My schedule can be unpredictable but there are two things in life that are {usually} guaranteed on a Sunday: church and brunch. A relaxing brunch is the perfect way to unwind before beginning another work week.

This week I caught up with my friend Johara from Luvin' My Curves and we decided to hit up Kitchenette in Tribeca. The restaurant's known for its down home cooking.I wanted a ladylike frock that was church appropriate but also comfy for the near 90 degree temps, so rocked the little white dress I recently picked up from the Salvation Army.But first, let's talk about the food, which was beyond amazing.

This weekend I did something I normally don't do: I went thrifting in Brooklyn. I lived in Manhattan for three years so I typically stayed on the island for my thrifting adventures, except for my Goodwill Outlet trips in Long Island City.It was a sunny Sunday afternoon and the Goodwill on Fulton Street was my intended destination {more on that Monday} but the highlight of the afternoon was a little shop called Not Just Vintage.Located at 1260 Bedford Avenue, it was originally recommended to me by my friend Starr aka Gangstarr Girl.Not Just Vintage has such a quaint mom and pop feel, but with better fashion. Bright colors, funky patterns and statement accessories were in abundance. And the prices were super affordable. The owner immediately alerted me that items outside were $2-$3, garments with an orange dot on the tag were half off and other items were 25 percent off. Music to my cheap ears!
