The Vintage Bazaar: Why yes, I WILL go on a shopping spree!

Yesterday was a big day for vintage lovers in Chicago, as a great deal of us migrated down to Pilsen for this season's Vintage Bazaar, which is a lovely culmination of vintage clothing, jewelry, antique and kitsch dealers held as a single day event. Although I do sell vintage as well, I was not a dealer at this event and for once, had the day off, so I decided to head down to see some dealer friends and get a little healthy dose of shopping in before I start two new jobs this upcoming week.

Usually when I go to vintage expos and fairs I shack up in my dear friend Niki's booth, owner of BombshellShocked Vintage, who I work and model for weekly and who's selection I not only drool over, but am fortunate enough to get first pick of, but this time around, I made sure to hunt around the booths of some other local dealers I know for some new spring and summer additions to my wardrobe and household collections. (P.S. Both Niki and her booth were stunning, as per usual!)

And though I kept telling myself I would only be looking and buying for the sake of neccessity, needless to say I treated myself to things that were super cute and I just flat out wanted! Hopefully my fiance won't be too frusturated with me coming home with yet another bag of vintage marvels....

Here are the new black glazed ceramics I got from Kokorokoko Vintage to add to my collection at home:

(Note, I could NOT pass this unicorn up.)


(And I loveeeeeee black cats, especially with green eyes, though it's kind of hard to tell in this photo)


And I treated myself to a new pulp book for my bus & train reading time:

(the illustrated babe on the cover totally sold me)

I have to spiff up my new wardrobe finds, so consider this post a part one, and I'll shoot a few sneak peaks of all the clothes I scored in just a bit.

Yay! Now if this damn weather here would just balance out, I could take the spring/summer wardrobe out for another spin....
