This past Wednesday, my family and I had the pleasure of going to Chimayo (a tiny little town in northern New Mexico) and visiting the Chimayo Shrine, which was constructed around 1816. I had a lot of fun with the family, we rarely take road trips so this one was much appreciated.
While visiting, I channeled my inner rodeo girl and sort of sneaked in a picture on top of the buffalo, which I guess you're not supposed to do because the sculpture is in "holy" ground but I just couldn't resist! I blame it all on the motorcycle jacket...it brings out my naughty side...ha!

It really was such a lovely day. We had a picnic right next to the Chimayo church, the cool air was blowing, and it was so quiet and serene. I definitely miss it! On our way back we stopped by a camel "looking" rock formation. I can't remember the exact name of it, but there's a casino right in front named after it. People in New Mexico love casinos!

What I was wearing:

Motorcycle Jacket - Thrifted
Olive Green Sheer Blouse - Thrifted
Black tights- Target
Lace-up Combat Boots - Ross
Etienne Aigner Leather Bag - Thrifted

"Found At The Thrift Store" Is a new section in which I'll show you exactly that..what I found at the second hand store! There really isn't anything else to do in town except to go out and see what good deals you can find. I'm so happy I finally listened to my family and went to the stores with them because I usually hate shopping but now I'm obsessed!

Here's what I have found lately:

1. Egyptian Inspired Earrings - $0.49
2. Tribal Jacket - $5.99
3. Leaf Shaped Earrings - $1.40
4. Le Pliage LongChamp Handbag - $0.99
5. Impo Black Loafers - $4.99
6. Etienne Aigner Genuine Leather Bag - $1.40

I would like to introduce you to Chris and Kirk Bray, the men behind Billykirk. Billykirk is a company that produces incredible leather items and their pieces are truly made to transcend time. Lately, I have become obsessed with thrifting and that indescribable rush you get when you find something that is unique and timeless! When I found this video I was really able to relate because when you know you have something that other people might not have in exact detail, it becomes your "go-to" item and life gets just a little bit happier.
I also love this video because it reminded me of my brother and I, and how we united forces to create something we are truly passionate about. So yea, check it out peeps!

P.S.
I'm thinking of photographing all my finds at the thrift store and posting them so be on the look out for that!
