Flea Market Finds

Being someone who lives on a budget, I am always looking for a deal. Every weekend I make it to the great flea market across the street from my apartment in the East Village on Manhattan Island. Unlike most flea markets in the city, this one tends to stay true to the form of a traditional bargain gold mine! Here are my fabulous finds for the day! And all for less than $20. How's that for a deal!

vintage safety pins (3 colors) + wood coin + costume jewelry = $2

amethyst necklace pendant = $5

moroccan coin necklace = $5

leather woven bracelet = $1

Friday Find!

So I know I claimed earlier that I never venture out to Forever 21, but today I found myself in there for the second time this week. This time, it was because a friend needed to pick up something for the night. I wandered around, and found a few things that piqued my interest, but nothing I felt was worth spending $20+. But then I spotted something I was not expecting, a beautiful, colorful, embroidered backpack / satchel! Sooo in love right now. And the strap has a zipper that makes it into a proper backpack! Excited to say the least!

What do you guys think??
