Pop Up Vintage Turns 1

by thriftyfashionista on July 29, 2010

This post is almost 2 weeks late but better late then never I (sometimes) say. On July 14th Pop Up Vintage turned one years old! For some unknown reason I didn’t do a post right after the event (I know there WAS a time when I was dilligent about updating) but here is the post where I revealed the vintage maxi dress I wore.

Now this is the post where I will reveal the vintage 1960’s mini dress I wore to my party.

The photo is blurry (as are all the photos) so you can’t see the floral detailing – but you can see that I am holding a fabulous tray of homemade cupcakes for which I am very proud because I managed not to get a lick of  frosting on myself (big accomplishment)

Can you see my candies clogs? I live in them. In them I am a whopping 5′5.

How Patriotic

July 14, 2010

I didn’t wear red white and blue on 4th of July….

Instead I wore this floral maxi dress that i have owned for  2 YEARS! (a great feat for me) but have never been photographed in. I paid $20.00 for it at a boutique in Astoria and even then that was a lot for me to [...]

July 7, 2010

I was going to write a whole post about how I got in to Fleetwood Mac, why I like them, etc, etc, but that seemed excessive considering I can just post all of these awesome pictures I’ve found! I mean just look at Stevie Nicks! Also the hipsters here in Williamsburg wish they could look [...]

The Clock bag

July 7, 2010

The 1980’s  Marilyn Brooks Clock bag to be exact!

In the past couple of months I have seen 2 girls in Williamsburg with this very bag! The first one was spotted at Artists and Fleas while I was sitting down – I immediately flipped out and grabbed at her (something I normally don’t do considering I [...]

Staycation #1

June 27, 2010

I am so lucky that some of my family lives about 40 minutes outside of the city in Sea Cliff Long Island. It allows me to get out of the city once every couple of months and enjoy a little bit of the suburbs. I especially love to go in the summer because my grandma [...]

Before The Heat Wave

June 23, 2010

Got a hold of some outfit photos taken with Adam’s camera before it got unbearably hot in the city.  It’s truly gotten to the point where it’s too hot to even think about getting dressed – considering the fact that I no longer have a job where I see the same people everyday it is easy enough [...]
