Thrifty Discoveries + The Shins


We just got our wedding rings cleaned and they look all sparkly and new. I was smiling for hours after we picked them up. I feel so unbelievably lucky to have such beauty on my finger. 


July = monsoon season begins! So my naturally curly hair gets bigger & better than ever! I think the only other person in my family that had curly hair was my grandmother on my dad's side. I used to hate it when I was younger, but now I love it.




Jason picked these up the other day and we gave it a go. We love cards, games, and Angry Birds! This was fun, but if you play it beware: your pointer finger gets sore from all the flicking! 


I'm lovin' these anchor earrings from Old Navy! Speaking of thrifty behavior: outlets are the way to go.


With my love.


So, there is an order to things as far as Nordstrom goes. Most expensive = Nordstrom. Sale = Nordstrom's The Rack. Greatest deals of all = Last Chance! I had mentioned in the previous post how much I wanted a pair of Tory Burch flats. Well, to my surprise they had these beauties in my size! Prices at Last Chance are over 75% off the original price!


I found these underneath a bench at Last Chance! I swear, my heart ceased to beat for a moment, because once again, they were in my size :) I'm so happy because now I have them to take on our trip to NYC next month! Once again, over 75% off! Ah!

I got these heart-shaped sunnies at The Grove while we were in LA. 


I found this Ann Taylor skirt, it had never been worn with tags still attached! I love half price day at Goodwill. It was only $7 :)


Another half priced ticket! A $3 purse to bring along with me on our trip. I needed something with a zipper, and an extra flap.


I love The Shins! I've been listening to them since I was in high school. They came out with a new album this year, but this is the first time I had some time to listen to them. Above is "Simple Song". I can't wait to hear more.

♥ Hope everyone is having a nice week. Any thrifty finds lately? Any thoughts on the new album?

    1. I love a good deal :) My wedding ring has diamonds and sapphires in it. My favorite color is blue, so we both thought it was fitting.

    1. Gotta love The Shins! I saw them once in concert, and I would love to see them again one day. There are a bunch of Goodwills around so I like to switch it up. It's like finding buried treasure.

  5. Love the thrift finds, and the rings are beautiful! :)
    My hair is curly, too, but rain usually does the opposite for me than it seems to do for your hair.
    By the way, thanks for commenting on our blog :)
