Vintage Shopping | Santa Monica Vintage Fashion Expo Report
Last Sunday, Mary Kincaid of Zuburbia, and I headed out to the Santa Monica Vintage Expo for some shopping and long, overdue blogger/vintage maven meet up time. I wasn't necessarily shopping for anything in particular, and definitely not shopping for resale. I was really looking forward to meeting some of my favorite sellers and bloggers in person though.

I didn't have any celebrity sightings this time, but I did find some amazing couture vintage. It's like an archive!
I was thrilled to meet up with Liz Baca, the lovely treasure hunter at GottaGetTheGoods.com. I was able to convince her to do a short video interview about her Vintage Expo experience...
I also got to chat with Kristine of Elsewhere Vintage in Orange, CA. She has the most amazing selection of mid-century vintage and is opening a vintage clothing store just for men!
I also met Janet of Woodland Farms Antiques in Texas who is a fellow Vintage Fashion Guild member.

You would've loved my little red hat! I wish I would've gotten a better picture of it. It has a velvet appliqued arrow across the top. It's very whimsical and surreal. I love it.
It was a great shopping, talking shop, and mingling sort of event. Mary and I cooked up some ideas and shared our vintage empire dreams over lunch. It was a great afternoon.
Are you liking these videos? I'm really enjoying doing them. Let me know what kinds of videos you would like to see!

Love them! *waving @ Kristine*
I have been so sad about McQueen's passing and your videos cheered me.
Thank you for sharing.

I always like to see styling advice. Perhaps choosing the right vintage style to suit your figure. Getting the whole look together - accessories, shoes, makeup. Basically, anything and everything!!! :)

Thanks for the feedback! It's funny you mention vintage style to suit your figure. I was just talking to someone about what a great eBook this would make. Thinking...

I really like your videos. I especially enjoyed the interview with Kristine who looks just divine in vintage. (LOVE THE HAT! I really wanted to see her whole ensemble.)
Thanks for sharing! It looks like you had a great time at the show. Love the red hat.
