rolando santana nyfw spring 2013

fashion week was 5 insane days for me...
it meant a lot of away time from my hubby!
so i was thrilled when i got to bring him as my plus one to the rolando santana spring/summer 2013 show! we had great seats right underneath the lights and so we could see all the details
on every piece perfectly. this was my husband's first show so he especially loved being up close to all the gorgeous models. it was fun being able to quickly chat about what we loved about each piece as it went by.

thank you so much for inviting us to your show...we seriously loved every minute of it!

i loved your muted palette mixed with pops of emerald, mint and that stunning orange.

5 new york fashion week outfits: thrifty nifty!

one thing you may or may not know about me is that i am one heck of a bargain shopper!

i love shopping at consignment and thrift shops for one of a kind pieces.

i love finding the best prices and a piece that is completely unique.

i hate malls and hate thinking of buying something that ten people can take home right after me.

this past fashion week i got a lot of compliments on my outfits i wore each day...and little did everyone know that almost every piece came from a thrift shop or i found it for super duper cheap.

a lot of my outfits were customized as well...

take a look below to see what i mean.

day 1:

(me with my friend amber blogger at barefootblonde.com before the peter som show...

i got her set up as a host for hey!hey,gorgeous. and together we enjoyed 5 crazy amazing days

backstage with the luxury hair website documenting all the fabulousness at nyfw.)

i found my beaded vintage top for only $11 at buffalo exchange in nyc a few years ago.

it was once a mini dress and i had it altered into a top.

i thought it looked better that way.

my metallic pants were found on sale at urban outfitters for only $10!

so my top and pants together were under $25...

such a steal!

day 2:

i got a lot of love from my metallic vintage 80's outfit on day 2.

i also found this piece at buffalo exchange in las vegas four years ago.

it was once a jumper with pants connected at the bottom but i cut them off and paired the top

with tight black leggings and combat boots from target. black feathered clutch also only $7!

my shades were found at the brooklyn flea market for $8! another favorite find.

i played with my hood all day long...

here i am messing around before the mara hoffman show.

day 3:

both my pants and top were found at buffalo exchange in nyc (safe it say it's my favorite store!)

i found these purple pants brand new for only $7...can you believe that? 

and the top is one of my all time favs! paid only $12 for it and i'm obsessed with the sequined sleeves. my shades were on sale at gap for $14

pink and purple combo!

me following the skaist and taylor show.

high waisted and baggy pants = super comfortable

day 4:

this was the only day my outfit didn't come from a thrift store but my pants and

top together only cost me $30!

my top was from h&m for $20 and my pants were on sale at urban outfitters for $9

they went perfectly with my leopard guess heels!

color, pattern and leopard! my type of mix

day 5:

my top was found...you guessed it at buffalo exchange! i found this vintage blouse for only $7 in portland, oregon. i wore it with my favorite copper metallic pants i found at urban outfitters for only $15!!! this was one of my favorite purchases because i had been eyeing these pants for awhile.

i had to be comfy so i wore my black combat boots found at target for $20

vintage and sparkle...you can never go wrong!

i love to shop but i love finding great deals and one of a kind pieces to add in my closet!

i have to admit i am one heck of a shopper...

i'm always on the look out for an amazing deal. if you ever want to go thrifting with me let me know!
