Snake Belt

So as promessed before, here are my thrifting finds from last week-end...well at least some of them. This big yard sale was organized by the region's boys scout to raise some money for their activities. When it come to helping by buying vintage clothes I'm always the first to come forward. I'm only showing you my favorite pieces but I got a bunch of other stuff such as a white lace cropped camisole which will be great worn underneath low-cut tops. The flats and belt I got at my favorite thrifting place on monday for only 2$. How amazing is that!?
Now on to the pièce de résistance, the gorgeous brown leather lounge chair I found on the side of the road on my way home from The Kills concert. Don't worry, it's never been my thing to rummage through other people's garbage but it was just laying there on the side of the road all by itself. Finally, at 1 o'clock in the morning, I decided that the chair needed a new home and that mine would be perfect. It looks beautiful in the basement and I cannot wait to take it with me when I move out of the parent's place.

Donc, comme promis auparavent, je vous présente mes découvertes de thrifting de la semaine passée...en fait, une partie d'entre elles. Cette grosse vente de garage était organisé par les scouts de la région afin d'amasser de l'argent pour leurs diverses activités. Quand vient le temps d'aider les gens en achetant des vêtements vintages, vous pouvez être certain que je suis la première à aider. Je vous montre seulement mon morceau favori mais j'y ai trouvé une panoplie de belles choses dont un jolie bustier de dentelle blanche que je pourrai porter sous des chandails trop décoltés. Les ballerines et la ceinture j'ai trouvées dans mon magasin vintage préféré pour seulement 2$. Fantastique! Non!?
Maintenant passons à la pièce de résistance, un magnifique sofa lounge de cuir brown trouvé sur le bord de la rue à mon retour du concert de The Kills. Pas d'inquiétude, ça n'a jamais été mon genre de fouiller dans les poubelles des gens mais, il était seul sur le côté du chemin. Finalement, à environ 1 heure du matin, j'ai décidé que cette chaise avait besoin d'une nouvelle maison et que la mienne serait parfaite pour l'acceuillir. Elle fait très beau dans mon sous-sol et j'ai déjà très hâte de l'apporter avec moi quand je quitter la maison de mes parents.

OMG, you found a leather fainting couch? I would have skipped the concert and been hauling that baby home asap!

I love the Gucci (obviously lol) and that snake belt is phenomenal! I actually bought a similar one at UO last summer but i had to return it, as much to my disappointment, it broke almost immediately (not very surprising though in terms of UO quality ;))

And the couch.....cannot believe what great shape it's in! It's such a retro piece with so much glamour potential- in a massive living room with high ceilings....i l o v e it! and it r e a l l y suits your style!!

People really do waste some good things! I suppose someone else could that the chair, but I mean you could even re upholster it?! There isn't anything wrong with the shape.

Imagine the comfort of reading a long book on it......mm
