Rose Bowl Flea, Three (part one)

Me, braving the drizzle while shopping the caftans wearing a caftan...

There are many things I find inspiring about the Rose Bowl Flea: the quirky juxtaposition of objects; the merchandising; the emerging trends - the dominant one being the whole "Southwest/Aztec" theme which has been slowly sneaking up on us as of late; and, most of all the attendants shopping all 

the trends! I'll let the photos speak for themselves... See anything you want to buy?

Inherently Stylish

I have many more shots of stylish shoppers. I hope you stay posted! As you can see, I am no Tommy Ton, but I do hope you are beginning to sense we Angelenos have little to do with the photos you see in US and the like. Style is more to us than an oversized "it" bag and a Venti latte! And this is one of the many sources that contribute to who we are and how we wear. I so enjoy your thoughts, and get really excited when I have new followers - so please, I'd LOVE to hear from you!!
