Dear Creatures, You made a fabulous cape! xo Beth

When it comes to presents, my family knows me pretty well and kindly awarded me several Anthropologie gift cards for Christmas, which I attempted to spend as speedily as possible.  Sometimes I find it hard to use gift cards because then they'll be gone, but I didn't have too much trouble this time.  I found this amazing cape on the sale rack, which has really spurred my fascination with capes and has received countless compliments.  Also, found this striped t-shirt at Anthro, I paired both with some vintage and a pair of jeans, easy enough.  P.S. Feel free to laugh at the last two pictures, I was just messing around.

NEW TO ME: My latest used purchases

This year has been quite challenging in my attempt to not buy anything new (see this post), on the plus side I have found A LOT of fantastic used things!  The following items I bought over the last few weeks and I am just thrilled about them.  This post is in lieu of an outfit post, because I don't think anyone would be interested in seeing the jeans and sweatshirt I have been wearing all week...it's been crazy around here getting ready for the Unique LA show and decorating for Christmas.
