from head-to-toes: thrifted, no really!

PBR was repping at the festival, gave us some cool pins and had a fun photo prop. OF COURSE we partook in a photo op!

ran into stylish Ali on her way to work, her outfits always features an amazing vintage garment and handmade jewelry she makes from recycled vintage pieces and leather under the name Birdalupe. she even has a booth at my favorite Antique store-Highland Row Antiques (such a hot spot-score things like Elizabeth’s sweet vintage hat!)

the EAV STRUT is always a good time if you like art, music, beer, parades and quality time with friends. i will continue to say YES PLEASE to all of the above :)

have a good week
and bear with me as i deal with a nonexistent internet connection=hitting up coffee shops and my bf’s wifi!

VAMP

last weekend i had the pleasure of attending VAMP [Vintage Apparel Market Place] in my old hood, the Virginia Highlands. presented by PonyUp Vintage the sale was on Saturday August 27th from 11-6 in Scott Lowden Photography Studio-which is about the coolest studio these eyes have seen!
the pop-up market included lots of local vintage vendors such as:

PonyUp! Vintage, The Clothing Warehouse, Eclectic Gal Boutique, Simply Vintage Jewelry, Two Tart, Wartown Vintage, Bunny Day Vintage, Modern Matters, The Chic Peach, Patina, June Bug, The Urban Thrift, Recollection Vintage, Beth Ann Style : A Boutique

 I attended for a little over 2 hours and tried to get as much street style as possible, take a peak and if/when it happens again-don’t miss out of this sale Atlanta ladies!

sad you can’t see the little gold specs in my top but you get the main point==awesomeness! this and the last post have two of my newest favorite tops, always been more prone to buying tops vs bottoms. most people probably are. the skirt isn’t new but this is it’s first blog appearance-you like?
hope everyone’s weekend was a goodie!

isn’t she pretty?!
i’ve found myself buying lots of pieces that have little bits of lace detail something i’ve been drawn to for a while now.
happy mid-week!

last weekend was Atlanta’s “Indie Craft Experience” feat. artists from all ends of the crafty world from wearable plant necklaces to handmade ceramic cupcakes. i left with a vintage Liz Claiborne belt and a father’s day gift for my pops- a keychain for his up-and-coming antique truck made from a vintage license tag. my gf and i laughed because of all the awesome arts + crafts we both left purchasing vintage!
we attended the Sunday opening and were in for a little treat with their photobooth:

coolest idea ever-the subject holds a small remote, looks at a monitor and fires away as many shots as desired. for this gal who l o v e s to take photos it was a dream come true!
if you live in the Atlanta area i highly suggest attending next year’s ICE!
have a good weekend yall!
