UPDATE | (Plus new shoes!)

Hi lovely readers. I wanted to put up a quick post to let you all know I'm still alive! I have neglected my blog lately and I do apologize for the abrupt absence. Sometimes, that thing called LIFE gets in the way of pre-planned activities and obligations, and you just have to take the time to deal with it... But nonetheless, I have a couple of free days to do whatever the hell I please, so of course I'm going to be catching up on my blog. I am indeed still going to put up Part II of my November/December thrift haul (hopefully today or tomorrow). I just thought I'd come from out of the shadows and let my wonderfully patient viewers and followers know that I haven't forgotten about my blog. I've just simply had to deal with other things as Christmas is right around the corner and there is so much work to be done! 


Anywho, if you follow my TWITTER, you would've already seen these beauties that my amazing boyfriend surprised me with last night. I had no idea he'd ordered them and even more, decided to give them to me as ONE of my many Christmas gifts (so he says). I can't wait to see what else he has up his sneaky sleeve for me. They're from the brand Qupid, and being such an inexpensive brand, lots of their shoes are actually really good. I love these booties because they're so practical and can be worn with almost anything. They also kind of remind me of the much more expensive Messeca ones HERE





P.S!... I've been hating the name of my blog lately and I think I want to shorten it... Or just change it completely.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

StyleIntellect.blogspot.com
Thrifty-Peach.blogspot.com
VintagePeach.blogspot.com
ThriftyPeaches.blogspot.com

You're suggestions would help me out SO much, so let me know what you guys think I should change it to!
xoxo

STAY TUNED:

Hey guys! I hope everyone is well. Today I did some serious damage thrifting and I wanted to share with you a little sneak peak of my HUGE upcoming thrift haul... I may have to put it into 2 parts... possibly even three! If you follow my Twitter, you may have seen my recent twitpic of the load I got today. But if not, here's a little taste of my next post. Plus, other new finds I've accumulated over last week. (I have a slight problem, I know.)

SPOTTED | Neon Brights!


Has anyone taken notice to the new Jeffrey Campbell neon collection? I must say, I’m loving it! I wasn’t a big fan of bright neon colors for quite some time. But it seems like this year's new styles and takes on neon have turned my attitude towards the trend completely around. And this time, JC did not disappoint with the new neon trends they have going on. How do you guys feel about neon shoes/accessories? Too much, or just right? I think when styled correctly (toned down outfit, with a bright neon accessory) neon looks damn good!




You can find some of these styles HERE, and HERE. Check them out!
