I recently wrote a story for Refinery29 on my favorite flea markets in the Bay Area (you can read it here) and in the process I took waaay too many photos. These ones are from the Alemany Flea Market, a junker's paradise with a bit of beautiful vintage hidden here and there. That day I bought the dreamiest 1960's lace party dress, a funny basket purse, and a few tiny perfume bottles. These are all the treasures that caught my eye...
That cat box is still haunting me... it was only $5 but I didn't have any room for it in my apartment!
My chilly-SF-summer outfit: vintage top and cardigan, Anthropologie skirt, Chie Mihara boots.
A fellow Ashley on the right... too cute in a vintage purple hat.
I bought that lace dress! How could I possibly resist?!
My new goofy basket purse, $8 well spent if you ask me.

your new lace dress could very well be the fuller silhouetted, lighter shade of caramel of my new lace dress. me thinks we need to go somewhere fancy soon; clad in lace, of course!
flea markets are magical. i hope you didnt touch that vibrasage, it looks filthy, ifyouknowwhatimean.

I wish I was there! So many amazing finds on each table (especially that kitty box!) I know I would have dropped a lot of money at that flea market. I can't get over that table with all of the camera equipment! I think my heart sank to my stomach. I want to pick through it all!
this flea market looks amazing, I wish we had something even remotely similar here! the cat box is awesome, I can see why it's haunting you!
So jealous! I want to go to this!
You go to so many amazing places! x
ohhhh how I've missed your adorable face! I need to make a trip to the bay area and make a stop at every great flea market, ever! I can't handle all these pictures and not ever going.
Your outfit was adorable and i love all the weird/crazy stuff!
