i have no idea why i haven't posted anything recently. i only just realized that its been way too long when i tried to sign into my account, and it asked for my e-mail and password haha usually the website just signs me in automatically. whoops!
so i dragged the boyfriend to the toronto vintage clothing and textile show today. not so much interested in the textiles, linens, or lace but the clothes were purrrrrty. i brought my huge camera bag to the show and ended up taking no pictures at all, which makes me wanna slam my face into the wall but oh well, what can you do about it now?
i didn't end up buying any clothes because i got to the show late so most of the cheap, affordable stuff was already gone and everything that was left over was extremely vintage, valuable and therefore extremely expensive. i ended up getting a beautiful wallet that i dug through a deep pile of old handbags for. it took me a while to realize that i actually loved it a lot and that i had to buy it right away. it was $10, who wouldn't buy it? it's adorable!
so many dresses, hats, gloves, accessories, bags, slips, fur coats. i wish i had more money...
i really wish the place was a bit more organized though. this was my only problem. everything was very crowded and it was hard (especially for me with my camera bag) to get through the crowds of people. there was so much i wanted to see but just couldn't because of how crowded everything was. everything would have worked so much better if the items were organized by category as well. if there was a section for hats, and another for bags, i think everything would have been easier to access i think.
i wonder how those sellers get a hold of all those clothes? and not just regular clothes, but extremely old and valuable clothes. some of the pieces that i saw, i was too scared to even touch them because just by looking at them, i knew they were from centuries ago. i didn't want to ruin anything. everything was just too beautiful to even wear, which i think is why i didn't end up buying any clothes.
everything there was lovely but just so expensiveeee. what i loved most about the show was how all of the pieces had little tags on them which described what year the piece was from and the style of it. it was both a fun and educational experience.
HERE'S THE LOVERLY WALLET I BOUGHT! DON'T YOU JUSE LOVE IT?!
the second i got out of the show, i raced to a table to unload all of my change and cash into my brand new/vintage wallet. i really do love it. excuse the blurry pictures, please. i still need to learn more about my camera.
it cost us $3 to take the subway there, $8 to get into the show, and $3 to go back. all proceeds from the tickets go to cancer research i think, which is great. i'm definitely going back the next time they come. i'll probably be in the line up early on next time though, for the better deals.
