My $5.00 fall outfit / A message to Kate Spade

~*Complete outfit cost me $5.00*~

It might not be completely fabulous or utterly exhilarating. But I did think it was cute.

*Back of Jacket*

Jacket cost 0.50 cents

*Madonna tour t shirt 0.50 cents*

*Vintage Leather boots purchased last fall for $1.00*

*Tag inside boots*
Now the outfit does look kinda serious and grown up... but what people don't know is that hidden inside these leather boots is a burst of HaPpInEsS!
Would you like to see?

"BAHaaahahhahah"

*You gotta love socks that make you smile whenever you look down at them.*

Clearance rack Walmart $1.00


I wore the above outfit out to get glue sticks. I was borrowing my Mom's hot glue gun that is dusty rose and has glue all over the dang thing.

(Mine is packed away somewhere.)

So while looking at the glue I saw this blue gun for $4.99. Just to think its cost me more than everything I was wearing.


I wanted to make some fall leaf hair clips.

Canadian Thanksgiving is this weekend. Maybe I should make a turkey clip

*wink*

*Sock in traffic*

And now a message to Kate Spade

Dear: Kate

You do not know me... I am just a odd Chic who resides in Canada and is obsessed with shellfish. Mainly Crabs and Lobsters but I am in no way mollusc, crustacean or echinoderm racist and love everyone in the salty waters equal. Very recently while having a craving for red claws, I of course gave into my urge to do some lobster googling. (Am I the only one guilty of Lobster googling?)

"I wonder"

That is when... I came across your Cape Cod lobster line.
*feels flush*

I about fell over. As a woman with a love for crustaceans I immediately had strong urge to own one of your bags. I immediately imagined myself skipping to the beach, Optometrist office, Subway (sandwich shop) & Insurance office with one of your bags. While imagining all of this... I felt like my life would be so much more happy, complete and fun if I was carrying one.

Trouble is I am a cheapskate. So if you ever read this... and feel like fulfilling my weird obsession. I will be eternally grateful.

Thank You

Who the heck is Vintage Coconut?

Hello everyone if you are wondering who Vintage Coconut is, it's me previously Lime Vintage. I have changed my Blog name along with its look also.

My main reason is: When I joined here I had not a clue what to name my blog or if I would even be around here for any amount of time. So I quickly came up with lime vintage because of my love for lime green and well LIMES. lol


But in a few weeks I will have been here for a year and I like to blog but many times have stopped for quite long lengths of time. I vowed to do better this year and I plan to keep my word. So I decided to help me get motivated I wanted to freshen things up a little and give it a little more thought.




Why Vintage Coconut?? Well I like coconuts.... (oh man we can all see where this is going.. first limes now coconuts) But no NO no I promise its not like that. I acquired a Coconut monkey which I like quite a bit. I plan to add more to this one man collection but have not come across them yet. I also love hula girls and Hawaiian stuff. When I think of coconuts it also makes me think of all those other lovely things. Sitting at my desk I just got last week that I bought from the salvation army for $15.00 (Which will get repainted in the spring) I thought now what am I going to put on my desk and decorate it with?? The first thing I went and got was the coconut monkey. Followed by a pineapple shaped candle and a little Hawaiian hula girl. Those are the things I look at when I sit down at my desk. I could have picked anything.. but I chose them. Which is a fitting reason to choose vintage coconut. And now I feel a bit better about this little blog. Because I did not choose the name rushed while signing up. I have chosen something that has some sort of meaning to me. Because I plan to stay here and plan to continue blogging. The people I have met on here are all delightful and alot have the same interests than me which is sometimes hard to find other places. Heck alot of people I know think vintage is silly or OUTDATED!!


So that is why I like to talk to all of you. *Smile*

I will post a regular post again soon. We are getting close to the weekend so everyone have a GREAT one!
