If there's one thing Jersey is known for (other than the Jersey Shore kids, or the Sopranos or a smelly Turnpike) it's the diners.They're litered throughout the state and serve classic dishes at an affordable price. And there's nothing better than eating breakfast at a dinner after a long night out. I went back to Jersey this weekend for some thrifting and I had to stop by one of my favorite spots, Phiefer's.It's undergone a ton of management changes in the last few years, which is reflected in the menu, but it still has that no frills diner joint feel.

I'm a Goodwill addict, this has been established already. So imagine my surprise when I learned they were opening a location not too far from my hometown in Jersey.I made my way back to the Garden State to check out what this new location had to offer.Of course, I wasn't disappointed. The store was large, highly organized and had everything you could possibly want. Need a great dress? There were tons of Ann Taylor frocks. Want a pair of heels for $6? There were several racks. If you were in the market for random, fun items, they even had a pair of roller skates and a Snuggie.

Earlier this week I attended a rooftop party and wanted a look that was pretty simple but cute, which is always my goal when I get dressed! It’s been crazy hot on the east coast, so wearing a light weight fabric was a must.I chose a simple LBD and threw on some of my fave accessories from DSW. And of course I had to have a pair of dangly earrings.The leather bag with gold accents is my go-to purse. It’s gorgeous, looks way more expensive than it really...
