new york: part eight

New York was sweaty and beautiful. I desperately wish I could fly all these amazing new friends to San Francisco, where even more mischief would inevitably occur. But I'm glad I had seven days to spend frolicking, snapping photos, dancing the nights away, and learning more about these pretty gals I already felt like I'd known for so long. And don't worry, there is one more New York post coming soon... part nine! (I know, I went a little overboard.)

vintage heaven

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!
