So today I finally made it to the Melrose Trading Post! I've been wanting to check this out for a while now. So early this morning my mom and I with our Starbucks in hand went to go do some treasure hunting. After getting a little over whelmed and disgusted we finally found 3 amazing items that I am super excited about! I bought my dad a 2nd edition of The Beatles live at Hollywood Bowl, then my mom bought us 2 vintage (70's) Chanel purses!!!!!!!!!!! Both of them are navy, over the shoulder type designs and beautiful. Well, actually the one in the photo is in excellent condition but the one that I had her sneak into buying too is a little more "loved" and needs some conditioning. But its a vintage Chanel purse that I got a ridiculously good price on and will love/appreciate it more than a new one. I'm not your typical designer, I need to look beyond graphics to really get me motivated. I've probably mention this before and it sounds cheesy but I literally get inspired by everything! And not a whole lot can be more inspiring or more beautiful than Beatles music and Chanel handbags. So a flea market this like one was just what I needed for a little inspiration on a look at a long/tedious week to come.
p.s. keep the Beatles alum hush, hush his birthday is Oct. 2nd so its a surprise :)!!!
