Finally getting my shit together I hope. Unfortunately everything else has kinda suffered. Ebay listings have gone by the wayside and my house needs a serious cleaning!!! I'm also sick to death of this crappy blog. My true love is scouring the ends of the Earth for bargains on fabulous clothes and this blog doesn't seem to reflect this at all! LET'S BE HONEST...... I love reading about certain bloggers fabulous trips to far away places where they rub elbows with the rich, wear the seasons latest couture and all while living out of hotels and eating scrumptious food (and never gaining weight). I love it, I do but that's not me and it probably never will be. My hubby and I are hovering about middle class with a modest home in a small town (pop. is about 10k) The bars close at midnight and zebra stripes and rhinestones are what the really fashionable girls wear.
I have to drive 45mins to get my eyebrows threaded (will never wax again!) and also to see my hairstylist.
After 5 yrs of being here I've learned to love some aspects of my new life but sometimes it really gets me down. Having a lunch date used to consist of throwing on sky high platforms to meet the girls for a glass of wine at a new trendy place downtown. Now its more liking grabbing your old flip flops for the lunch special at Chilis. I'm lucky enough to have some vintage Chanel hanging in my closet but I don't see a Birkin anywhere in my future. I want some glamour, some glitz. I want to get dressed up for cocktails with the girls even if it is only to go to the hole in the wall bar down the street......
I want this blog to reflect that. Some of us can't make it to the latest gallery opening but still want some sparkle in their lives. Basically the blog is going to be about finding high fashion on a budget, furnishing a home with thrift store finds, figuring out this whole wife thing in a small town and other things that I can't think of at this moment. You can still check me out on Facebook to stay updated on the newest items in my ebay store and also see random pictures of my life on instagram....I'm under nsvintage cause my name was too damn long.
I'll be back soon and hopefully the blog won't be as sucky next go around.
