Saturday

The saying goes : One man's trash is another man's treasure - Something that one person considers worthless may be considered valuable by someone else.

Here are the photos I captured at my city's yearly antique street fair:

It was puppy Kingsley's 1st public outing in the city!
(His outfit is a sign that he's not as cuddly as he seems, he loves barking at babies & other dogs) 

 I (really) wish that American flag jacket had fit me




 Who doesn't love a great food trucks now-a-days?


The best $1.00 pizza that ever came out of Whittier 

 I stopped at The Bargain Bin (my favorite thrift store ever) and picked up these gems
My purchases : Vintage leather case with two flasks & vintage print dress
 
Decided to enjoy my beautiful Saturday dressed as a walking American flag
Lip color : Sephora

Soft and Subtle

I'm such a fan of black and white photos, and love how raw a photo can look when using film. Around 85% of my closet is a collected mecca of vintage and thrifted finds from cities all over Los Angeles. I always shy away from bright white/beige, but these three pieces seem to work with my body and are definitely part of my favorite dresses I own.
