Every girl pines after that one-of-a-kind statement piece that's unlike anything she owns — the vintage piece that trumps even the thrill of the hunt. If you're feeling that longing at present, we can help you satiate it, and stat. The Vintage Fashion Expo takes place this weekend, and just happens to be the amazing mecca where all of these dreams can be realized.
At this insane event, you can revitalize your wardrobe with fierce new finds and baubles, or breathe new life into old threads. 85 dealers are set to showcase their finest and most exquisite vintage regalia, accessories, and textiles, so rest assured, you won’t walk away empty-handed! Be prepared to ooh and ahh over a bevy of opulent costume jewelry, as well as luxe designer pieces from Chanel, Halston, Lanvin and Bill Blass (just to name a few). The retro sale is set to open its doors to vintage fanatics on February 4 at 10:30 a.m., but for those of you who can’t wait to snatch up some top-notch pieces, early admission tickets for Saturday's are available for $20. So, head to the beach this weekend and get revved up to peruse some va-va-vintage!
