers...and some cash later, they turned this:




IN TO THIS:



IT WAS PURELY AWESOMENESS! (so were the margaritas after)

So, now we are staying close to our home in a hotelmotelholidayinn. Oh yeah!  Let me tell you,  I have had WAY WAY WAY too many convos with the "hotel locals" and while I will spare you ALL the details, let's get a quick little run down, of why I feel like showering after each conversation.

So just for your info, if you find yourself living at a hotel, while in between nests, or just because you want to try it out....please remember these bits of advise:

  • Two men who are wearing the same clothing, glasses, and haircuts, in a white SUV are either US Marshalls, or just major CH*DES!
  • If you have to do laundry and there is one washer, per one dryer. Don't be a Raider hater and run up when you see and hear that I am going to the dryer, and put 4 "pieces" of clothing in and not turn it on! Stright up, I'm drying children's clothes, and your tainting them with your hooker outfit!
  • Remember the people that you are talking to have not known you forever, so don't take offense when I puke all over YOUR FACE because you decided to share the story of how you shat yourself. Lady! Yes, LADY! That story WAS NOT NEEDED!
  • You also should wait till your fiancee of 2 DAYS is out of earshot!
Well, that's my babble for the day. I will be posting some more hotel funnies, and some hotel couture as well. You know me and my clothes, so packing all of my things, leaving a select few out was very difficult for me. So difficult, I started throwing in random pieces of clothing just to feel like I had a heavy suitcase. Lesson learned here: Don't forget to ask for a bell boy.  

Toodles,

*Dani*
