Style Junkies: Day out in Brooklyn










Feeling lucky this past Monday, Julissa and I head to Salvation Army to hunt from some great treasures and of course we find plenty.

Style Junkies: Day out in Brooklyn







Julissa and I always have a blast during our weekly meetings. It doesn't matter the deal, shopping, dining, partying or just talking over a snack; the level of excitement is always the same. This past Monday we decide to walk downtown Brooklyn to visit a friend's boutique (Paper Doll), on the way there we are stopped by a lovely lady. I don't know if it was Juilissa's green booties or my red plaid pencil skirt, she must have known we are vintage lovers. She tells us she just finish having a stoop sale and the remaining of the items left are free. What? Free? Being the fashion junkies we are, we thank the lady and gladly walk across the street to the brownstone hoping to find some goodies. Of course we do!

The Dollar Man






34th Herald Square is always loaded with people, there is usually never slow moments but some how I find one. As I'm hurrying pass to get to the # 2 train station, I see a sign that says all jewelry $1, I say to myself, hmm... why not? As I fiddle through bright color earrings and bracelets, I come across two beautiful shell like necklaces. One is black with hints of grey, purple and green and the other purple with a hint of pink and brown. Both only $1 and perfect to match with a basic top and cardigan. Lucky me!

The Treasure Hunt: San Juan, Puerto Rico








I could hardly sit still in my seat while flying into Puerto Rico. My Ipod is plugged in my ears for calming yet I could hardly focus on anything besides my mission to find amazing treasures to bring back home.

The weather in San Juan is extremely hot and i'm loving it because back home the weather is set at spring. The scene in San Juan makes me feel like I'm on the set of an old Spanish movie. Shop after shop I search for something that is good for me to use while I'm on the go. I came across a brown leather purse that is just right to keep a small wallet, phone, note pad, pen and of course my camera. I also have a thing for bracelets so I was hoping to find different ones in each of the places I visit. My luck, I find a beautiful leather band that has the Puerto Rico flag and a pretty pink flower engraved on it.
