✨ Hollywood Glam came to life! ✨

This photoshoot came together so beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out! I had a little last-minute panic that I didn’t have enough dresses for the shoot, so I popped into Bella's Voice and found the PERFECT pieces! 💚💜

I thrifted both the purple and green dresses, and they were exactly what we needed to bring the Hollywood glam vision to life!

💫 Come visit Alena Lauren | Seattle Women's Empowerment Photographer during the Ballard Art Walk this Saturday, October 10th, from 6–9 PM to see more of the magic!

A little love for Bella's Voice, too! 🐾 They’re a nonprofit supporting local animal welfare through their thrift stores in Shoreline and Lynnwood, along with community outreach programs. So next time you’re looking for a thrift find, remember you can donate, shop, and volunteer while supporting a great cause!

You never know what treasures you’ll find secondhand. 💚✨

I found this tiger print at a thrift shop and instantly loved the print… but the frame? Not so much. 😂

Then I stumbled across this incredible vintage frame with the perfect gothic, antique-inspired look but I wasn’t a fan of the print inside. So naturally, I decided to combine the two! 🖤✨

I swapped the tiger print into the vintage frame and gave the whole thing a coat of gold spray paint. And I LOVE how it turned out! 🐅✨

This spray paint has quickly become one of my favorite DIY supplies. It dries super fast, and I’ve been using it on all kinds of things around the shop, especially metal hardware. It’s an easy way to make all of my displays, fixtures, and hardware coordinate while giving everything a little vintage glam. 💛

I love taking thrifted finds and giving them a second life, whether it’s clothing, furniture, home décor, or shop displays. You never know what a little creativity (and spray paint!) can do. 😉

🔗 I linked the spray paint below if you want to try it yourself!

I’m officially obsessed with these mystery jewelry jars! 😍 There’s something SO fun about digging through a jar of vintage and thrifted jewelry and discovering what’s hiding inside.

And I think the pickle necklace might be my favorite find from this collection. 🥒💚 I’m sure it’s destined for a very dedicated pickle lover!

I’m also pretty excited about the vintage gold cuff links, such a cool little treasure. ✨

And because apparently I needed an excuse to add EVEN MORE jewelry…I upgraded the display with a rotating jewelry stand! Now I can fit even more vintage jewelry, thrifted treasures, unique accessories & one-of-a-kind finds in the shop. 💍

Some stains don’t mean it’s time to say goodbye. ✂️✨

These two shirts had stains in places I couldn’t save, so instead of sending them to the landfill, I cut them up and gave them a second life. ♻️

And of course, a little Dolly deserves to live on. 💕 She gave us so much joy, so it only feels right to keep this shirt going in her honor. 🦋

Upcycling isn’t always about making something perfect—it’s about seeing what could be instead of throwing away what was.

Wear it. Cut it. Crop it. Make it yours. Just keep it out of the landfill. 🌎💘
