Today’s Thrifter Inspiration comes straight from my genius boyfriend;  30X30 NYC THRIFT has taken quite a chunk out of my free time, and without anything thrifted this weekend to share, he asked “isn’t there anything available online?” [cue lightbulb] Shopgoodwill.com has thousands of items (only about 8,000 of them are clothing).  I’ve put together a [...]

Today’s Thrifter Inspiration comes from Shopalicious, and their wise prediction that classic tweed blazers are the perfect transition piece for spring.  However, the retail versions they suggest run from $200-$1,400.

Oprah Style on a Goodwill Budget

Yes, I DID!

I’ll admit it.  I loves me some Oprah.  I find her extremely inspiring, and sometimes I splurge and treat myself to a copy of O Magazine.  I read it cover-to-cover, like a kid with a comic book.  Sometimes I’ll even find myself announcing dinner with her voice “it’s rotisserie chicken and SALLLAAAADDD!” But I digress.
