shopping with my mother is always good...

yesterday morning i hopped in the car and drove to my parent's house to pick up my mom. we were off on a grand adventure to Monroe. our mission? vintage goodness and maybe something from forever 21. as big as Shreveport is, you would think we would have a forever21 by now. :( anyway, i ended up spending about $70 the entire day! my mom bought most of my things. she is very generous. :) here's my fun vintage goodness...

i was really excited about the owl trivet. i've been looking for the larger size for a while now. i've seen lots on etsy, but i wanted to find one in a shop, digging through piles of junk. and that's what i did. i guess it's the thrill of the hunt. the canisters made me giddy as well. they are in such good condition! i'm looking forward to adding those to my kitchen. so, remember my cupcake tier? i painted it. it didn't turn out exactly like i pictured, by it's still much better than the chrome.

here's the before...

and the after...

i decided on the pink. i might get tired of it soon, but i guess that's the good thing about paint, right?

my sister-in-law and her husband live in Colorado now and apparently the thrifting there is amazing. she was kind enough to buy me these...

sweet, right? i was on a roll with painting things so i decided to give the baby owl a little makeover.

yesterday i wore my liberty of london trench for the first time. i think it was the first time in a month i was glad it was chilly.

i love this coat. so glad i got to wear it. we ran into the Target in Monroe yesterday and i snagged a liberty picture frame and tray. good day...

how was yours?
