Vintage Garage

I always love checking out vintage markets in the city, so when I heard that the vintage garage was open on Sunday, I made a last minute decision to attend. Even though I was there strictly to "window" shop, there were tons of neat things that I wish I could have brought home with me. I was tempted to buy another coat, but I know that my mother would have killed me. I don't even know how I am going to fit my wardrobe in my dorm, so I am not allowed to buy any more clothes at the moment. Speaking of clothes, I should really start packing up my closet. I leave for Boston in a week!

Until next time, Mandy

Food Trucks And Furniture

The vintage bazaar moved to the Aragon ballroom this month, but half of the bazaar took place outside. I really liked the flea market atmosphere, as opposed to the crowded booths. Another perk of being outside was the mobile shops and food trucks. 

I always enjoy a good food truck, and these were super cute!

I wasn't trying to get a photo of this girl, but I'm glad I did because I am loving her dress. 

I'm not sure if this was an old kitchen cabinet, but the color is fantastic. If I had a house of my own, I would have purchased this piece right away.

It looks like someone else shares my orange obsession. I wish I could have bought all three of these.

Vintage signs and letters are always a good decoration, especially in a brick walled loft, that's where I always picture them.

My retro bike fascination continues. All weekend I've seen the cutest people on the cutest bikes and my jealousy increases. The girl I saw on a pink bike with the pink dress and pink helmet was perfect. Along with my bike obsession, I also have a thing for vespas lately, but I think that I should probably get back to riding bikes first.

As always, the vintage bazaar was an amazing event with creative and fascinating people. It made for an exciting, inspiring afternoon. Does anyone in the Chicago or Boston area know of any vintage events, flea markets, or blog events coming up? I would love to find some new places to visit.
Until next time, Mandy

Dose Market Part One

 

Here are some photos from Dose last week. How awesome is that newsstand?

Since it's President's Day, I have a four day weekend, which gives me a much needed break from school. I am headed to the city in a few minutes for a weekend full of fun and relaxation. I plan on watching movies, shopping, working out, and eating. Probably more eating than working out, let's be honest. Tomorrow I am planning on hennaing (I don't think that is really a verb) my hair. Have any of you tried it? Last month I went to Lush and I saw these huge bricks of henna. They were so interesting, I had to ask what they were for. The women working told me that they are a natural way to dye your hair and that it makes your hair look extremely healthy. She also told me that they could do it for me right in the store. I want to try the deeper chestnut brown at first to see if it works in my hair. If I like it, I want to try the rouge next time because it gives you subtle undertones of red. Let me know what you think about henna.

Remember to enter my giveaway.
