A Mini Vacation

This past weekend I was lucky enough to take a little vacation to visit a fellow Vintage junkie in Minneapolis. I had never been to the Twin Cities, let alone Minnesota. I knew to expect cold weather and possibly snow. I had 2 goals, relax and thrift! I met both my goals and then some! I ended up going a little over board and bringing back 200lbs of new vintage for Dethrose! I am so excited to photograph it all for ya this weekend. Until then here is a peek into my trip via Instagram! 

My oh so comfy hotel room, best bed & best shower ever! 

My favorite coat I think I have ever scored! 

 Probably my favorite lil Antique & Oddities shop we visited.

My awesome tour guide Mustache Mike even provided an awesome ride to explore Minneapolis in! Meet Cupcake, 60s blue & white Chevy, so cute! Mike is the owner/curator & barber of Midnorth Mercantile, an all Men's vintage shop.  I was lucky enough to get a first look at his new spot. Midnorth's new location will be opening this Saturday in the North Loop neighborhood in Minneapolis at 

217 North 5th Ave Ste 100

Free Spirit Building 

Minneapolis, MN 55401

 Go stop by and shop the raddest Men's Vintage in the Midwest!! 

 I had a blast scouring the city for vintage! 

I had to snap a picture of the window of this vintage shop. A great Hitchcock theme. 

And then there's the haul! I couldn't wait to sift through all my findings, it's like an early xmas! Looking forwarding to start posting it all in Dethrose next week! 

Family Part 1

As I mentioned in yesterdays post, my family came to visit and we did a lot! Walking around this glorious city was one of em! My brother David walks everywhere if given the chance. So on Thursday afternoon we spent time walking, 13 miles to be exact! So here it is, me outta my vintage:)

 David and his beloved Cubs hat!

 The Lake and the city both looked gorgeous! I wanted to jump in the water so bad! 

The next day my mom, my best friend Kat and David spent the day shopping, more walking and eating scrumptious food!

 David has a hard time posing for pics!

 Kat!

 My Almond Raspberry Pancakes. I couldn't even eat half! We went to Milk & Honey on Division. The pancakes were so good no syrup necessary! The Americano was delish!

 Ok so the humidity was intense, which made my hair intense. Lol! Also I am so sleepy in this picture! I only got about 3 hours of sleep the night before:(  The dress is my new fav! Its an olive green corduroy dress from Anthro. So comfy and I love the 50s silhouette!

Later that evening we went to dinner with Davids wife Angie and her parents. Followed by a late night stroll downtown. I had to visit the new Marilyn art installation. My mom got much better photos, l hope to get them soon to show to you.

 David and I on the Michigan Street Bridge. I got a bunch with Angie and my mom but they weren't on my phone:(

More to come later! Also check out Dethrose Vintage and my shop update!
