Good evening everyone! I recently discovered this website today, called T.I.L Darling, The Online Clothing Boutique.  They haven't started up  their new site yet, but they will when they reach 15,000 members. To get everyone excited, and joining, they are having this AH-mazing deal: depending how many people sign up with their email via your personal link you can get $5, $10, $25 or $50 off a purchase.  Needless to say, I am broke (hence blog title!) so I am asking all my friends here to help me out! (And get great things to share with you all), in return I will do the same for you, all you have to is leave your link in the comments box, and perhaps another reader will help you out too! I can already tell this site is going to be great, I would assume it will be like Gilt only dedicated to clothing, we will soon find out when they open!

Here is my personal link:  http://www.theonlineclothingboutique.com/MTPe4

Thank you so much everyone! Hope to hear from you and see some links!

Les Machines DeL'Ile Nantes

By chance I happened to end up watching a French Canadian news channel, I wasn't going to keep watching (as I speak very little French) but then this curious little story came on and I was instantly  hooked. On the island of Nantes, France there is a museum called, Les Machines DeL'Ile Nantes; This museum features handcrafted/carved works of art, inspired by the minds of Jules Verne and Leonardo da Vinci. The pieces are all ride-able, hand operable, and just incredible to behold (I mean, just look at their banner! Elephants, airplanes, squids! It's all there!). There are deep sea fish, dragons, flying machines, insects and many more. If you are lucky you may get to go for a ride on the giant elephant or see the giant spider or girl. I suppose one could call this place a "steampunk" heaven (I'm not exactly into this style but I do see the fantastical appeal of it.) Check out these pictures and visit their site, if you are in the area please go visit and tell me all about it! Some day I WILL go see this incredible place!

A Taste of Spring .. Almost..

Hello again, I hope all of you survived Monday and Tuesday!  My week has been all turned around as I drove a few hours to visit my friend for a long weekend.  I was so glad the weather was incredibly warm, it felt like spring was on the way.  Here is one of my looks I wore over the warm-ish weekend. This coat is my all time favorite and my go-to for dressing up in a pinch, I scored it at Marshall's for 1/4 of the original price, it fits like a dream, has an over-sized collar for those cold days, and cute, yet chic, bow details on the pockets and back. How do you all feel about the short hair?!

Hat - From Modcloth several years ago ($15)
Coat - STS Blue (Marshall's!! - $35)
Purse - Vintage (Thrifted - $4)
Dress - Forever 21 ( $13)
Tights -Vera Wang ($9)

Thanks to my Dear Friend for taking the pictures!
