Bought & Sold.

With a decade of thrifting under my belt I've learned the value of
others trash. All of these pieces were found in goodwills and second-hand
stores throughout Ohio. After hours of rummaging.. and wondering through
isles.. these are some of the beauties i've found..fixed..polished.. and resold.

Jean crop jacket. Purchased-$4 Sold-$25

The art (and profit) behind thrifting. 

A single idea or a sudden flash of thought may be worth a million dollars.

Do what you love... and you'll love what you do.

Selling the dress.

It's hard to part with anything beautiful! But I am cleaning out my closets and everything must go. By the end of this week my vintage finds will have found their way onto the racks of a new home. C'est la vie.

This one I like the most, everything about it is amazing. The beading is truly something to be appreciated. There is so much adventure behind this picture. We shot in an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere, on a sunny afternoon in Ohio. I'm not one for jumping fences so thank god the worst part was crawling through the window.......come to think of it... I'm not sure I ever did try the front door.

Its rainy and beautiful in LA today... I've been waiting for this kind of weather! I hope that it sticks around for a few days. Each raindrop brings a small dose of creativity and inspiration to my doorstep.

My dear friend left these geek-chic glasses on accident and I haven't let them out of my sight since ( no pun intended :). I fought the trend for quite sometime... but honestly... I LOVE THEM.
