white military

sorry no bike chick tip today :( i didn't have enough time to write a post but i will have a bike post later on this week but for now here are some things i found while on my vacation in new england!


while in woodstock, vermont we stopped in this really cute vintage store which is the oldest vintage in america! i wish i could remember the name of the place because they had really amazing clothes and hats and they played the best music to shop to. while there i found this really great cream dress for $5!!! it is a bit too big on top but that is nothing a little sewing can't fix :D also found this really awesome white collared button up with an eagle embroidered on it! it fits like a glove and i can't wait to wear it on the weekend...i wish i could wear to work but it might not be appropriate BUT i haven't had time to play with it so it might make its way into a work outfit :)


after breakfast one day we stopped at the salvation arm....this place was also truly amazing...i think any small town will always have the best treasure...i am kicking myself because their was a ralph lauren blazer there that had a metal embroidered eagle on the front pocket..it was the business but too big...now i want to fly back and buy it and get it tailored..i hate when that happens! oh well too late i guess :( but i did find some untouched doc martens that i have been wanting for a really long time! i can't wait to wear these with a cute floral print dress :)  i was so happy that they were my size...i have a really hard time finding cute shoes my size while thrifting...sometimes i wish i had a size 6 foot...i would have the most awesome closet full of shoes!


i'll post more pictures of my trip....waiting for one more roll to get developed!

  1. Argh I have the same problem, shoe wise! I just need teeny tiny feet and then I can have whatever shoes I fancy. It's so annoying when the shoe they have on display is tiny and you're like ooh they're cute! Go and get your size...what the hell? I didn't ask for two boats!
    Aaaanyways, great finds! I also gave you an award if you wanna pop by and pick it up! ^_^

  2. You take the award picture, post 7 facts about you (That's the terms of this award. Some awards, you ask the next bloggers question for example) and then pass the award on to other blogs that you like and think are "versatile".
    Then you can put the picture wherever you fancy! Mine go in my sidebar.
    I mean, they're not real awards, per se...but they're just a nice way of showing you like someone's blog. =]
