Pictures from the Hester Street Fair in LA(yes that is a Lobster Roll, and a Thai Tea FLOAT. I swear, so simple yet so delicious), Rose Bowl, and Swingers Restaurant.
For about a year, I've always looked longingly after my friends who frequented the monthly Rose Bowl Flea Market. I could never get a Sunday off from my part time job at Pop's Cafe since all my co-workers had church or other obligations. Last Sunday, I finally had the chance to get a day off since I was supposed to be on 'standby' for my interview in Atlanta. What I thought would be a day full of shopping led to a confusing and winding maze through the immense amount of vendors that I had not been prepared for. After walking around for almost two hours in the crafts and antiques section with my cousin, I was finally able to locate the vintage clothing area. In the end, I ended up only buying one sweater for $5. Great deal, but I expected to leave with a lot more. I guess after a while, all the camo print and denim cut offs start looking the same. The selections weren't that great save for the few vendors that had handmade or diy-ed items that were well out of my budget. I guess the most exciting part of the Rose Bowl was seeing some of my favorite bloggers shop around and also running into some friends. I also got to see Onch..if anybody even knows who that is. Paris Hilton's bff anyone?
My cousin and I also went to the Melrose trading post to see if our luck was any better, but alas. Those darn denim cut offs plagued us everywhere we set our eyes.
