As vintage lovers you already know that half the fun is the hunt for great vintage and half the fun are the experiences that come with it.

This past weekend I waggled my tail down to the vintage expo at The Reef in Downtown Los Angeles and let me tell you it was a sensory overload. Unfortunately my budget didn't allow for the splurge I so desperately wanted to do . Still I thought I would have a look see.
You see there were racks and racks and well more racks of dresses and coats from 1930 to I would say 1980 give or take a decade or two.

I devised my plan of attack and went at it. Refusing even the thought of buying anything above a dollar. Then though, then I found the deal breaker. The hat I couldn't live without.
It made me so weak in the knees I forgot to capture the moment to share I simply paid as fast as I could and pranced around. The photo above is of me yesterday all dolled up for the sole reason of showing off the hat.
Okay now I know I said I wouldn't spend over a dollar, mmmm well I did talk the dealer ( whom of which has no website or anything or I would have linked it for everyone) down $15 so I paid $20 which I think is a pretty good price for a vintage hat. Food and rent? been meaning to go on a diet anyway, just joking this really was the last of my fun money though.
Then I took a little break in the waiting area they set up. I think the organizers knew this was going to be a bit much to take in.
After that I browsed because I couldn't spend anymore, but sometime window shopping and talking can be just as fun. I found this beautiful fur trim coat at the Digs-n-Threads booth.

Then I headed over to Fab Gabs for the biggest Bakelite collection I've ever seen in person. It was two dames and a gent looking fabulous with Australian accents to boot.
Although they don't sell the Bakelite on their etsy they do have some great things and were so nice in letting me take pictures.
Tired yet? I sure was, so that's about the time I decided to head home. It was a great day and I have to thank
Without them I wouldn't have been able to go they gave out free passes to everyone that came across their website.
I will be posting more vintage events stay tuned!
