Tis thread moves so fast when I can't check and comment everyday.....I love everyone's finds! I have a few to post later but just want to say CONGRATS, Jama! You should feel so proud of yourself!! Indulge the moment and enjoy some time for yourself:wahoo:
 
If I have to buy every glass jar of every old lady that is stuffed with buttons ... I'll do it. I don't care. One day maybe you all will need a massive amount of buttons n glass jars to save the world and you'll know who to turn to.

Raven! Freakin Pucci Scarf for pennies! Nicely done and I love $1.50 day!
 
Wanted to share the Last part of my insanity during my Vegas/Phoenix trip! It's non thrifted! Which makes it an even bigger problem, here is my new Hermes Kelly Dog along with my thrifted hermes double tour bracelet and cheap almost thrifted Givenchy Antigona!ImageUploadedByPurseForum1371334858.046723.jpg
 
I have yet to read my thrifted copy, but a couple of weeks ago I thrifted a Paolo Gucci watch.
By the way, I bought this thrifted Christian Dior sweater for $1.75 and never posted.

Very nice sweater!

[quote="jamamcg, post: 24802630"]So unbelievably nervous. Today I graduate. Wish me luck.

Congratulations! Just from curiosity, do you sing Gaudeamus on graduations?

Claudia, Made in Italy...little confused. Is it Claudia Firenze, because there is no Firenze and I see a crown. Is this Claudia Firenze?

I found a cool Kate Spade, the handles aren't looking to good; but overall the bag is too cute.

I am out on a mission to find Marc Jacobs, so far I have found 2 fake ones, one of them was sold for $180 :throwup:

Laz, oh Laz...I need a button..preferably blue. I have to save the world!:lolots:
Thanks Laz, I love $1.50 day as well.
 
So pretty!

Turns out my MJ handbag was authentic and I place it on the bay. It was small, but the colors are so sweet. I hope you find one and thanks about the Pucci.
 
Did you notice if the hardware was marked anywhere?

Nothing, sadly! Which I thought was odd, for a bag of that quality. Funnily enough, it was still there when I went today, though everything else from last time was gone :P.

Love that last one! :smile:

I kind of do too, maybe I'll buy it if it's still around on half price day :P.

Is anyone an expert on Vintage Designers (like Yves Saint Laurent)? I went to the Consignment Store with my friends and she bought this. The owner thought it was '60's. My friend thinks it's '80's. I haven't got a clue. They also had three of the oldest, coolest Chanel bags I have ever seen (for $1800 each-yeah, right).

Gorgeous!! What a find. The nosy part of me wants to ask...how much :angel:?

Today I found these Frye boots in my size for $13. They look brand new but a dog chewed up the leather sole (can't really see it). Look at that color.... Glorious! Did i mention they are made in USA? Also found Tory sandals for $7 not sure if I will keep those.
Also pictured a TJ find MbMJ silk toucan top $20

Those boots are awesome! Great find on the Marc Jacobs top!

Krissy I'm so sorry that you had to deal with arrogant and ignorant bastar....,
On a lighter note, here are some of the things I found on buffalo exchange!

Pierre balmain dress, Givenchy jacket and Isabel marant skirt with tag retail$880!
I also found this Alice and Olivia dress
View attachment 2212054
Vince leggings, ySL logo tshirt that retails for $290 and Helmut Lang top! I am over the moon!

Oh my goodness..those are fantastic! It would have been crazy to not pick them up! I'm in love with that jacket.

I went out thrifting this morning and found a couple of items. One is a Judith Leiber snakeskin belt for $2.99. I think the buckle should have been gold...not sure, but it is a nice belt.
"

Great find, that's such a nice belt!

Last one
Prada jimmy choo and Tory clutch

You made out like a bandit! Geez, most people wait their whole lifetime to find things you find in one visit :P. I love that burberry trench and those vince leggings.

Great haul Pao!


I waited and waited and waited and finally came a week when blue tags in SA are 50% off, so here it is:

There are some numbers on the inside, only explanation I could figure out is that maybe they were on the leather before the bag was made :thinking: Any more ideas?

Very nice! I like the tag too, the illustration is neat.

Hubs is ok.

I told him the ties I got him on Sunday were so fancy and designer that they should be bulletproof.

He's getting lots of emails from student who were in the Library the day of the shooting laying on the floor as bullets went thru the drywall and students who were barricaded in their classrooms for hours.

So yeah, brutal. 5 people dead and the shooter was in the math class of one of Hubs' students also last year.

Hubs won't have to go back for a week, so I'm basically in denial that he'll ever need to go back.

Thanks you Loves for the kind concern. I really could not believe it when the computer system called and said in the female robot voice, "There is a shooter on Campus ...."

That's horrible! I'm so glad your husband is ok. You poor thing, I can't imagine how shaken up you are *hugs you*.

Not to make light of scary situaitons, but I have to share my find today thanks to Lazlo's quick answer :smile:

Christian Dior skirt suit. The skirt is a pencil skirt. I have a woman's business networking lunch coming up and call me crazy I'm thinking of wearing this with the Jeffrey Campbell Nighwalkers? yes? Or absolutely NO?

Here's the suit that I squeezed myself into the skirt :biggrin: I also removed shoulder pads the size of my head!

Love it, what a great find! The tailoring looks superb. How much was it?

I fixed the Tory's...
"
I bought these, they were different and cost $1
"
I bought this vintage Bass lizard clutch for 90 cent...it had white paint on it, but I managed to clean it;
now I need to condition it...
"
and I bought this Waterman pen for $1. Does anyone know anything about it?
"

Good job fixing it, it looks new! And the pen and clutch were amazing finds.

Yet another Coach SCORE at Goodwill - found OUTSIDE the glass case:
Black 2002 Legacy West Small Zoe Hobo - $14.99
...and, drum roll please...ROSE 2006 Legacy Leather Shoulder Bag - $6.99 - say WHAT?
Both are currently in rehab and doing very well!

Beautiful, especially the rose one!

Yay!! Score on the vintage perfume!! I LOVE that older perfumes were sold in such enormous bottles!! Another thing they just don't do like they used to...

I'm beginning to wonder if our thrift stores donate foo-foo to women's shelters. It's been ages since I've seen any. And OF COURSE, I'm okay with them donating to gals in need. Whatever gives one a pick-me-up :smile:

Hehe! When thrifting like pieces I often dream up stories of the person who owned them! And eighties clothes are especially fun! I always picture the Golden Girls, lol. They rocked so hard!

And Laz, not to bring it up again, but I feel for you. Wish I could bring you a fuzzy, heavy blanket and some hot tea. Do you take lemon?

:heart:

I'll never, EVER understand the senseless violence. I mean, don't get me wrong, I most certainly like animals more than most people, but... Nope, I still can't fathom it. I wish mental health wasn't such a taboo topic in America. I truly believe it all starts there. And not to sound harsh, but if you're tortured why not just take your own life and be done with it? Oy, that sounds harsh, but I hope you know what I mean :heart:

*biggest hugs around*

My favourite perfume comes in a 2.7 LITRE bottle. Sounds right up your alley (though you will need about $2K :P).

So unbelievably nervous. Today I graduate. Wish me luck.

Congrats!
