Someone mentioned they wanted to see some of my paris decor. I don't have alot since I just started collecting and making it to go with my shabby chic/girly/colorful decor in my closet/girl room lol. Thats a mouthful. My goal is to keep it to just using thrifted or bargain hunted items and to D.I.Y alot.

So the picture frames were each around $2 and I used images from Pinterest and a calender for inside them. Mirror got over the weekend at a yard sale for $5.

My husband found the PARIS sign at goodwill for $4.99 years ago and decided to recently give it to me and he found the Effel Tower for me too.

I hang my clothes on only thrifted hangers, probably paid $15 tops for them all :P

Trifted the tray for $2 and painted it, cheeta skin was free at a yard sale, and Pais dish was $1 and Paris book box was free!
 
I bought a bunch of things I don't need today....
Dress Form thing-It is really cute, but I am not sure what I should do with it. It is almost 3'. Any suggestions?
I bought this cute jacket for the lining. It was too cute to pass up.
I love the dress frame. You could just use it for decoration. That jacket is lovely, I see why you were attracted to the lining.

:loveeyes::loveeyes::loveeyes::loveeyes: Finger crossed for you! Your DD scored an amazing bag!!!

Also, the Bruno Magli is TDF - I have a soft spot for lizard bags!

It is confirmed: real! I knew it. The leather is sooo soft! This will be going on eBay for sure, I am so glad I'm not the only one who sells her "thrifted treasures". I enjoy selling my finds that aren't really my style and putting the money towards something that I will truly love and use. Also, so glad someone mentioned Storage Wars! My hubby and I are addicted to it! Of course, I also may have the tiniest crush on Barry.....
 
PFF's, I had a good day.....
I finally found a Bally. It's a travel bag and cost $10;

Oh I love Barry too. Storage Wars is one of my favorites! Congrats on the handbag!
 
St. John pants (they have a riri zipper, I thought riri was just for high end bags). They are super soft and fit perfectly.
Pottery Barn iron sculpture horse thing, I am using for my silver bracelets.
Yellow Patagonia biking top, so people can see me when I ride (as opposed to all the black I have).

It was me wanting to see your Paris decor! :biggrin: Love it, fabulous job.
 
Ok so I bought these bags for $5 each. It was as though they were waiting on me. The pictures do not do them justice. Once again, the New York designer is Martin van Schaak.

Sorry about all of the pics, I was just so excited. It's getting harder and harder to find vintage bags.
Oh and sorry they are so large.

Raven these are stunning!
