USED: House of Fashion, Wedges and Sea Snake Skin

It has been way too long, really. I'm so sorry guys, I got back home Monday and this week has been hectic, crazy, insanity. I won't get into details, but I will say I really, really hope I passed my retail fashion buying mid term that I studied my brains out for. Thankfully I'm back in my element and getting settled again.

While doing some needed retail therapy this week, I stumbled across my new favorite vintage store here in Vancouver, called Used: House of Fashion. This place is fan fucking tastic. I recently purchased the perfect 90's style burgundy velvet crush dress, and two winter scarves. One, a navy blue Balmain and the other a turquoise/green Dior, both cashmere/lambswool for get this... 8$ each. Talk about love right? There's also a few vintage Chanel bags they have currently which are all adorable, especially the vintage Chanel leather backpack that I want oh soo badly. I'm in this store just about daily now because first of all, they have new stuff in just about weekly and I can't help stopping in considering it's located right downtown on Granville street on my way home from school and best of all the staff are the coolest chicks ever!

So if you're in the area, I suggest checking it out a.s.a.p for fantastic vintage finds!


OK so now, onto some of my current needs, wants, obsessions and I know that these wedge booties from Acne came out last year, but I've been so desperate for a pair and recently they came back on my radar after realizing how effing perfect they would work with some outfits I've wanted to wear.

or a more strappy pair like these Dolce & Gabbana wedge booties. I've got a pair I love, however with cork wedge heel and no where near as beyond fabulous as these bad boys...

I just have a serious weakness in me for wedges, I've never gotten sick of them. Even when they're 'Out', they're always 'In' for me.

And the final item on my things-I-can't-afford list is this fucking amazing sea snake skin sculpted day bag with a full gold zipper. I found this on shopstyle and have officially become obsessed with sea snake skin. Along with being hot as hell, it's also versatile, black and perfect for stashing your life (as us girls like to do with our handbags right?)

Now that I'm back home and settled updates will me more frequent and thorough this week, sorry about the delayed/short post this week guys!
