GIFTING ON A BUDGET.

Hello lovlies!

It’s officially December! Countdown to Christmas, and entering into a time of….madness, angst, hustle, overspending, commercialism…I’m choosing to not buy into all of that this year. True, you can’t avoid all of the craziness, but in the gift department, I’m skipping department stores all together. This post is the Juniper James full version of my appearance on Channel 3’s morning show from earlier this week, showing you step by step how to do it. I spent less than $20 for each of these gifts! You can do it!

Thrift Stores are a great place to find gifts for family & friends. Hopefully you’ve read my recent post on 10 ways to shop green.  Before you think giving second-hand gifts is pushing it, take a look at some of my ideas. They combine new & used items, or used & handmade, to create what I feel is a much more meaningful gift than something brand new that comes with too much packaging and a return label. Thrift stores have TONS of Christmas decorations, easily converted into fun, interesting wrapping. Less waste, more wow.

Here are just a couple ways to give creatively, be green and save money this holiday season.

 This first gift is for a whole family. Perfect for, say, your cousin, spouse & kids – thoughtful but not individual gifts for each person. Everything in this gift but the Martinellis came from the thrift store, including the wrapping. I found this great picnic basket & it serves as the container for the rest. no box/bag/excessive packaging neccessary. The ribbons & pointsettias: less than $1.00. Festive & cost effective.

Inside the basket: recipe for a family picnic (probably indoors since it’s FRIGID out!) A new candyland game, picnic blanket, new hardbound Borders recipe book (with appropriate title) & plastic drinking goblets. At the grocery store, Martinelli’s were on sale, 2 for $5.00. All together, a great family gift, and you spent under $20.

This gift is obviously for the little one in your life. My little niece Tyrah LOVES Dora. I found the Dora backpack first, just browsing for ideas around the store. Once I had the backpack in tow, it was simple to put together the rest. Looking for things for a little girl, pink things, and DORA things. I was so thrilled to find the Jacket, doll and brand new bingo game – what a great gift for a little girl! I made the tag myself just using cardstock, ribbon, a little metal tag & markers; all of which I already had at home. Can’t wait to see her face.

As if the Dora package wasn’t cool enough, I also found a purple little girl’s BIKE. $7.99. Incredible. I wiped it down & aired up the tires when I got home, but honestly, a bike for $7.99?! This is what I do, and even I was surprised & excited!

I found this cute little felt Christmas bag, filled it with tissue, & used it for the tag. (just in case it was a mystery who the purple little girl’s bike was for.) Added here: hanging ornaments & a big red bell. This is a great way to do a gift tag, seperate of the bag, on any gift. Take a sharpie & decorate a plain ornament. “Tyrah, Merry Christmas 2009. Aunt Kari & Uncle Charles.” This is great as a keepsake for that year from you, that people can hang on their tree this year & in years to come.

This is one of 2 guys gifts I put together. Guys can be hard to shop for…girls in general like jewelry, chocolate etc. but guys can be a bit more difficult to peg in generalities.

Thrift Stores have great books. Not justold ones either. I found these 2 that are by current, populoar authors, in good condition. I had a couple family members who saw my news segment say, “so, are the books for me?”

For creative wrapping for the books, I used only things I already had at home. The paper was left over Valentine’s Day stationary. I like doing the details a bit asymmetrically, it just makes it a bit more interesting. I took an old deck of cards & cut some of the hearts cards in different sizes, places them on top of a whole card and used a vintage hat pin I’d bought a long time ago at a thrift store to punch through all of them. Then I just put the to, from & a little saying on the bottom for good measure.

You can use almost anything to decorate a gift. It’s fun to have just 1 simple object, or cluster a few smaller ones for a point of interest. If you have smaller sized christmas ornaments, they look very festive all clustered on top of a pretty ribbon. Get creative!

