This weekend was the inaugural Adventures in Thrifting and we had a blast. I met up with four readers for a day of thrift shopping. We hit up the "Big Three" on East 23rd Street: Goodwill, Housing Works and Salvation Army. Here's a peek at what I found.

We started at Goodwill where everything with a green tag was 50 percent off. I found a ton of goodies in less than 30 minutes. These Nicole Miller peep toes had me at hello. Believe it or not I don't have any red pumps, so I was hardcore crushing on these. They were only $12...but they were too big!

Fly Finds of the Week: these are pieces that add instant flair to your existing wardrobe. And best yet? Everything's affordable. If you're in the market for a new "it" item, look no further. You don't need to drop a load of cash to update your wardrobe. Just adding one of these pieces is enough. Below are four of my favorite items less than $100 {under $25, $25-$50, $50-$75 and $75-$100}.

Forever 21 Oval Textured Ring, $5.80 A great cocktail ring is an instant attention grabber. The textured look gives it a more luxe feel and no one would ever guess it's less than $10.
