Whilst in West Hollywood, we stumbled upon a flea market at Fairfax and Melrose. We had just spent much of the morning on buses and taxis jutting around to check into our accommodations early to make the most of our day. The Fairfax Flea Market/Melrose Trading post had many treasures--hundreds of vintage boots, denim cut-offs, jewelry and stunning housewares. We spent all afternoon wandering lustfully to each booth, collecting gems and vintage pieces to add to our collections.

a very {foxy} birthday

Every year on my birthday I used to wear the same dress that was covered in rainbow-colored  jewels (seen in image one). This year I will be spending my birthday in Chicago with my friends from childhood, high school and college. Although I cannot wear my sparkly denim dress, my birthday will be inspired by the above images, which are equally birthday-esque.

"Although I may age, my heart and soul will remain forever 

young."

Antique ceramic bowl for sunglasses

A Foxy Vanity Fare: My vanity is parallel to my style; vintage glam. The bowl, birdcage, and branch-detailed brass mirror are all vintage pieces.  The bowl holds my hefty sunglass collection, but only a few pairs are in heavy rotation for  this summer. My Voluspa candles are nested in the middle of the cage, and their scents are beautiful when lit together or individually. The bust is a great centerpiece to my vanity (a gift given to me by Emily),  and it often gets the most use of my biggest, brightest pieces. Much like my personal style, my vanity is always evolving, collecting and rotation.

 A Gypsy Vanity Fare: My vanity is much like my personal style; Vintage Boheme. I love the various juxtapositions in my vanity displays; touches of beauty with edgy elements.  It's relative to my personal style; a very vintage feel with a little bit of modern flair.  It is adorned with brass animal jewelry holders, antlers with floral pops and antique wine and perfume bottles.
