Big Dethrose Update!

First things first. Dethrose Vintage 25% off Sale ends Sunday, tomorrow, at 6pm! Take advantage while you still can!

The last 3 days have been full of heat, no power, no internet and lots of time with friends. I had such high hopes for my week on Tuesday. I spent the day with my friend Kat. First we took a bunch of photos for Dethrose and then went to the suburbs to Ikea. Spending the day getting some necessities for the house and just basic suburban fun. I can't exclaim my love for Ikea enough. I don't buy much from there, but when I need utensils and small things, its the first place I go.  And I of course leave with more than needed. But trust me, everything gets put to good use.

Unfortunately that night everything started to go wrong. I came home to no internet! Aaaahhhhh! Then, no power which in turn meant no air conditioning! So all the next day I spent at Estate Sales, shopping where ever I could be in A/C. Came home at 4, still nothing. So I then sat in an Ice Cold bath for 2 hours. Luckily, Kat called and said I could come over and hang out til the power came back on. Hours of watching all the Batman movies....truly is heaven for me. So at 10pm Thursday, lights came back on. Friday, I am finally getting my internet up and running and posting new items And boom! Air-conditioner stopped! Are you kidding me!?!?!  So after a few hours I sucked it up, bought a bigger fan and got to work. Last night I rewarded my hard work with a party and show with some friends.

Today however, feels great with a light breeze and a fan on me. Relaxing with Dethrose postings and reading every fashion blog. So because no posting happened the way I wanted it to this week, here are 10 new things added today and there will be 10 more Monday and possibly an outfit post!

REmodel

Today was one of the days I love the most.  Other than I slept in til 10am, I'm a 8am riser, I started off working and then had a surprise lunch with friends I haven't seen in awhile. Such a wonderful catch up session. Then basic errands, catching up on my fashion websites and magazines. Now I know I dont write a lot about the collections but I subscribe to every major magazine, W, Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Lucky and Marie Claire. I find inspiration and it helps my provide for my Etsy, Dethrose Vintage, I want to give people the Vintage alternative to what you see on the runways. And right now literally every decade is being shown.

After my catch up session, I decided to give my apartment and re-do. I moved every piece of furniture around, now its like being in a completely different apartment. I can't wait to be able to furnish it even more! Until then I have decided to purge all the non-necessary items swallowing me and my environment. This will be taking place soon with a yard sale I will be having!

Enough about my day, onto the outfit post! After reading blogs and magazines all morning, I found inspiration to get dressed a little differently while keeping true to my style. What do y'all think??
