Vintage Shopping at A Current Affair

Hello!  How was your weekend?  This weekend was particularly fun because I was able to do a little pop up vintage shopping at an event in downtown Los Angeles called A Current Affair at the Cooper Design Space.  


This event featured the "best of the best vintage and stylishly dressed fashionistas under one roof".  There were over 60 vintage shops in attendance.  Some of the shops there included: Recess, Scout, Just Say Native, and Mixed Business.

It was my first time attending this one of a kind shopping experience.  I saw some of the most unique pieces of jewelry, accessories, and clothing from the past.  Also, the exhibitors impressed me with their boundless knowledge of the history behind each piece they carried.  That day, I also learned something else. Women's clothing was a lot more feminine in the past, and each piece was made of high quality materials and sewn with great care.  When you purchase a vintage piece, you purchase a unique, high quality item and a piece of history as well.  Love this!

 Another highlight of this event was that it was hosted by Jane Aldridge from Sea of Shoes, whose style I completely adore.  It was really nice meeting her and seeing several vintage outfits she styled for the event.  She is so stylish and sweet!


Additionally, they served light refreshments with music by DJ Marion from KCRW.  I love music from KCRW, especially music from the show Morning Becomes Eclectic.  Have you heard music from this radio show?

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed putting it together.  If you haven't experienced vintage shopping at A Current Affair events, I would definitely recommend it.    A Current Affair takes place three times a year in Los Angeles and twice a year in New York.  Maybe I'll see you there next time.

Hope you are having a Stylishly Sensational Week!
