Sunshine to Chase the Clouds Away

IMG_7325 IMG_7290IMG_7317IMG_7346IMG_7286

Hey guys… so I finally get to share pics of this jacket that I picked up at Value Village recently by Ralph Lauren ..I am in LOVE… it was a little pricey for second-hand at $15 but I loved it a lot and didn't even bother to question their pricing (yes I have no shame…if I think pricing is ridiculous…I will say something :p)… I also picked up one of their calendars for $3 just for the coupons (which is already worth it for me…some great discounts for someone that shops there often)…also wearing the bracelet again as you can see… really versatile and spices up any look…even jeans and a tee in my opinion…

Just got home from a long day (between work and hospital visits) …..and to clarify….no, I'm not married yet! J and I are still engaged and will be for some time … I will call him my hubby or hubs every now and then :P … trust me…when I do tie the knot you guys will know (hopefully this blog will still be in existence :p) …

I will also be working on another YouTube video (thanks to all your suggestions and comments) … hopefully get that up this week! I think I will be doing a makeup/hair video since those are pretty much the only requests that I had (and I am a product junkie :p…. so I think I have quite a bit to share in that regard)

oh and last pic…that was me playing with this Irish dude’s Victorian bulldog…. most beautiful coat ever! He looked like a little tiger (you cant even really tell from the pictures) … I LOVE dogs….I am definitely a dog person (hence, my little maxi…aka…Mack)

well I am off to do some more online shopping for J’s Valentines Day gift… and drink a hot tea… I think I need it … maybe a lush bubble bath too …

Hope you all had a wonderful start to your week … and and if you guys have Valentines Day plans let me know…I would love to hear what you guys will be up to!!

Jacket:Thrifted Ralph Lauren, Shirt: Wal Mart, Pants: Marciano, Boots: Thrifted, Bag: Vintage Chanel, Bracelet: Sears, Cardigan: Sirens

Congrats on the jacket being fabulous and classic and only $15!!!

Plus, I love the 'motion'shot. You look like you're literally flying - is that a camera angle thing or are you just a super high jumper?

Awesome blazer! I saw pretty much the exact same blazer going for $50 at the Belleville Value Village. Totally not worth it!

A movie about makeup would be awesome! I barely know anything about how to makeup different than the thing I do the same every day so that would be awesome!

lauren lanza osias said...

Ashleigh said...

Shop T.O- I am a pretty high jumper :p...

Lola- Hope so too! hehe

Gigi- Yea they are awesome...a tad pricey but I like that the ingredients are almost 100% natural ....and I will be getting him a necklace...been looking at Tiffany's and Birks ...I just need to shop around bc I dont want to break the bank!!

Isabel- arent they crazy sometimes??!! seriously, the stuff id donated or bought from organizations for peanuts! I just dont get their pricing sometimes,...

Mich- I will def be doing that soon...

Lauren- also an awesome idea... although honestly, its mostly just going often...and luck with me I think...

Charmaine- YES! Miss you girlie..

Savannah - eek I have never had one tailored all the way around...I know it can be done it just might be really pricey- i guess it depends on how much you really love it...I would go to a tailor, bring the jacket and ask them ;)

Caroline- not 100% yet but we will probably keep it low key with dinner and a movie...also making our way to the States this weekend which is kind of like an early Vday getaway--at least thats what we tell ourselves :p

Tiffany- Awesome!! I will be in Europe the week after Vday ...its exciting...hope you have an awesome time!
