Few things give me more pleasure than spending five straight hours at a flea market. I caught a ride to the Alameda flea last weekend with the lovely Hummingbird Girls, Annalise and Jen, and we merrily picked and pawed our way through the hundreds of stalls. After a few hours in the sun (it was a miraculously hot day) we were communicating solely in grunts, squeals and moans. There was also quite a bit of profanity whenever we stumbled upon a particularly exciting rack of clothes ("Look at this fucking amazing dress!") and plenty of flea market weirdos to bond with. In the end I filled up that yellow tote bag I'm carrying in the photos above, so much that I could barely drag it back to the car. And yes, I did buy the silly stuffed peach toy.
dress vintage
hat vintage
belt thrifted
purse zara
sunglasses h&m
shoes vintage ferragamo
Annalise looked like a doll, as always.
Wind + wrap dress = lots of eeks
How darling is Jen? I wanted to steal those shoes right off her feet.
Pretty sure I swore like a vintage-obsessed sailor when I spotted this rack...
Jen bought this magical parasol and instantly became the envy of every lady there.

I love your hat - more bows the better!

No way! I had that exact peach toy when i was a kid, my aunt sent it over from florida!!!
so weird! you all look lovely by the way!
I mean, how could you NOT buy that peach - he looks like a totally irresistible little fruity fellow.
i had my such day last saturday. there aren't many things that relax me more than digging through piles of junk/potential treasures for hours.
I want, want that dress you have. Just to stare at it if anything.
Oh the Alameda flea market! I never did have anyone to truly appreciate it with and thus never got to really appreciate it myself. *sigh*
I *love* that your hat and your sunglasses! And the dress is lovely. Such a perfect little ensemble for a day at the flea market!
Soooo much jealousy!
Love your hat, the cat earrings and pink dress!! All so lovely.
I was planning on going to the flea markets soon, but I think my local ones were a bit dampened by the floods! Oh well :)
both your friends parasol/cat earrings are just so cute and i love your dress.
flea markets are great, there just so many interesting & cheap as chips things there.
I'm going to have to get myself to a flea market one of these days. & her parasol, oh my goodness me.
what fun! you all are too cute for words! i hope to someday make it over to that flea- it looks amazing.
aww how sweet you look. what a fun time. I haven't been to a flea market in forever.
That all looks so exciting! i'm coming over to san francisco in late May can you recommend any flea markets or vintage stores like these?
Oh my goodness, what a fun flea market! I lived near a pretty good one, but the ones near me now are pretty terrible.
Love your Zara bag. :)
