Day 7 - Slow Your Roll

After a weekend of hitting every bar in town, getting lost, losing a bikini, spraining an ankle, fighting with a taxi driver and a guy with a cup of ice and very bad aim, and sleeping off our hangovers on the beach, Jen and I woke up this morning and realized we had not gotten any work done. We gathered the troupes (well actually only Henrietta was willing to get up),our over-sized sunglasses and our coffees and made our way through the city. Even though we were hurting from the night before it was totally worth it. We found lots of great things, including these leather lovelies above.

Day 4 - Where clothes go to die

So before picking up the ladies at the airport my mom convinces me to go to a place called liquidation world. As soon as I see the huge warehouse in the middle of nowhere I get a dubious feeling about the whole thing. I immediately go to my comfort zone - the clothing department and find the strangest thing... racks and racks filled with clothes from urban outfitters, steve and barry, forever 21 etc. . . all at 90% off. This is where clothes go to die. I scoop up a pair of urban outfitters skinny jeans, a slouchy tee and a diet pepsi for $22. Oh happy days. I then spend four hours at the airport trying to find everyone. Not so happy days. (pic - my loot)

Day 1 - Gonna Get Myself Into It

Day 1 - Day 1 is always shopping - ALWAYS! I have arrived a couple days before the girls, so I'm on my own for now. Well not exactly on my own- I'm with my mom. As we walk to the car to start our extravaganza she leans over and says in a conspiratory voice "I found some new spots for you" and my feet start to tingle. I love new spots. So for the next three days my mom drives me around and it becomes incredibly clear that she knows her "spots". I'm in vintage heaven. It also becomes incredibly clear that I will need another suitcase to lug this stuff back.(That's me above taking a coffee break).

Road Tripping - 3 days to go

It's been awhile since I've gone on a grand vintage extravaganza and my upcoming trip to Vancouver is making me really excited. Not only am I going home to hang out with friends and family, but Jen and our friends Henrietta and Debbie are joining me. I see drinks, laughs and awesome fashion finds in my future. The count down to take off begins . . .
