I have already mentioned that one of my favorite events all year is the Vintage Fashion Expo, and this time around I was just as giddy as ever (and when I say giddy I mean that I was actually jumping up and down a bit when I got there). Imagine a huge room packed wall to wall with the most beautiful vintage treasures imaginable and you are seeing my idea of heaven. I filled my giant tote bag to the brim with pretty new things (sorry, wallet!) while I gasped and squealed my way through rack after rack. I ended up buying a 1950's plaid day dress, a 1940's silk floral dress, a chambray and lace 1960's tent dress, a 1930's sheer white peasant blouse, an amazing navy blue early-1960's wool coat, and a few other goodies. Whew. Fortunately the expo only happens twice a year, otherwise I'd be starving and living on the street with only my pretty new finds as shelter!

Ahh this looks like a little slice of heaven! I wish they had something like this where I live.
Also have to say I love your dress with the sweet little blue collar poking out :)
if this is heaven, i want to die now!
btw, is it really expensive to shop there?
i'd be jumping up & down if i was there too, ashley, surrounded by all those girly things. :) you look very lovely in the powder blue dress.

I'm a huge fan of the Vintage Fashion Expo! I've been 3 times, but couldn't go last week. One of those dresses in the post is absolutely divine - the white one with blue detailing and purple at the waist. I love it!

looks amazing! reminds me of the sturbridge textiles show donna does along with brimfeild. just a huge room with the oldest most beautiful stuff you could imagine!
ooh the shooooes. purty.
I was SO close to buying that creepy doll head pin. Instead, I bought a giant flower pin from that booth. love the vintage expo too!
OMG those vintage shoes! <3
Usually 40's are too small for me :/
Oh my goodness I would LOVE to go to this, it looks ahhh-maaa-zzzing! You lucky thing :)
That certainly is vintage heaven! Oh to be accidentally locked in and have the whole night to browse through everything.
That sounds just amazing! I can understand you when you say thanks God it's just twice a year! lol.
Loved the pics
<3
That does sound like heaven, and your dress is so lovely, that fabric is beautiful.
How on earth do you sift through all that to find the goods!? Girl, you got the eye...and I absolutely love how you get so excited for such an event :) Adorable dress for the occasion too!
Can't wait to go there next time! Your dress is lovely, by the way :)
Yep I think I'd pretty much implode if I went to something like this.
Wow, a dream come true for me too. I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
I'm so sad I wasn't able to go this go around :(... your pictures are beautiful... makes my heart melt looking at all those pretty treasures! Is it weird that I would totally be okay with being a bag lady as long as my bags were pretty :)?!

that is such a pretty, darling dress. I love the colour and the pattern/cut-outs in it. very unique :)
Love your dress!!
I need to put this event on my bucket list! I'd die a happy girl if I got to experience something that amazing. I'd also need to have lots of cash too. That'll make it worth my while;)
