OUTFIT AND OCCASION

Outfit:

Missoni for Target sweater (Battery Street Jeans, Burlington VT), $5.00, Jeans (forever21, NY), $15.00

Missoni, the beautiful and expensive Italian designer, had a line at Target and sold out within hours.  I was excited to see a cute item from the 400-piece line at the cheap consignment store, Battery Street Jeans in Burlington.  There is always an incredible amount to sift through there, but it carries unique (and often quirky) items for every style!  Granted I thought this cardigan was purely Missoni at first, in which it would be worth about 100 X as much, but this signature style is so fun and colorful, I was still pretty pumped!  Plus, I had credit from recycling old clothes so it was virtually FREE!

Occasion:

Stowe Bike Path, Arts Festival and Istanbul House

I could not stop snapping pictures on this clear, sunny day.  I appreciated seeing beautiful, unique VT art at a fair in Stowe, everything from glass blowing to inlayed wood, and then found the Stowe Bike Path, yet another gorgeous and entrancing place to stroll.  I ❤ Vermont!

Istanbul House is a new-ish restaurant in Burlington and it was so delicious!  I had a traditional plate called Doner Kebab, a Turkish dish made of meat (typically lamb) cooked on a vertical rotisserie.  It took be back to my abroad trip in Spain where we ate this regularly.  This was cheap street food when traveling.  It definitely was not as cheap here in Burlington, but was totally worth it!  Be prepared for a perfectly greasy, heavily seasoned plate of ecstasy.
