lovely little find + giveaway

I just love finding new ETSY artists. Not only for myself but for all you lovelies too! When I reached out to Crysten the lovely lady behind the little Phul Effect shop she was more than willing to work together. She is even offering up one of her fabulous pieces to one of you lucky lovelies! 

Akron-area Bloggers Attend Taste of Vintage Event

A few weeks ago, a few of us Akron-area Bloggers were invited to attend the 6th annual Goodwill Industries of Akron Taste of Vintage Event. The event was held at Quaker Station in Akron and according to the Goodwill's Website, broke records for the number of participating restaurants, attendees and auction packages. 

Consignment Review: Gerri's Closet in Green

 picture here

 I am a big fan of consignment shopping. Thrifting is my favorite, but sometimes you need something special for an event, party, etc. and want to get something a little "higher end" without breaking the bank. Plato's Closet is great and sometimes I find some really great items there. Typically, however, they cater more toward younger shoppers and sometimes you need something more "adult", say for a work event or something of that sort. 

As much as I'd love to venture into Nordstrom or Sak's when I'm looking for something for a particular event, that doesn't always fit the budget. Gerri's Closet in Green is a nice consignment shop with friendly employees a large selection, and free coffee :) 

I have found all sorts of great brands there from Ann Taylor Loft to bebe to Anthropologie. They even have their high-end brands set aside to make browsing that section easier. My stepmom got the most beautiful vintage berkin bag there and they usually have a good selection of high end purses and bags. She has some nice home-wares too.

I'll be going with my stepmom (she's a friend of Gerri's) tonight for their preview of Holiday Merchandise. If you're ever in the area, stop in and check it out.

Ohio Bloggers do Halloween!

I know it's November 3rd now, but I wanted to do one last Halloween inspired post because some of these costumes should definitely not go unrecognized! And maybe you'll get some good inspiration for next year.

Lauren from Someone Like You makes the cutest Smurfette ever! She looks amazing.
