Fly Vintage Summer Jewelry Purchases

Oh my! What a fantastic summer it has been. I have kept myself busy with good friends, good food and LOTS of vintage shopping. Even though I don't always post about it, I am ALWAYS on the hunt for amazing vintage. Here are some recent accessory additions to my collection.

A 60's turquoise medallion necklace that I bought at a local flea market as a present for my sister..

 but then I kept it. :)

A 70's coral and gold tassel bracelet that I bought off of a coworker 

A vintage shell bracelet from a vintage vendor at a Brooklyn street fair. 

An enamel 50's horse pin from a local vintage shop - I imagine it was on a young boy's cowboy outfit. 

A rhinestone cuff that was a gift from my friend Whitney of Fauxshionable bought on Etsy.com 

A gaggle of earrings all purchased in one trip to the thrift store. I can't decide which pair is my favorite. 

Luckily my jewelry box is big enough for all of this (plus way too much more). I can't say the same about the room that stores the jewelry box though.

Enjoy the rest of your summer! 

Road Trip, Part Three!

We spent the last leg of our trip in beautiful Newport, RI. We took the detour as a recommendation of a co-worker and had absolutely no expectations. I was stunned when we arrived. From the giant historic mansions to the sandy cliffs and beaches, Newport is top notch. 

Vintage sunglasses and jumper

Hope you had a great Holiday!! 

Road Trip, Part Two!

After 2 days in Hyannis we decided to move up the Cape to Provincetown. The day was overcast and foggy but still so beautiful. 

Provincetown is one of the oldest cities in America and  truly a unique destination. 

Where's Waldo? 

love that rusty bike! 

That's a lot of flags. 

ohhh lobster... btw. I ate New England Clam Chowder everyday of this trip. 

A teeny tiny vintage store!!

Road Trip!

Here are some pics from a trip to Cape Cod, MA/ Newport, RI that I took with my boyfriend.

 Check out the vintage duds worn throughout the trip. 

Let's start off with the first leg of the trip in Cape Cod

A view of the city as we drove off on our roadtrip!

Downtown Hyannis

I find myself in a summer sloth state and I am not finding blogging joyful as of late. I have been keeping busy with friend visits (more pics to come) , shortened summer work hours and countless movies on Netflix instant play (WORKING GIRL ON REPEAT).  

So... this is all I have to offer. A few pics of a recent visit to Red Hook, Brooklyn and a link to some antique eye candy. Enjoy. 

Love the abandoned vintage buses outside the Fairway. 

For the aquatic New Yorker who prefers unconventional transportation methods. 

We are such hipsters!!! 

Red Hook is my favorite area in Brooklyn and home to the coolest antique jewlery store, Erie Basin. Be sure to check out the stores tumblr page here.

Avoided a beat down by my mini me and her sidekick with the Irish temper. 

bought nerdy but I don't care cuz they are like pillows on my feet sandals. 

went to a cherry blossom festival. Took pics of myself under said trees. 

got fabric for a vintage pattern not realizing what I bought looks exactly like my shower curtain. Weird.
