Nova and Cher Shoot

Nova & Cher Shoot

Time for another shoot! Below we have our own Cactus Collective member Olivia wearing our Nova and Cher Shut Up tee. The shirt works great as a nicely fit casual tee or you can dress it up with some heels. The simple black skirt is from a friend and the shoes are Jeffery Campbell. 

Shirt can be found on our website!- http://novaandcher.tictail.com/products/originals

Thrift Store Reviews!

Post by Gianna

THE POST YOU HAVE BEEN WATING FOR

REVIEWS ON MY FAVORITE THRIFT STORES

Key

Cost- How cheep are the clothes? The more hearts the better price.

Searching- How much do you have to search for a good find? The more hearts the less you have to search.

Leaving- How often do I actually leave with goods? The more hearts the more times I do.

Amvets (shhhh) is like a little self secret, many people have never heard of it. The location of the stores are in very odd and far away places and as for the clothes themselves there is no real "theme" to them, its all very random. As for the cost I gave it 4 hearts. The prices are incredibly cheep, everything is about $1-5 unless you start getting into the nicer materials. Also they always have sales going on normally with 50% off certain tags. The downfall about this place however, is the amount of searching you have to do to find a unique good quality item, hence the 2 hearts. However if you are in a shopping mood or dedicated to find a good deal then you will have no problem leaving with lots and lots of items. I gave leaving 5 hearts because I have never failed to leave the store without buying something. 
(Another added bonus about shopping here is that all the proceeds go to our troops!)

The minute you walk in this rockin vintage boutique you will want 
to hope you can find everything in your size! Home sells great
quality vintage items along with some of their out brand tee's. It
is the only review I gave 5 hearts to only because i am in love with
virtually every piece they have in the store. Again, however,
with great clothing comes higher prices. I gave cost 2 hearts
because everything in the store is also not cheep, although
I do give them a lot of credit for making many items reasonably
priced making my leaving a score of 2 hearts for I occasionally
leave with a purchase.

Hunt and Gather

Leaving-♥♥♥

Hunt and Gather is a very tiny vintage boutique that also sells its own brand

clothing. All the items are slightly pricey but considering how greatly made
each product is I defiantly think its worth it. The clothing here is interesting
for each piece is really special in its own way yet it can still be worn in a generic way. 
By this I mean many of the pieces there aren't crazy clothes but simple designs with
a twist. So you don't have to go out of your way to try to make it fit in your wardrobe.
I haven't been to this store too often so I can't be very exact about my leaving rating,
but even with the high prices I do normally leave with something. This is a really
cute tiny boutique, defiantly worth checking out!

Go to their website and sign up for their news letter 

O.K. So for this store I am only reviewing it by their 50% giant sale that they hold once

a month along with other venders. So I greatly suggest signing up for their news
letter (Link above) so you know when that is. When there is no sale going on the
prices are just too high. With the 50% off it makes things more reasonable. Frock You
is a vintage boutique that has always new inventory and great finds. I gave the cost
3 hearts only beacause some items can be a little pricey especially if its from
other vendors but if your are a bargainer like I am then it should be no problem!
This store also requires you to do a little searching but I normally purchase some 
really cool items which is why leaving gets 3 hearts.

Buffalo Exchange is defiantly a well-known thrift store that sells a variety of clothing
and other goods. I think the prices there are also a little pricey, so i gave it 3.5 hearts. 
I also gave searching 3 hearts because even though there have a lot of great hidden
goodies you do have to do some looking. Even though half the time they don't accept the
clothes I try to sell them -_- I normally leave with a few items, so leaving gets
3 hearts. This is also a great store to find some awesome shoes for their variety
is awesome.

Flashbacks is a great blast in the past with having most of their clothing be from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. It's great for looking for a really unique find that is garnered to be an eye catcher! Flashbacks has really hip and cool clothes so once you walk in the store you will have no problem falling in love, however nothing here comes cheep. All the pricses are relatively high also due to the fact that most of their products come in great shape and top quality materials. Due to the prices being so high I gave "leaving" 2 hearts. Its always hard for me to commit to a purchase that empties my wallet so I normally leave the store with nothing.

Long sleeves make any outfit ready for winter!

Cold Weather? Doesn't matter!

With the weather getting colder it's time to bust out the sweaters and scarves, but you can still wear the same outfits with the power of long sleeves! BEHOLD! I'm tired of people thinking that just because the weather is getting colder that you can no longer wear your dresses and short sleeve tops anymore. You can! Below I have four pictures that show outfits that I normally wear in the summer. I added long sleeves so I could stay warm. Of course I would wear a jacket over them and with some outfits I add leggings. With long sleeves you can still wear your summer clothes comfortably in the cold.

Lookbook- Feels Like We Only Go Backwards

       First Post Hope You Guys Like It!

Hello Everyone and welcome!



Im starting off with an older Lookbook of mine. Here I am wearing the crazy 7 inch Freda eye black heals by Jeffery Campbell that I bought off of Solestruck. My "diaper" shorts came from a thrift store called Hunt and Gather (Definitely making a post about that later ugh such a good store). I joke they are diaper shorts because it's true, they are literally a diaper, oh god im going to make a video to show you guys they are not actually like shorts but more of the pattern of shorts that no one sewed together so u have to tie them, its confusing. Finally my bag and shirt are from my online store novaandcher.tictail.com. The shirt is one of 3 custom made shirts with original designs u can find on the website. Check us out!
