Tennessee Thrifting: Part 2

I mentioned in my last post about the really cool mod clothing store where I couldn’t buy anything because I had already purchased too much. Here are a few of my favorites…

Anthropology Skirt- $10

Plaid Old Navy Shirt- $5

I have to admit, I wasn’t 100% sold on the skirt, until I found out that it was from Anthropology. Have you been to that store?? It is my absolute favorite place, but I can’t afford anything there. I first discovered Anthropology in the Chelsea Market and I’ve been dying for something from that place ever since.

Columbia shirt- $12

That’s normally more than I would pay for a shirt, but Columbia fishing shirts are pretty popular in Florida. I’ve been looking for one for a long time and you never find them in thrifties down here.

Brand new Tommy Hilfiger Bermuda Shorts- $5

These are nothing exciting, style-wise, but they are perfect for work. They were actually $10, but this particular thrift store was having a half-off sale and I needed some new work clothes.

Priceless V8 Sweater- $6

We also got this for half price. It was just so ridiculous, she couldn’t pass on it.

$75 pants from The Limited outlet store- $17

I know this isn’t technically a thrift store find, but they were such a great deal that I had to include them. The outlet store was having a 30% off sale AND these were already on the sale rack. So, just a re-cap, that’s 30% off jeans that were on the sale rack and already discounted by the outlet store. How ’bout them apples. I also got a few other shirts, but no pictures of those, unfortunately. I did so much shopping that week, but it was hard to pass these things up!

New York Designs

Just a little design inspiration from NYC…

Central Park..

The High Line Park in Chelsea… LOVED this place, and found it by accident! It’s an old, above ground railroad line that they’ve turned into a park. The whole place was blooming, Absolutely gorgeous.

A locksmith in Little Italy… who wouldn’t want a sweater for their padlock?

Seriously though, where do I get one?

Urban Barbed Wire..

Chelsea Market..

When I have my own kitchen, I think I need a wall like this…

New York. Effortlessly chic..

The Nicest Person in NYC…

… is from Florida. Ha! Meet Jenipher from Nightly Doodles.

She has a booth in the Chelsea Market where she makes adorable cards by hand. There are cards for birthdays, holidays and just for fun. She makes the cards right there in the market so go take a look, say hello and buy a card! You can visit her website here!

Chelsea Market

This last trip to New York City, we didn’t have a lot of set plans. Our schedule consisted of waking up in the morning and picking a place on the map that looked interesting then taking it from there. This is how we discovered the Chelsea Market. It. Is. Glorious. The old brick building, the re-purposed materials as decor and furnishings, all the different restaurants…. It’s beautiful.

Take a look at the Stray Kat art gallery… the owner is as entertaining as any of the paintings…

You could buy some post cards…

Or you could buy some hand made cards from the nicest person in NYC..

Look at that table!

I almost have enough crates to make a wall like this…

So if you’re in the Chelsea neighborhood and you have some time, go take a look. You won’t regret it!