This second guys gift is for the music lover. Vinyls are SO reasonably priced at Thrift stores. The ones I bought were 29 and 49 cents each. If he has a record player – SWEET! If not, this is still a great gift. I found these simple metal black frames at Target for $9.99. They are specifically for displaying record sleeves as art on your walls. I can just picture a music room or den with a bunch of these on the walls – super artsy. The frames make it easy to switch vinyl covers in & out, and can actually have the record inside while framed. I also got emails from family on this one: “Hey, I saw your piece on channel 3, you did so great! so anyway….who gets the framed Johnny Cash album?”

For a eco-creative way to wrap a guy gift: comics! Grab a newspaper from work or that ever-growing recycle pile near the back door, pull out the best part & wrap your gift. Find one comic to cut out that maybe represents that person to you, mount it on cardstock, and use as the gift tag. Add ribbon, and pair with an iTunes gift card. $9.99 frame + free wrapping + $0.29 record + $10 iTunes card = $20.28

So I’m technically over. But it’s a sweet gift, right?

This is my awesome woman’s gift. You don’t need to wrap it, since the great beaded bag works to hold everything.

I found everything second hand. Beaded bag, leather  photo album, design magazines, earrings and necklace. Under $20. Amazing, I know. : )

Similar to the assembly of the Dora gift, I started with the tote, and picked things that went with the color & theme of a leisurely afternoon to yourself.

For the earrings – cardstock + your creativity. You have scissors and pens right? It doesn’t have to be super artistic. Add a little tape on the back to keep them in place.

The same goes for the tag. Cardstock really comes in handy. I draped the necklace throughand taped it on the back to hang where I wanted. Added some feathers I had at home, tied it all up with some ribbon & used my markers.

I hope this has inspired you in the gifting department, to skip department stores and go for a more eco-friendly, personalized gift this year. A big thanks to Thrift Town for their amazing stores – I got everything for this piece there.

Do you have more ideas of great home-made gifts? I want to hear all about it!

Until next time – be intentional. Make someone’s day better. – Kari

JUNIPER GOES LIVE.

Hello Darlings - 

I told you earlier this week of the wonderful upcoming events on local TV for me & Juniper James… And they have come to pass. 

My  piece with Channel 10 aired last night on their 11 o’clock news. Click HERE for that. 

They did awritten story for that segment too, so you can go HERE for that.

THEN I was on Channel 3 this morning LIVE!

I had a great time, & they were all really great to work with. You can watch the video of my thrift gifting HERE.

Thank you to all the readers who have offered to wear the look of the week for the new, 2010, more diverse Juniper James.

I will let you know at the point that I am scheduling a shoot. If you would like to help me show that style knows no size, and fashion can be accessible to all, drop me a line. Since I’m so small, I’d like to be able to show some different sizes, and also showcase some great guy style. I’m not sure how many guy readers I actually have out there, but I’d love to hear from you!

If you run a shop here in Sacramento, and are interested in sponsoring the look of the week (Thrifting How-Tuesday post), I’d love to talk to you. 

You can contact me at kari.shipman@gmail.com

Be intentional – make someone’s day better. 

FUNKY MAROON MONKEY.

THRIFTING HOW-TUESDAY

The joy I find in funky tights grows with each new pair I find.

Isn’t this color awesome?!

This is my 3rd look sponsored by Thrift Town & Channel 3, for my 3 looks for under $20 challenge. I think it’s pretty sassy.  I knew I wanted 1 of the 3 looks to involve tights with shorts, and also know that a lot of thrift stores get brand new items in. Tights are one of those things that count as undergarments to me, so I only buy them new. I’d never actually bought tights at a Thrift Store, but I was willing to look since the whole outfit had to be thrift. When a worker & I walked over to look, she said, “Sorry, all we have new in a package is a pair of PURPLE tights… So, better luck next time, huh?” Seriously? You have PURPLE tights?! So excited. I know she thought I was really wierd. For liking the tights at all, and probably also for the little happy dance I did in the aisle.

These dark denim shorts have fun sailor-inspired buttons and fit me just right. With the bold colored tights, I figured I should then keep the rest of the look really basic so it wouldn’t be too busy.

