Sneak Peek of the Day!

Last weekend I was in Pasadena helping my parents at the a Flea Market and I scored big time! My family owns a vintage clothing business called Vintage Blue Moon and occasionally we do the Vintage Expos in LA and a few flea markets from time to time. I help them out for extra cash and last weekend I was up at the crack of dawn...the witching hour, to go work this show.
Being awake at an ungodly hour means first dibs on all the amazing vintage. I'm not really one to be up and at em at 3am but after set up I realized that's when anyone can find the best vintage. At 6am I was browsing the booths and came across all of these amazing dresses. I even scored a 1950's De Weese dress in a large size for 15 bucks! Everything else I found for below $40.
I was happy as a clam ladies. A huge plus is that I don't look like a dealer. When I have gone with my mother to the flea market sellers always charge a little more than they would because they know she's a dealer and that she's just going to turn around and sell.

I finally learned that it pays to get up early to go to a flea marker because by 7-8 o'clock, everything will have been picked through. So, Sundays out of the month I'll just have to suck it up and break my "up at the crack of noon" policy. :)


These dresses will be up in the shop this week!
