Flea Market Extravaganza!!!

Weekend Wrap Up:

Morning start...
 
Eggs, hash browns, french toast and two shots of espresso and a couple of donuts...ughhh I know, guilty pleasure, but it's Sunday :/ Thanks to my awesome friend Brooke for making a delicious breakfast.  Today our plans entailed a trip to one of the best flea markets in Los Angeles located at the corner of Melrose and Fairfax.  The shopping is endless!! You will find cool vintage clothes, lots of jewelry, furniture, books, records...I can go on and on. 

I get inspired by people and cool vintage pieces. The creative juices start flowing and that's what I love about it the most...oh, and the occasional crepe for lunch and freshly squeezed lemonade :) YUM!!!  Check out some of my cool finds below and let me know what you think!

Scarlett Johansonn in W Magazine

I saw this spread in W Magazine Fall 2011 and didn't recognize the actress at first.  That's why I was so impressed with this photoshoot.  What a fun idea! The thought of this was conceived over a boozy dinner in France (who would of thought ;)).
