4 Year Anniversary

This was us 4 years ago...

And today...we're still together :)

Maybe one day this distance will come to an end.

Until then, I love you from afar.

Happy 4 year anniversary, Gabko <3

Canada - A Breathe of Fresh Air

Mt. Washington, British Columbia.

Lemme just say...

Before I get back to the traveling pictures....

and while it's still New York Fashion Week...

I had to share this awesome outfit I put together at the last minute, seriosuly.

And the price I paid for everything...it's just too good not to share!

This outifit wasn't planned at all - but I love how it turned out!

Doesn't that always seem to happen?! ;)

Every item - under $5 : D 

Now that's how I shop.

Black and White Blazer - Goodwill, $3

Purple Dress Shirt - Wal-Mart, $3

Black Skirt - Kohls, $5

Black Tights - CVS Drug Store, $3

Black Boots - Gift from my mum

Purple Heels - Goodwill - $4

Black and White Belt - My grandmother's (real vintage right there)

White Bangle - Claire's, .50 cents

Question Mark

High fashion or just plain strange?

I'm still trying to decide.

(And by the way, heels were $4 at a thrift store. Score.)

Love from Afar

Where ever you may be,

even across the sea,

i love you with all my heart.

athough we're still apart.

Sending my love from afar,

across the ocean to where you are.
i miss you dearly, my love.

so consider this, your valentine's day hug.

Vienna, Austria

Let's Travel the World again...

The stare off...

Yoga in the park...

I like to mimic statues...

Mmmmm

Mmmm, love a man with good style.

In Honour...

Even though I could care less about football...in honor of the Super Bowl last night...

My friend and I had a little get-together to watch the game's commercials ;) Yes, for real.

When the game came on we switched to "The Biggest Loser" :).

ANYWAY, we both didn't have any Colt's or Saint's attire (even though we both go to school in Indiana).

So, we represented where we are from  - not where we currently live.

Swaziland and Canada :)

Soccer and hockey, yet we were watching American football.

We found it comical,

and I thought I'd share =)

City of Lights

Having been inspired this past week by great [thrifting] finds, I once again have the urge to travel.

NYC, the city of lights...although they weren't found at thrift stores, I have bought of my most prized possessions in this busy city.

One of the best finds I've ever found? - that black and red Roxy coat.

Oh, yes. New Year's Day 2009 at Pac Sun for $40.

Doesn't get much better than that.

It may be over a year old, but I still wear it almost everyday (when it matches ;) lol).

Somethings never go out of style.

Especially when found at an extraordinary price.

Jewls

I'm stuck and mesmerized by the incredible jewlery that can be found at thrift stores.

All the above jewlery was found at a Goodwill or other independant thrift store for the low price of $1-2.

Incredible. Just incredible.

Can't Get Enough

Can't get enough fabulous thrifting finds!

Wedding Dress - Goodwill, $8

Scarf - Street Market in Florence, Italy, $6

Black Jacket - Indepenent Thrift Store, $3

Brown Bag - A gift from my Grandmother, from her teen years.

Sticking with my thrifting theme from the previous post, this outfit is another thrift store snag.

Leapord print T: Wal-Mart, $1

Mini Black Sweater: Good Will, $3

Gold Butterfly Necklace: Goodwill, $1

The prices make this outfit even more fun to wear.

The Splurge

BEST thrift store snag ever - 3 pairs of fabulous heels for $3.99 EACH.

Thifting doesn't get much better than that.

(Mind you, I wear size 11 - and that is a hard size to find!)

Perhaps

One day I'll get married....until then, I'll have fun in as many bridal dresses as possible :)

The Very Best Accessory

Scarves go with any outfit, add color and can be worn multiple ways, creating variety.

(With my litte sister Amy and boyfriend Gabriel)

Let's Travel to the World of Fashion...

My travel musts, especially when traveling overseas, include comfy jeans, a big scarf, a reusable water bottle, a big bag and of course a good book (for when two of your flights are delayed four hours...you miss your third flight....and end up taking a seven hour train ride).

The scarf serves as a fashion piece as well as a blanket during the long flights and the big bag serves as a wonderful "extra" carry-on bag ;)

My little sister looked amazing when she arrived in Vienna, Austria to celebrate New Year's Eve this past December.

(Notice her comfy jeans, big scarf and big bag.....)

Leeds, England

No matter how hard he tried, that big dog could not beat that little dog lol
