My Favorite Vintage Purse

I got this purse from SoWa Vintage Market in Boston and it's adorable! It's black with silver button details and a gold accent, so it matches everything. It reminds me of Chanel (but obviously is not at all haha). According to the metal buckle on the strap the brand is "Vittoria." Never heard of it. Not sure if it's leather or not, but that doesn't really matter to me.  But for $17 at a vintage market, I'll take it!

The owl in the picture is a little brass statue I picked up at the market for $5! So cute!

Carrini Boots & My First Experience with HauteLook

Carrini - Studded Cuff Military Boot in Cognac

As a college kid and frequent online shopper, I'm constantly tempted to make impulse buys from sites like HauteLook, where I convince myself they're offering an incredible deal. Twenty bucks here and there can really add up, so I've become an expert window (screen?) shopper instead. I've always enjoyed scrolling through the site's latest deals in my spare time, but I did not want to buy anything unless I really needed it.  

After browsing around for a pair of casual brown boots in the Fall, these Carrini ones caught my eye. They were my first purchase from HauteLook in October 2012 (I've been signed up since the Spring).
