A Bazaar Recap...

This past weekend was the 3 day Vintage Bazaar Holiday Pop-Up Shop in Logan Square. I had been anticipating this since September! It's a smaller, more intimate setting than most of the sales I do. If every sale could look and feel like this one, I would be ecstatic! My brother Jon, whom I've spoke about several times, drove in for the sale with his amazing collection of antiques. Also, showing his graphic design and artistic skills by displaying a modern version of a Paper Moon for people to get their photo taken in. I mean how ingenious is that! This was by far the most successful sale Dethrose Vintage has done yet! Just simply take in the photos below and you will see why I was so in love with this particular sale.

This not only was my favorite Pop-up Shop to date, it was also a perfect setting for the launch of my new LookBook!

Of course I did some shopping! I couldn't pass up the wonderful prices!

 My new 1950's Lampshade from Houndstooth Vintage that goes perfectly with my bird motif:)

 And of course I need even more floral tapestry wall hangings:) These were from Yellowbirdd Vintage.

Hope you all had a great weekend as well!! 

Just a few things...

Lots of fun things this weekend keeping me busy! The Vintage Bazaar, a blogger meet-up and tons of new stuff preparing to be added to Dethrose! The Holiday season has definitely arrived! I just hope I'm not to busy to enjoy it all. I can't wait to share all the fun and details next week with you all.

The other fun thing I got to do last week was a photo-shoot for local Chicago Boutique Penelope's. Penelope's has been my favorite Chicago non-vintage shop. The aesthetic of this lovely lil' shop is definitely a 60's modern vibe, you literally walk in and want to live there:) Carrying all the best brands, A.P.C., Rachel Comey, Sessun and that's just a few. Check out the blog for more info. Here is just a sneak peak of the lookbook coming soon. I wanted every single piece of clothing they put me in!

Sip on some Whiskey and get first dibs on the best clothing and antiques from 7pm-10pm! Sat & Sun will be open from 11-7pm:) Please visit the link for details!

And just to reiterate if you haven't already, check out the newly launched Dethrose Vintage website and LookBook!!! 

Thrifting, Decorating and Pop-Up Shops!

The past month has been a long one. Not only for how many showcases there have been, but I have had several changes around me. I totaled my car in September, so there was the stress of getting a new car...ok, so getting the car was a relief. I am still suffering from the accident, no worries I'm sure I'll be fine, just headaches and dizziness. Then a few odd gigs here and there, I'll let you in on more later about those. Then the photo shoot for my upcoming look book and changes to Dethrose Vintage, don't worry I'm not going anywhere:) And finally there was a impromptu re-do of my apt...that was the most fun and the biggest stress reliever! Here is a sneak peek of the sitting room, sorry for the blurry photos they are from my phone.

 I am in love with this 1960's dream:) More to show you later!

Before having my vintage shows I usually go hunting for some goodies to bring to all of you. Now I don't usually thrift in the city but every once in awhile I'll stop in my favorite spots. I invited my friend Leilani from The Thriftaholic to come. With coffee in hand, we ventured out and boy did we have a blast!

 A Karen coat for Karyn?? Nope...if only it would of been cute! I did however come across a 40's Dutch pinstripe dress from Denmark with Karyn printed on the tag. That did make it's way into my closet.

 Leilani and I came across this lovely stallion of fashion handbag...it did NOT come home with us...

 And the end result...

 I couldn't stop laughing in the photo below because we came across these weird boxing glove looking socks...yes...they are SOCKS!!! Hilarious.

 And here is the outcome of my purchases and finds for the week! The displays set up quite nicely, now most of its all gone, it's time to go hunt for more!

 So many dresses to add to Dethrose Vintage this week! Are you excited?!

 I have been finding the best accessories lately!

 The accessories and displays, notice the needle point Cat handbag! It sold in two seconds!

 The ladies running the Modern Vintage show were sweet enough to put me in the running for best dressed. So this was one of the dresses I wore for the weekend. Again, sorry for the terrible photo, I was very, very sick this weekend. Ugh, terrible slouching!