The great silver buckle on the top is the perfect amount of visual interest, making a necklace etc unneccessary.

These boots are great. the end. They’re the perfect height to wear with the shorts.

Tally for this week’s look:

- black is back boots: $7.99

- sail me to the moon denim shorts: $4.99

- marooned here all alone tights: $2.99

- all buckled up w/ everywhere to go shirt: $3.99

GRANDE TOTAL: $19.96

Just barely eeked in under $20. TA-DA!

JUNIPER GOES LIVE!

Hello lovelies, I have some exciting news!

I have been very busy lately… 

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving I taped a segment with Channel 3, taking on their challenge to find three complete fall outfits for under $20 each. I’ve now featured 2 of the 3 looks for my past two Thrifting How-Tuesday posts (with much thanks & respect to Jeannine Wells & her stellar photography skills!!), and the last outfit is coming up this week. The news piece aired the next day (Thanksgiving) and I was out of town with family & missed it! Hopefully I can get a copy of it soon to share with all of you.

That was all very exciting. Then last week I shot a segment with Channel 10. Dana Howard & his cameraman came to my house, interview my husband & I, and had us show them around our thrift-friendly little house. Then we went to Thrift Town & ambushed a poor unsuspecting girl & helped her (in 10 miuntes) put together an outfit for job interview. So fun! 

This piece will be airing: This Monday (12/07/09), Channel 10, 11 PM news.

Soon after I got done with Dana, I got a call from Channel 3 wanting me to come LIVE in studio & tape a segment on gift giving using recycled/thrifted items & wrapping. Soooo….

This Tuesday morning (12/08/09) I will be LIVE in studio at Channel 3 for their 8AM morning show!!

I’m just a little excited. Can you tell?

I’m happy that living green, recycling, supporting local, thrifting and being stylish all the while is something that I’m able to put out there on a broader scale. Thanks to all of you who read, comment & support what I’m doing. When I get video links, I’ll put them up for you all, but let me know if you’re able to catch any of my appearances live! : )

10 WAYS TO SHOP GREEN.

Christmas shopping doesn’t have to break the bank.

With our current economy, I know a lot of people are dreading the holidays (more than usual for some). Lets be honest – it’s demoralizing to feel like Christmas will be sub-par because of job loss, cut work hours and everything being so dang expensive! I’m here to tell you that with a little creativity, your gifts can actually be more meaningful this year, be green, AND cost you much less! This is the first of a series of posts designed to help you survive the gift-gauntlet & actually be proud of what you’re giving.

To get you started, here’s some basic tips on shopping second-hand for first-rate gifts:

1. Create a list of all the people you want to shop for and list out any special hobbies, interests, collections, clothing sizes, favorite colors, requested items, etc. You might be surprised at the items you find that perfectly allign with someone’s specific interests.

.
2. Shop “second” first. Venture out to the thrift store first to see if you can find any of the gifts on your list- or score a special treasure.

.
3. So you found a great recycled treasure? Congratulations! Before you buy it and gift it, you need to be certain the gift is something the recipient would enjoy and that he or she would appreciate a green gift. If they are that sort of guy or gal, you might even want to let them know that you have taken the time and effort to give them a green gift.

.
4. Second hand gifts must be clean and in excellent condition! You may need to use a little effort to wash, polish, iron, etc. your green gifts.

.
5. Mixing old and new is a great way to save some green and add some green to your gifts. Every secondhand purchase counts when it comes to being good for the environment and saving money. Idea: Add a thrifted ornament as part of the wrapping on a new gift. Post coming with new + thrift gift ideas!

.
6. Get crafty or bake! When it comes to gifting home-baked cookies or candy:  pretty plates, platters, cookie tins, and bowls, make much better gift containers than paper plates. Sidenote – I love sweet things. Post coming with yummy recipes & thrift packaging!

