Estate Sale Chronicles: Awesome Finds $10 or less

I went to my first estate sale last month and had an amazing time! Of course, I brought my fashion “other” Eura, who I used to blog with on HautenessCoutureious.Blogspot.Com, with me on my adventure. We started off at Starbucks:

 

My ensemble consisted of a White H&M Tank, Black H&M rider pants, Nine West Vintage Edition wide calf rider boots: $159.00, ALDO scarf: $18.00, Louis Vuitton Deauville Bag Retails: $1,600, M.A.C. Ruby Woo lipstick $15.00 and a Lane Bryant houndstooth cape: $50.00

Then, we were off to the estate sale. The clothes were outside and the bags and shoes were inside. I couldn’t get a photo of the bag/shoe room, but it was PACKED. Here are a few photos of the outside arrangement. Don’t let the surroundings fool you, there were tons of nice things:

Afterwards, we took a random detour to a park on my way to take Eura home, and this is was came of it:

To sum up this post, here are all of the goodies that I got at the estate sale, all under $10.00:

Mini Cross body Bag (No tag, Unknown Designer $5.00):

Leather backpack with Leopard print lid and gold buckle detailing $5.00:

Spiegel shoulder bag made with real Rabbit Fur (sorry PETA, didn’t know it was real) $5.00:

Shoulder bag, that I ended up gifting to Beatrice of HeavenlyGlow.net $5.00:

Camel-Colored Leather and Fringe Blazer $10.00:

Leather and Shearling Vest $10.00:

That’s all for now my loves! I didn’t realize how awesome estate sales were until now. I’m definitely on the hunt for more in the area, and when I do, I’ll update them to my “upcoming events” tab. Until next time….

Bold Dark Lip Phenomenon: Vampire Life (Giveaway hint)

Lately, I have been completely obsessed with the bold lip phenomenon. It was sighted all across the board in Fall 2012 runways shows from designers like:

Gucci:

Christian Siriano

And, of course, in TRUE Tisci fashion; Givenchy, my love label:

After re-visiting my favorite runway shows, I have decided that my fall aesthetic will consist of “All Black Everything, with a BOLD DARK LIP”.
Taking that into consideration while shopping yesterday, I purchased “Cyber” from M.A.C. Cosmetics. It’s a dark purple satin lipcolor and I fell instantly in love.

 I was so excited, that I put away my Ruby Woo momentarily and decided to go with my new found love!

 The best part of Cyber is that it goes with every skin color! My cousin was with me and bought the exact same lipstick. She’s a couple of shades darker than me, and it looked amazing! Stay tuned to my blog posts, because I have officially decided to give away a “Ruby Woo” and a “Cyber” lip color from M.A.C. details will be out within a day or two.

That’s all for now…
