Here is an awesome tuxedo-ish jacket I thrifted last week. It has these sweet gold buckles and exaggerated shoulders. Black and gold is one of my favorite color combinations! With enough gold, you can wear all the black you want and never look goth!
Also, check out my new glasses!
Remember last week when I mentioned my favorite thrift store, Jueves? Well, it’s not really called that, but Thursday is the best day to go, and Jueves is Spanish for Thursday…brushing up on my language skillz, yo.
Anyway, we went again a few days ago, and I scored this gorgeous purse for a dollar:
It’s made of dark brown leather which has a beautiful sheen, even though it is visibly worn, a heavy gold chain handle, and a gold lion head on the front!
It took me forever (ok, like 10 minutes) to figure out what the lining said so I could correctly identify the label. It’s by Ruth Saltz, and I can’t find much about her online, but it appears that she was a handbag designer in the 70’s.
I love the gold lion head (which seems to be her signature), and the gold chain handle. The reason it stood out to me in the first place was the quality of the metal chain; it hasn’t tarnished at all!
My new favorite bag!