.
7. Don’t forget the trimmings! Thriftmas gifts must have pretty wrapping. Fabric bows, nice quality wrapping paper, recycled containers or wrapping such as baskets or vintage linens really make these special gifts sparkle. Thrift stores are full of items that can help you decorate a pretty package such as silk flowers and ornaments. Post coming on Wrapping Green!

.
8. Give the gift of thrift by giving a thrift store gift card. Many thrift stores such as Thrift Town offer gift cards in various amounts. If you’d like to give green and you’re just not sure what to give- no problem! Gift cards are a wonderful way to share the fun and excitement of thrifting with family & friends. See #3. And in case you were wondering what to get ME this year, a gift card to Thrift Town sounds wonderful, thanks. : )

.
9. Find the best thrift stores near you! Search the web for local thrift stores in your area. Check out my thrift & vintage store directories for locations. Most  thrift stores have websites with locations, driving directions, hours and even sale day information. To help find the right store for you, you can even read reviews on sites like www.yelp.com.

.
10. Shopping secondhand is a treasure hunt, so be patient and enjoy the hunt. Don’t wait til the last minute! You will feel great when you find that special prize.

These tips come to you by way of Thrift Town – they’re so creative there!

When I saw their ideas, I knew I had to share them with all of you.  If you’re new to the whole thrift shopping thing, I personally think you should start at Thrift Town when heading out on your second-hand gift adventures- they have really organized home-goods sections ( and every other section too), to make it easy to spot what you’re looking for. Happy gifting, friends!

BOOTS W/ A SIDE OF SASS.

THRIFTING HOW-TUESDAY

 

If you don’t have a pair of sassy boots – it’s about time!

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s now officially REALLY cold out there! And it hasn’t even started storming yet. Last Saturday, in my rush to get home from out of town, throw together something nice and get to a family memorial service, I neglected to remember the temperature & boy was I sorry I had a thin knee-length dress on with heels instead of boots. SO cold. ”Aren’t you the one who’s all about dressing warm for Fall? Where’s your boots?!” I forgot it was cold, ok?

I love cremes & browns together. I also really like mixing textures & shapes. The striking boots, linen tunic with great embellishment at the top, the smooth caramel colored bag, and the beads – this necklace is so cool. I pretty much would love to have it in a ton of different colors.

 

This is a great look for a casual date night, or maybe even a first date. Spunky with a lot of personality. I think more than most outfits I wear, or even just of the ones I feature, this outfit seems to get a lot of attention. I think people don’t believe I could really get all this at a Thrift Store. Much less for under $20.00. Well, I did. And I love it.

Tally for This Week’s Look:

– Sassy Boots: $7.99

– Perfect Skinny Jeans: $2.99

– Creme Embellished Tunic: $4.99

– Brown Woven Belt: $0.99

– Cascading Bead Necklace: $1.99

Grande Total: $18.95

FEASTING ON FAMINE.

This has nothing to do with fashion. But it is about supporting local & thinking global, which I am very passionate about, whether it’s clothing related or not.

You may have seen my recent article about Food Inc & rethinking the food we eat. Some friends & I are taking on a challenge for the next few weeks & think it’s worth sharing with all of you. These are my amazing friends.

Last year, we decided to look at the holiday season a little differently, tired of all the crazy hustle & consumerism. (See recent article, Avoiding the Madness) We decided to choose something in our lives that we could give up for the advent season and take the money we would have spent & put it toward something that really matters. Last year, what that looked like was drinking nothing but tap water for 2 weeks. All the coffee, beer, smoothie etc. money that we would have spent then went toward an organization that builds wells for communities in Africa. Sacrificing with only water = people in Africa now have the gift of clean water. 

This year, these same friends & I are committing to eat on only $2 a day for the next 2 weeks. That includes coffee, any drinks, snacks and meals.  I’m so excited to start this project with some of my favorite people. Similar to our water project last year, our challenge directly correlates.

There’s a school in Africa that is currently educating 600 kids, who recieve their only meal at school every day. Funding for the meals has recently dropped out. So, the difference between spending $2/day and what we would have normally spent on groceries will be going to feed those kids. So they can be empowered by the education they crave. 

