Twice a year my favorite event ever comes to San Francisco: the Vintage Fashion Expo. I haven't missed one since I started going about eight years ago, and every time I end up finding the most beautiful pieces that become staples in my wardrobe. This year was no exception: a gorgeous nude lace dress from the 20's, a gold heart locket necklace that I've been wearing every day, a sheer white polka dot bed jacket, a black and white gingham 50's sundress, and more that I can't even remember right now. Basically I completely lost my mind in a haze of loveliness. What could possibly be better? (Well, lunch at Zuni Cafe afterwards could be a close second place.)
I was wearing all vintage... a silk dress from the 30's and a 60's coat.
On the bottom left you can spy my giant green shopping tote... which was overflowing by the time I left! Goodbye $$$!

This looks like such a fun place. I think I should join you gals for a dress up party. So fun!
Thanks for sharing.
What an AMAZING place! And hi, by the way! Found your blog a few weeks ago and I think it's so fine!
garsh, looks like fun! is this after you got back form hawaii? your cheeks look a bit sun kissed!!
Wow. How did you get all those pictures? I remember a lot of the sellers getting all crazy up in my face when I tried to take pictures last year so I didn't even try this time. I SO wish that I could have gone with you lovely ladies. Darn work. I had to go all by my lonesome on Sunday. I think I got some good deals though. :D
XOXO
ps When is the next karaoke night??
Why hello there, racks of gorgeous lace dresses!
Ugh. Jealous! It all looks so beautiful!!! I think I might get overwhelmed in a place with so many treasures, though :)

sounds like a great event that i'd really be in the mood for right now. too bad sf is so far away.
Looks like a successful shopping day, and you look gorgeous.
This looks so incredible. I could spend hours looking through all of those great vintage pieces. The sundress sounds cute!
Proper vintage fashion fairs make the world go round. I love the look of all those lacy creations...

I was in heaven that day. But I often looked at all those pretty dresses that I felt too guilty to spend money on. I can dream, I can dream. xoxo
It's been fun seeing posts about the Vintage Fashion Expo floating around the various blogs I follow-- can't wait to see photos of your treasures and how you style them.
You're lucky to have many vintage lovin' pals to shop with you! Also, I'm always amazed at Nicole's novelty purses, including the castle one pictured here!
Dreamy!

oh man I want to go so badly! also, I LOVE zuni cafe. they have the best shoe string fries.
hello heaven!
My man has been telling me he wants to move from Australia to SF, and this makes me want to go too! We have nothing like this where I live so I have to live out all my vintage clothes fantasties online. Sigh!
Gorgeous photos. I love your style! You and your blog are enchanting :)
Hugs from your fan in Paris
