Travel Guide: Strasbourg, France

March 22, 2017

Strasbourg isn’t just cute; it’s overwhelmingly picturesque. With half-timbered buildings, winding streets, and flowing canals it almost feels like a storybook.

Normandy – Part III

It's a simple, long houndstooth coat. I found it at a big flea market in Florence when I was studying abroad for 25 euro. Once a thrifter, always a thrifter 😝 #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday

Packing up this Gucci baby today 👜 Found at the Packing up this Gucci baby today 👜 Found at the Goodwill bins and sold in one day for $120 🙌🏻 I really put off listing it because it has some wear, even though it's still functional and overall great condition for vintage.
