Thrifting Finds & RVA Brunch Club
I’m feeling pretty lucky. If you know me at all, you know I’ve fallen in love with the city of Richmond, and I continue to be blessed by meeting wonderful, interesting people. This weekend was filled with some blog-worthy adventures.
Saturday afternoon, I spent the day in the South side with Sydney, from Chic Stripes who is an expert at thrifting and consignment shopping. She took me to three different thrift stores, and by the end of the day I ended up with 3 cardigans, 3 sweaters, a jacket, a skirt, and a basket… for less than $50 total. I know, amazing, right? This girl has an eye for fashion, especially second hand. If you haven’t checked out her blog before, go take a look. I swear, you’ll be inspired.
I wanted to show you what I got, but I learned that I’m not great at taking self portraits. The self timer on the camera is way more confusing than you think. Trust me. But at least you can see the sweet lace sweatshirt that I picked up for a few bucks, which I ended up wearing to brunch on Sunday.
I had the pleasure of brunching with the girls from RVA Brunch Club. I felt honored to join their Sunday brunch tradition, and we went to a new-to-me restaurant, EAT in Oregon Hill.
Sometimes vegetarian options at brunch are a little limited, so I was excited to see that they had a vegan breakfast option that sounded delicious- black bean & quinoa cakes with cauliflower, zucchini, and sweet potato hash.
(That’s my amazing breakfast in the bottom right corner. Oh my goodness it was delicious.)
I’m sure the girls from RVA Brunch Club will have the full review up soon, but for now, let me tell you that if you live in Richmond, you should definitely check this place out for brunch. It wasn’t super crowded, but the staff was friendly, the mimosas were tasty, and the food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back to this place.
All of this exploring over the weekend really did make me fall in love with the city all over again.
Did you do anything fun over the weekend?
What an adorable top! Love the selfie pose!
My weekend was awesome!!! Relaxing, productive, girl time, date night, more relaxing. Loved it.
yum! looked like a great brunch place
I always loved going to vegetarian and vegan restaurants. I did the vegan thing for a month last summer but ate pretty veggie for months when I was travelling. I found that the vegan restaurants had the healthiest eat out options so I was a frequent guest. It always amazes me how they can transform plants into such crazy combos! Glad you had so much fun and that sweater is adorable!! Isn’t it funny how when you get something knew it’s the only thing you can think to wear the next day, obviously nothing in the closet compares : )
I know! I couldn’t believe how delicious they made cauliflower taste ๐ Thanks, girl!
Um that sweater is adorable! I love it! And your food pictures are making me hungry. ๐
Aw, thanks Olivia!
I love your top! It looks like you had an amazing weekend!
WOW! Lots of food!

Proof positive, yet again, that the vegan option is often the one everyone at the table gets jealous of. ๐
I love thrift store shopping (and brunch)! My sister has such patience when it comes to thrifting; I’m always more successful when she’s around ๐
