Thrifting With Jen

My sister-from-another-mother Jennifer and I decided to plan a day of thrifting whilst our hubbies went off to hunt amd catch our dinner (they went crabbing and let's say we had enough to feed the whole neighborhood).  So, while the men were away, the wives did what else....SHOP!  We knew we didn't want to spend too much, but also wanted to find faulous pieces to add to our wardrobe.  We decided to drive out to New Jersey to a place called Village Thrift.  I had never been.  Now, I'm from New York and pretty much know how to maneuver department stores and all types of shops, but this is the first time a store had me OVERWHELMED.  IT WAS HUGE! There was so much stuff I didn't know where to begin.  I literally stood around for ten minutes with a blank stare, meanwhile Jen piled things in her cart.  Finally, I snapped out of it and did what I do best....lol

Jennifer aka Jenisha Jenkins...lol

I purchased this fabulous burgundy leather vest that Jen found for me

Jen found these Vince Camuto purple shoes for like eight bucks!  They were in excellent condition.  By the way, we wear the same size shoe.  I really wanted to steal these

I love a great coat.  This one was $10 and yes, I bought it...lol

We found two similar jackets in different colors.  But for some reason the pink one was $20 and the black was only $8 or so?  I didn't get it....

I LOVED this coat, but something was a little off with the fit

I loved this shawl on her

Died and gone to Fashion Heaven after discovering these yellow BCBG shoes for $10

These are just a few pics I took of the store.  It still doesn't show the magnitude.  Picture a warehouse full of clothes.  Can't wait till next time!

Whether you purchase new or love to thrift, STAY FAB FREAKING FIERCE!

Creating Deep Waves on Natural Hair

(This was posted in early August)

URGH!!!  Just as I am about to go into hiding with my hair (getting braids for my birthday and all the events I have coming up in September), I happen upon CurlyChronicles' 30's Inspired Side Swept Waves. I've also posted her video on how to achieve those waves. Hopefully it wont get too cold too quickly in the northeast, so I can attempt this style and maybe I'll gain a little more length so the style will hang nicely.

What I Wore

It's funny how you never know what you're missing till you get it.  I am so HAPPY that I get to wear denim to work.  So very, very, happy.  I've been waiting for it to get a little cooler to wear all the fabulous high-waist jeans I purchased over the Winter/Spring.

Happy Birthday and Anniversary to ME

Hello Beautiful People!  I know I've been missing in action for a hot minute.   The months of August and September are always superbly busy for me and the hubster. There are always events that we need to attend (among the many this year, were two weddings back-to-back). September hosts my birthday (the 6th) and then a week later (the 13th) my wedding anniversary. Oh, my SIL’s birthday is August 28th and my MIL’s birthday is September 10th.   My poor, poor (in the literal sense) husband! Anywho, I thank God for 35 years on this earth and 8 wonderful years of marriage. This is the year my Impossible becomes Possible!

Shout outs to all my VIRGOS!!!

Here are a few pics of What I Wore on my anniversary.  We had a full day so an outfit change was in order...lol