A bunch of us went last night to the Natural Foods Co-op, and I was able to learn so much! We got 2 big bags of food (grains, beans, rice, produce, spices) for $17.00! We made organic wheat pancakes this morning & I was surprised how good organic can taste. I’m so stoked to have one more avenue of building true comminuty with my friends. We’re learning from each other & trying new things. It’s great to go shopping as a group, and pool our collective $2 for the day to cook together. For more info on what all this is about:

BLONDE AMBITION.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with those you love. I know I did! I’ve been a busy bee with clients these past few weeks, and couldn’t be happier to be busy every day doing what I love. Not all of my clients want before & after (or any) pictures up on my blog, but lucky for me, these girls didn’t mind.

This past Wednesday I had my first double header set of clients, and it was a challenge.

At first glance, they look similar, but their true taste in clothes turned out to be very different.

This is me with Jessica & Bridget.

Bridget’s mom hired me for the 2 girls and was anxious to see what I’d come up with. She wanted me to help them show their personalities a bit more through their wardrobes. Over lunch at Bella Bru, the consensus from Jessica & Bridget was: They don’t really have a style. Whatever’s clean & comfortable is what gets worn.  You have no idea how often I hear this, and not just from 14 year olds.

From 14 to 94, I think there is an overwhelming idea that a pulled together look has to be fussy and a lot of effort to put together. It doesn’t have to be! I see so many middle-aged woman who settle for jeans, tennis shoes and an oversized sweatshirt when they could do SO much more. You can do fussy & complicated if you want, but there’s a way to have a style that’s uniquely YOU without all the fuss. What isn’t easy is developing that unique style. Which is where I come in.

Bridget & Jessica both wanted a look that’s super comfy & easy to throw together at a moments notice, but showed more of their individual personalities. These girls are gorgeous and could wear anything & look great. I came in and was able to ask questions. And more questions. Being able to ask the right questions is key –initial consultation is important!

Since I wasn’t able to do their closets first, I was at a bit of a disadvantage not having seen anything other than what they were wearing, but both girls told me they wear jeans, & big baggy sweaters / sweatshirts. Every day. Really?! Goals for the day: Bridget prefers to stay with baggy tops, Jessica would like some color & girly flair. Since both girls were well-stocked on jeans & cute shoes & boots, we focused on changing up the top 1/2. 

I like that we were able to do a really versitile black top for Jessica but punch it up with a leopard print top underneath. We got her a few bright colored cami’s too to switch out with the top.

Bridget told me she actually shops in the guy’s sections at stores (which doesn’t make her brother too happy). Once I resigned to a less fitted, more masculine bend to Bridget’s look, the smile came out & we piled the cart with items from the men’s section. 

This first look is fun & preppy, but not too up-tight when worn with the torn-out jeans. We’re keeping with the baggy & masculine look, but giving it a bit more spunk.

 I did each girl’s colors & was surprised to not find one overlapping color. If a color looked great on one, it completely didn’t on the other. Go figure.

In keeping with fun animal print, we found this great sheer zebra print tank for Jessica. It looks great with any of the bold colored cami’s we’d already picked out to go with her black blouse.

Both Jessica & Bridget said they have long solid colored cardigans to wear over any short sleeve tops we found. Hello versitility!

Bridget really liked this look – big & baggy on the top, but sinched in with a nice woven belt ( we got a few in different colors). Similar to Jessica, we were able to get a bunch of great bold-colored cami’s to switch out under these collared shirts.

For another take on this look, we got Bridget a great persimmon colored cardigan that can be worn over the collared shirts with the rolled sleeves out the bottom. Belt can be on the inside or outside of the sweater.

Once again – versitility in layers. I love the green with her brown eyes. : )

 

When it was all said & done, girls were happy & mom was happy which means, I was really happy. An afternoon of enlightening shopping with 2 teenage girls resulted in a lot of versitile tops & accessories, and a total bill of LESS THAN $100. For both girls’ stuff.

