It's a Thrifted Black Patent Leather Colin Stuart Stiletto kind of day-otherwise known as Monday..

While I was enjoying my Saturday morning thrifting adventure, I was browsing through the shoes half-heartedly and came across these stunners..

Colin Stuart wasn't ringing a bell, so I quickly googled the name on my phone and then realized he was the gentleman who designs for Victoria's Secret..

The shoes were brand new, never been worn, there wasn't a scuff nor an aggravated tread on these babies..

I gently placed them in my cart .. staring at them for a minute- like I do most of my purchases. See.. I'm a little, ok VERY indecisive, and spending money on myself is for some reason difficult for me.. After a moment, I was off to seek more treasure..I paid $12.50 for them, because I wasn't willing to wait until half price Monday, these beauties may be gone by then.It hurt me just a little to pay more than $10 but after looking at the prices online, I'm satisfied I did ok..Your thoughts?

It's a What the *CLUTCH* type of day! Was this thrifted Nicole Miller worth it?

I was thrifting this morning and wandered over by the clutches. I sorted through them carefully, looking for something that had substance..Then there it was.. staring at me in all of it's hot pink and silver studded glory..THE CLUTCH.. Made by Nicole Miller and so soft to the touch, I could tell it had never been used..

I opened the magnetic closure to find *bliss* A large open lined zippered pocket/a pocket in front of that, and another in front of that one..On the outside of those pockets is a six pocket credit card holder..

The bottom of the clutch embodies another large pocket, two smaller pockets and a mirror attached to a small silver chain, on the right is a small wallet with a snap..and there's of course a slide out clutch handle..

So my question is this.. Was this thrift worth it ? I paid $6.99 for it. I wasn't 100% on the retail of it, because I'm not up on my purse game as much as I should be.. So.. I need your help? Would you have purchased this clutch for the same price? Personally I love it and think it has great character and will be an awesome addition to my wardrobe..but now I'm asking YOU.. do tell..

It's a HOT pink & Sequin kind of day!

Today is my Friday..Yesss! So excited for that. Mr. Parks was slacking just a little while he executed our usual 5 min. photoshoot, as we do every morning before speeding off to work. Tomorrow is a very busy day for us, and I've been winning things lately [which I absolutely love] Tuesday I won tickets toThe Cleveland Botanical Garden's Ripe Fest [which is a 3 day culinary event including live bands and amazing food] The scenery there is EXQUISITE, so look for me to be taking many a photo-op there! I felt pretty damn vibrant today, so I am sporting: *HOT* pink quarter length sleeved sweater w/sequin detail on front and back-THRIFTED!/ Black slim dress pants-Mossimo/ Black Patent Leather Square Heeled Shoes-Anne Klein/ Black ribbon silver/black bobble Necklace/ Black 3 strand bracelet w/ *moving* silver/ rhinestone slides/ Vintage Petite Black Flap Purse-Coach
