Vintage Winnings

[devilgrrl]

Since I was moderately less itchy and grumpy today, Steven cajoled me into leaving the house with promises of vintage clothing and Mexican food. I agreed since I really should leave the house more than once a week. Plus, it was nice and sunny out.

We headed straight for the Garment District, since I haven't been there in forever. Aside from reinforcing the fact that nothing cute and vintage will fit either my boobs or my ass, I did find a couple really cute things. I bought two vintage cardigans, one black and a handmade cream coloured one, to wear over dresses, a handmade Irish fisherman's sweater (only $10!), a black studded leather bag that looks almost exactly like the Coach bag I was coveting, and a white leather American bag that looked almost exactly like an Yves Saint Laurent bag from a couple season ago. Steven found a couple of amazingly tacky shirts, a couple ties, and a nice pair of shoes.

There was no parking in the rest of Cambridge, so we headed over to Brookline to have Boca Grande for dinner. I think I'm officially allergic to something in Mexican because my throat is back to swelling again. Yay for Benedryl, at least.

We then decided to be all drinky-drinky and purchase cheapo wine from Trader Joe's. We stocked up since it's a giant pain in the ass to get in to Brookline. In theory, we have enough wine to last for a few months. Can't turn down a case for $36.

And now, T-minus 2 hours to Battlestar,

The only thing I hate is that it takes so long to find good things. Some days, I don't have the patience to go and sort through things. Yesterday was good though.

I think patience is my problem too. Plus when shopping with an almost 2 year old I have to be a lot faster than I used to be.
