Etsy Find: Hardy Boys Book Clutch

Book Clutch, Pretty Theory etsy
How cool is this book clutch? I told you guys about the Pretty Theory etsy shop last week, and I just had to show you my new clutch I bought from them! It is really well-made and fun for only ten bucks. :) I might have to spring for a larger, purse-size one in the future, because I just think they're that cool.

I hope you have a great weekend! I'm working this morning, and then I'm definitely hitting up the thrift stores. :)

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Pastels and Purple

Vintage Barbie Clothes; Keds Mini Backpack; Goodwill Outlet
It is so, so green outside our balcony right now! I love when the trees are full of leaves, because it seems like we live right next to a forest.

Blythe's 80s-tastic shorts and crop-top are fun spring pieces, and I love that I thrifted a tiny backpack as well. :) I hope you have a great Friday! I work tomorrow morning, but then I have Monday off and vacation the next week! I'm super excited!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Find: Not a Fjallraven

Backpack, Goodwill Outlet ($2)
I've been really, really wanting a Fjallraven backpack for our upcoming San Francisco trip, and for daily use after. While there's little-to-no chance that I'll ever thrift one, I'm crossing my fingers that maybe I'll get one for my birthday. :) If not, then I thrifted this backup backpack. I really love the bright color, but it doesn't have the pretty design that my dream backpack has. Then again, what more can you ask of a two-dollar find?

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: A Pretty Laptop Bag

Laptop Bag, Good Samaritan ($3)
I hadn't been to Good Samaritan thrift store in a couple weeks, so I was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few awesome things there Saturday! My most-used find so far (other than my Florsheim loafers that are getting worn every day to work) is this laptop case. On the outside, it just looks like a particularly huge purse, but it has a padded section inside for a laptop. Which is proving to be perfect for my new camera! I can't wait to try it out in the sunshine (this photo was taken with my old camera), so you'll be sure to see plenty of photos soon. :) I hope your week is going well!

Always,
Amanda

Meet Moxie the Kitty!

Moxie the Kitty!
Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to the hubby and I's new kitty, Moxie! She's very sweet and a little shy so far, but we already love her so much. :)

If you followed Another's Treasure, you probably read many times about my fear of cats. While I'm still getting over that fear, Moxie is an absolute sweetheart! She hasn't once hissed or scratched or bit or anything scary-cat-like. We can't wait for her to get more comfortable with our apartment and us. :) I hope you have a great day- I'll be back tomorrow with some thrifted finds!

Always,
Amanda

Brown Leather Perfection

Florsheim Wingtip Loafers, Good Samaritan ($2)
I thrifted the most perfect, comfortable loafers on Saturday! They are Florsheim brand, and they're just perfection! In other news, the hubby and I got a kitty! We named her Moxie, and she's brown and black and adorable. :) I'm sure pictures will come soon!

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Stripes and Dots

Striped Top, Target Clearance; Dotted Top, Sandals, Bag: Thrifted; Jeans, Burlington; Ray Bans, TJMaxx, Necklace, F21
One thing I've noticed recently is that my closet is chock-full of blue. I almost always wear blue jeans, I have mostly blue shirts and sweaters, and I have blue sandals and blue sunglasses! Talk about an overload of one color! But the thing is, wearing blue makes me happy. It's such a calming, nice color, and I always feel good in it. So here's my most recent blue-tastic outfit, from head to toe. :)

On another note, I was able to go to a couple thrifts this morning! I actually found some pretty neat stuff to share with you all over the coming week. :) And I am almost completely over being sick, thank goodness. I really was feeling bad this past week, and I'm just so glad to be feeling better!

Always,
Amanda
