A Pop-up Vintage Market, LA

I flew in just in time for the Current Affair Vintage Pop-up Market event in sunshiny downtown LA. With 23 Vintage shops, most hailing from California, it seemed way too small to my judgmental eye. Arrival time 1:30pm. With the first few shops it was very disappointing and we figured we would be out of there in 5 minutes. Departure time 5:30pm. Like with most vintage shopping, rummaging through all of it can be exhausting but totally worth it when you find that one amazing dress. I found 3. My friends found 5, + accessories.

The hardest and best things to find is vintage jewelry. And my friends managed to find some great ones. I am still on my lifelong quest for the most amazing antique cocktail ring. My right hand aches for it.

While there we ran into GlamAmor owner Kimberly Truhler in one of her bright vintage dress and coat combo, very indicative of what her shop in Santa Monica offers. I can see wardrobe from Mad Men shopping here for Holloway, Peggy and Betty.

Next, someone ran into us. I don’t really appreciate small dogs but this one was so funny and adorable. She makes one eye very fashionable.

The best dressed at the event was this lady in the most amazing vintage lace dress. This dress was made for her as it shows off the ink on her left leg. Or, she put on the dress and then got stamped. Regardless of this chicken or egg quandary, this outfit is perfection.

Additionals:

Got some really great vintage shades from Allyn Scura Eyeware

Adorable Marisa Tomey was there shopping vintage as well. Her clothes were frumpy but really cute. it was probably because of the way she held herself with ease.
