Vintage Recipe Tin

Dzień dobry! (That's good afternoon in Polish!) Today I worked another exciting shift at the Village, and I came home with this treasure! I originally planned on spending no money at all, but I found this and a cute little mug for my mother (since she has one that matches already). I've been looking for a cute little vintage tin for my recipes, mostly the ones I collect from the internet (so I don't have to print them off and keep them somewhere, and also so I don't need to be on my computer to look up/use the recipes) and I found one! Yay! And for only $1.69! I am quite pleased indeed.

And now to make some treats for my Uni's Vday party on Tuesday (I'm excited to try some new recipes out)!

Weekend Adventure

Xin chào! (That's hello in Vietnamese!) My mother and I took a trip to Northeast MPLS this past Sunday, and while it was rather chilly out I enjoyed our adventure! We visited Fried Bologna Vintage and I discovered that the owner visits the thrift store where I work a lot! Small world, eh?

Well, I didn't get any pictures of my outfit, buuuut I did snag some pretty awesome photos of the scenery. Enjoy!

Good day everyone. (: It's sunny and warm here in Minneapolis, and I'm excited to share with you my first post of the year! Today I'm all dolled up because my mother and I are going to the theatre (Yellow Tree Theatre in Osseo, to be exact).

Hello everyone! (: I know it's just a crappy webcam picture, but here's me today. (: I wanted to share one of my latest thrifty finds: a vintage coach! I got it for $12.99 at The Village, and I think it's great! I've been wanting one for a while, but I decided to splurge on this one because of the pretty red color.

In fact, my whole outfit today is thrifted!

Happy Tuesday!

A New Beginning

I thought I would start this fashion blog with a little introductory post about myself. My name's Melissa, usually called Mel. I'm 19 years young (as the cliché goes) and I reside in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I attend the University of Minnesota, and am double majoring in French and Anthropology and minoring in Classical & Near Eastern Archaeology. It's a mouthful, I know. Imagine having to say all that every time someone asks what you study.
So why fashion? it's simple, really: I love it. I adore fashion. I love reading fashion blogs, skimming the interwebs for inspiration, and I enjoy cutting out pictures from magazines and pinning them to my cork board when I find something I like. I wanted to create a place where I could share my love with others, whether it be my own outfits or someone else's I love.

So sit back, relax, and let the fashion begin.
