TGIF-Let's Hit the Streets in Lisbon!

Lisbon is the capital city as well as the largest city in Portugal. It's known for it's deep cultural roots, gold,  and stunning architectural design.  The streets are lined with fashion forward felines, donning mixed prints, fur coats and black boots, which seem to be a staple for the city's hip.  Cruise down to the Chiado quarter where you will find international brands as well as modern retailers.  Or, if you prefer independently crafted goods, make sure to stop by the Feira da Ladra flea market, where you will find antique and contemporary hand-painted tiles, distinctive regional ceramics and textiles.  Want to avoid the crowds that other European capitals seem to garner year around?  Then visit Lisbon!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Flea Market Madness!

On Saturday, my boyfriend and I took a brief trip to Treasure Island, in hopes of bringing home a few "treasures" of our own from the flea market.  We were supposed to be looking for a dining room table as well as a dresser to house the rest of my clothing, but of course, I switched gears and made an immediate bee line for the vintage clothing vendors.  I couldn't resist.  I ended up with a fabulous jumpsuit (as shown in yesterday's OOTD) for $15 along with a one-of-a-kind dining room table made from reclaimed wood and a mid-century teak dresser.  All-in-all it was quite a productive day. :)
