English Rose Garden

How beautiful is my mom's rose garden? Right now is the most fruitful I have ever seen it. There must be 100 roses in there!
Today I'm wearing a very thrifty outfit:
The very Jimi Hendrix-esque velvet blazer is a hand-me-down from my mom,
I bought the white blouse at a Catholic Charities thrift store in Vegas,
The wonderful vintage pants were given to me by my awesome vintage-collecting aunt,
And I just picked up these chelsea boots for $10 and elephant purse for $2 at Savers in Vegas.
Ciao!

Vintage Bowler

 Happy Spring Everyone! 
Today I'm wearing head to toe thrift:
The vintage hat was a gift to me from my boyfriend, my mom bought the vintage necklace for me at a thrift store in Palm Springs, the black lace dress was $12 at a thrift store in Madison, Wisconsin, the saddle shoes were purchased at Savers in Reno, NV last year, and I picked up this vintage handbag at a garage sale this year for $1.50.

P.S. I submitted this outfit to the thrift outfit contest over at Thrift Store Runway. They host a contest each month with 5 winners who get either $100 each or $500 each if they receive 50+ entrants. So head on over to your nearest thrift store, consignment store, or garage sale and whip together some thrifty outfits to win some CA$$$H.
Happy thrifting!

Snow Gypsy

 ^mid-sentence mouthage
YoOoo everyone! 
I just got home from a nice getaway weekend in Utah. Although the fresh mountain air was lovely, my desert-rat self is happy to back in 80 degree Nevada weather.
As mentioned a few posts ago, i'm now working at Anthropologie, which is more like a source of an expense than an income for me as I've been making use of that employee discount quite a bit lately. This dress is one I bought with my discount at the Fashion Show Mall's Free People last friday. It is sooo lovely and butter-soft. Definitely a must-have dress for this spring/summer. 
The coat i'm wearing is a Roxy one that I bought at a thrift store in Reno last year. It is the perfect thickness and looks so good over everything. You can see me wearing it in the post Nature Walk. 
My mom bought me these fun Betsey Johnson over-the-knee socks a couple christmases ago and the boots are from Target.

Ti Amo

As promised, here's my festive little Valentine's ensemble from today. My brother was going to take my photos but he'd rather eat sushi with his friends (weird, right?) and before I knew it, the daylight was too dim for photo taking. So I opted for this "self portrait" for lack of better words. I posted it on my Instagram as well. If you aren't following me already, go check out my insta at @karinastanton.

I'm wearing: a floral silk pajama shirt from savers thrift store, a striped shirt on sale from urban outfitters, a skirt just bought with my employee discount from urban outfitters, and a vintage necklace and cashmere jacket given to me by my grandma.

I'm Back!

Hey guys, so I really need to start blogging again. With 5 classes and 2 jobs, my life has been a bit hectic to say the least but i'm going to try to start squeezing in some time to share some of my latest thrift finds as well as the new gems i've been picking up with my employee discount from Anthropologie, Free People and Urban Oufitters. Keep your eyes peeled for some new posts that will be popping up in the near future.
Next up:Valentines Day. Call me corny but I love to dress in subtle cremes, pinks, and reds for Valentines Day and so dammit, that's what i'm going to continue to do.
Oh! And for the time being, go check out this rad interview Thrift Store Runway so kindly decided to do with me: http://thriftstorerunway.com/features/interview-with-karina-stanton
