A little antique hunting is so good for the soul. I love finding items people treasured at one point but that now have totally different connotations: floor-length velvet housecoats, poodle figurines, bedazzled sunglasses... but my favorite part of antique fairs is finding those hidden gems that people thought would never be treasured, like that incredible arithmetic text book. I often wonder if any of my possessions will end up in a similar fair 100 years down the road, and if so, which items will bring smiles, gasps or feelings of wonder?

  1. I like those high waisted jeans. I think maybe some older technology, such as cassette tapes and VHS's will seem very peculiar in 100 years times, seeing as they are already mostly out of use now.

  3. ooh girl those jeans! wranglers do right.

    i was at a flea market today and i totally agree - it's really calming for me to browse racks and tables of old treasures that had a past life.

  4. you look so cute! love your top. and its funny, when i think about the stuff i own now ending up at a flea market or something one day. everything i own already is old, and so if they stand the test of time that will be some old shit haha. and think bout stuff that is new today being antiques one day.. i cant even imagine it, nothing new is beautiful anymore.. well in most cases i feel.
