My recent shopping adventure in LA

There is a store in Burbank, CA called It's a Wrap, they sell clothing from the local movie studios www.itsawraphollywood.com .  What a great place this is if you love to dig.  Many of the items have been worn maybe once or not at all and they are all labeled with the film or TV series that they came from.  This blazer from Superfine, http://www.superfinelondon.com is one I couldn't resist.  It has leather sleeves and a cool rocker chic feel.  I fell in love the minute I set my eyes on it and it was the very first thing I saw within 3 minutes of being in the store.  The price was $125, which if you are familiar with the Superfine brand, that is a steal.  More to come.....

Summer Hiatus

We have said goodbye to summer and welcome in fall with chunky sweaters, boots, coats and scarves.  The season has changed and the stores are filled with pumpkins, witches and goblins.  It is that time again, for me to move my summer clothing out to storage and bring in the fall/winter clothing, jackets and boots.  It is a dreaded task for me but one that makes my life so much easier during the season.n  After it is done I only look at clothing that can be worn during the current season and it is easy to see because I don't have it all crammed into my fairly decent sized closet that is much too small for me.  It also feels a little bit like Christmas when I rediscover all those things that I love in my wardrobe that I had tucked away for 6 months.

I had a rough summer with losing my mother so my budget challenge slipped from my priorities list, but I will say that I didn't buy that much.  I am back on track for fall though.  

Stay tuned to see my exciting purchases from a recent shopping adventure in Los Angeles.
