Two weekends ago was the Spring edition of A Current Affair, the Los Angeles Vintage Pop-Up Marketplace held at the Cooper Design building in downtown Los Angeles. This was my second time participating in this wonderful 2 Day vintage event and as always I had a blast, met some really fantastic people, and was surrounded by racks and racks of beautiful vintage.

Here is my coverage from Day 1, A Current Affair which features more photos of my vintage booth.

Day 1 of the Vintage Pop-Up Marketplace just ended (literally like an hour ago) and I was so excited about the event that I had to post my photos immediately! Last time I participated in A Current Affair, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. I brought one rack the first day, my dress form, and a rug. I think my booth has improved since then, no? ;)

Adore Vintage at A Current Affair

Setting up the booth... I had a wonderful spot, right in the front!




My help for the day ^_^. My friend Eric and my beau.









It was really cool to meet girls that were already familiar with Adorevintage. A few girls even told me they've been following Adorevintage for a couple of years now (hello there if you're reading this!). I think the best part though is when I get compliments from complete strangers how much they love the vintage clothes I offer and compliment my eye for vintage.

Oh, and finally got to meet Salvage Life and Just Say Native! We didn't get a lot of time to chat since everyone was so busy setting up then people started streaming in, but hopefully we'll get to have a good old fashioned "getting to know you...getting to know all about you..." chats. I did get to chat with Salvage Life's intern, Julia, who is as sweet as sweet could be.

Ahhh...and the highlight of my evening? Meeting French actress Clemence Poesy whom I adore! She is so very sweet and even wrote me a little message in my sketch book! *happy dance* This time meeting one of my style icons was a true pleasure unlike my last experience meeting another one of my style icons, Alexa Chung at the Vintage Fashion Expo.

If you follow Adorevintage on Instagram you will see my photo with Clemence, I am geeky happy and Clemence just looks cool as always. I'll be posting Instagram photos of the event tomorrow on AV Twitter and AV Facebook as well (so yeah, got all social mediums covered).

Until tomorrow! More photos to come!

30+ Select LA/California Vintage Vendors
This ain't your flea market/swap meet kind of marketplace...so yeah, it's kind of 'spensive...

This past weekend I was lucky enough to be one of the vendors at A Current Affair, a vintage pop-up marketplace held at the penthouse of the Cooper Building. The two day event started on Saturday afternoon and stylish guys and gals shopped, gabbed, and drank into the evening. I had SUCH A BLAST! Even a few celebrities passed on through and I was able to brush shoulders (and have short conversations) with the likes of Marisa Tomei and Nora Zehetner (from Grey's Anatomy and Mad Men). I was cool as a cucumber on the outside, but inside I was as giddy as a little girl in a Unicorn shop!

Here are some instagram pics I snapped during the event. The next one is December 3rd and 4th, so if you're in LA or nearby, mark your calendars and be sure to check out A Current Affair!


I made friends with the other vendors by me since we took turns watching each other's booths when we needed bathroom breaks. Check out LUX Revival and Vutique, the shop owners are pretty kick ass people! The event was such a great place to meet new people, hear stories, and witness some really fabulous fashion! I had a 15 minute conversation with a gentleman who curates the Debbie Reynolds Hollywood Museum about Kathryn Grayso n and he seemed genuinely excited that I own two of her vintage dresses from her estate because he had a couple as well. Met the stylish gals from Fabulous on a Budget, the super sweet Heather from La Fashion Snob, the lady behind the camera and style inspiration blog HiStyley, and the ever sweet Kat of La Femme Vintage. It was just so nice to be around people that really appreciate, love, and kind of obsess over vintage like I do!

Last Thursday I decided to pack up some of my vintage wares and sell them to the public at a little place in Hollywood called Space 15 Twenty for a pop-up shopping event called "Midsummer Night Sample Sale" hosted by Racked L.A. and DNA Designers & Artists.

This was the first time I've ever done anything like this, so I was a little nervous about making sure it looked great and people would get the Adorevintage brand. I forgot about signage until a couple hours before the event so I quickly crafted the chalkboard sign with a blank canvas, chalkboard paint, and some dried flowers from last week's visit to the farmer's market on Larchmont. Not too shabby...or actually it IS shabby but it's suppose to be! ^_^

I have to admit, I think the crowd at this venue probably prefers more "urban vintage" (as in 80s & 90s) while I tend to favor all things lacey, polka-dotty, and in general older. I still had so much fun chatting with everyone though and meeting a few fellow vintage sellers and fashion bloggers.