Thanks for a fun afternoon, ladies! Hope you’re having fun with the new additions to your wardrobe!

PENCIL PUSHER.

THRIFTING HOW-TUESDAY

An easy way to class up your look – a great pencil skirt.

A great way to jazz up a pencil skirt – get it in a bold color!

I think a well-fitting pencil skirt is a super versitile wardrobe staple for any fashion forward girl.

Just yesterday I was working with a client who had some great individual pieces but didn’t know how to put them all together. Something was missing. In going through her closet before heading out for the thrifting part of the day, she’d try on tops & cardigans, with the same frustration: yeah, this is cute, but what do I wear it with?!  The answer to that question many times was ‘the great pencil skirt we’re going to find today’. And find it we did! She is now the sassy owner of an awesome charcoal grey wool pencil skirt (for $2.99!) and it completes so many outfits for her.

I’m wearing a tall pencil skirt here, and it’s a very vintage way to pull it off.

The high waist is a fun way to add a little spunk & character to an otherwise basic dressy office look. I would say, since I have a diverse audience, that the high waist look is a bit more trendy, and probably most wearable by the 20-somethings. BUT, don’t count out the pencil skirt if that isn’t your age range. The tall skirt is also easily worn at the hip for those not in their 20’s. The main pencil variations are tall & short. Worn further down at hip height, the tall skirt is just a more conservative way to do offic-chic. The short pencil skirts will hit around the same height on your leg as my tall one in the picture does, but they sit flat at your waist/hips, so it’s easier to pair it with any kind of blouse or top.

In choosing a pencil skirt – it’s important to choose the right fabric for your function.

If you’re looking at a vintage shop, odds are, the pencil skirts will be authentic and all wool, which means zero stretch. You have to get just the right fit in a wool skirt, so make sure when trying it on that you try sitting and bending over in it. It would be frustrating to fit the skirt just right while standing, then not be able to comfortably sit at your desk all day. If shopping thrift, you’re likely to see a few all-wool skirts, as well as the more modern versions made of all variations of fabrics, most having some level of stretch. I suggest starting with these more versitile fabrics when doing this look for the first time.

The silhouette that a pencil skirt helps the wearer achieve is the long & lean look.

 In putting together a complete look with your pencil skirt, stick to heels or wedges (or a hybrid like these). This way you accentuate the long line down your body that would be a bit truncated in tall boots or flats. If you can find some great vintage heels – even better!

POWER TO THE PUBLIC.

Juniper James is branching out. I am a small person and I buy all my clothes at Thrift & Vintage shops.

Something I hear often is: I’m not your size, so I wouldn’t be able to find cute stuff at the places you reccommend. However often I may reassure my readers that there is as broad a range of sizes (possibly even broader) with GREAT stuff at Thrift Stores as there is at a department store, many remain unconvinced. Although I have had successful style consultations with clients who are not my size, since I don’t publish photos of clients – that isn’t apparent to my readers. Until now, I’ve featured my outfits on myself out of availability- I’m available & so are the clothes in my closet.

But I would like the chance to show my readers that style knows no size or gender.

At the risk of exponentially increasing the time & effort involved to do Juniper James, I am opening it up to you, my readers. Help me showcase the beauty of style & diversity.

I am looking for male or female models of all sizes for my weekly Tuesday Posts. You must be willing to spend an afternoon with me putting together a complete look & be photographed in it for Juniper James. I won’t be able to take all applicants, but if you’re interested, please email me at : kari.shipman@gmail.com.

In order to make this possible, I am also currently accepting offers from local thrift or vintage shops to sponsor a Thrifting How-Tuesday post. If interested, please email me at : kari.shipman@gmail.com.

This week’s Thrifting How-Tuesday outfit is PART 1 of 3, in a series of looks I’ve put together exclusively with Thrift Town clothes, for a news story I am filming for Channel 3: How to do 3 fall looks for $20 or less. 

Stay tuned here @ Juniper James for info on when my story will be airing on Channel 3!
