Wow! Boy am I tired...

This past week was possibly the most exhausting week I've had in a very very long time. First I had been sick for about 3 weeks...yes, I know that is a very long time to be sick. The minute I started to feel better, boom, sick again because I was running myself in the ground, taking too much on at one time. Then, I went to NYC for my full time job, for those who don't know, I work for AG jeans and the company was awesome enough to send me to NYC for a week! Umm...sickness, who cares when you're invited to NYC for all expense paid trip right?! And yes, I know it's funny that I work for a denim company and you all only see me in vintage dresses and skirts. Hahahaa, I never wear denim anymore when I am off because I wear it 5 days a week, I love it but I crave diversity in my wardrobe at all times. But I have to say, that's why I love my work at Ag and Dethrose, I can be whoever I'm feeling everyday, I wear many many hats. Not only do I have a lot going on at my full time job, I also have my Etsy and vintage showcases. This is where I spread to thin. Basically working 15 hours a day and crashing for a mere 4 to 5 hours of sleep.

Now I must regroup, focus and learn to take time to myself and relax. I don't have another vintage sale til August 22nd, the Vintage Bazaar, so my time will be Etsy and finding time for my friends. Oh! and of course the new season of Mad Men. I must blog about that later;)

So if you follow my Twitter or Facebook, you know that I extended my Dethrose Vintage sale on Etsy til Friday at Midnight. That means you have 3 more days of the 50% off savings! Its been awesome so far and in return I have posted some more new items I've been waiting to show you!! These are not involved in the sale but oh my they're sooooo cute!! Go to Dethrose Vintage a check em out!!!

I unfortunately have been under the weather all weekend and most of the week so I have not been able to do all of what needs to be done with my new Blog that will be starting soon. I have decided to leave this blog behind and start a blog on wordpress.com. It will simply be dethrosevintage.wordpress.com. No posts as of yet, still working out all the kinks, but very very soon!

As I have mentioned, Dethrose Vintage is celebrating its launch with a 25% off sale storewide, on all merchandise including Sale!! I have so many new vintage items, I have to make room for it all. And if you are in the Chicago area August 22nd, I will be having an x-large booth at this seasons Vintage Bazaar!! I am so very excited and can't wait to see the turnout, considering last year there was a line around the block and I sold half of my store!! One can only hope this will be the same dream come true this time around. A big thank you to Katherine and Libby, the 2 lovely women who make this amazing pop up flea market happen. It is literally the most fun I have ever had!! So I hope to see you all there!!

Another celebration is to be had, Dethrose Vintage was featured in the Chicago Magazine Timeout! I didn't tell anyone about it because I wanted to wait till it came out. Well today was the day. I am super happy about it and I really want to thank all the lovely people from Timeout, Kevin and Nicole were oh so very awesome and so welcoming!! So click Here to read the article and thank you all for your support:) Love ya all!!!

More from the Bowl and Updates!!

As I mentioned in the last couple posts, Rose Bowl weekend was going to be a 3 parter. I have so many pictures too share. 

Another big highlight was getting to see my best friend Kendra. Now here in Chicago and couple years ago, Kendra was my partner in crime. She is one of those friends that you can do absolutely nothing with and have a blast. We had many a late nights with a lot of laughs and it was a bittersweet moment when she moved to the west coast. She was moving far away but for all the right reasons. Now, Kendra is married to the man she moved for, Eric, and they just welcomed their first child, beautiful babygirl Darla Rose. The raddest family I could ever hope to know! There is so much love between them and I can't even tell you how much Kendra was meant to be a mother! Strength, humor and love. I only hope to be so lucky one day. Maybe not the child part, haha, but definitely the bond between Eric and Kendra. Serious marriage of best friends. Love you guys!!!

AWWWWWW, I miss them soooooo much!!!

I know, even more to come!!

Rosebowl Finds and Family Time

So last weekend was one of those occasions I look forward to the most. Seeing my family, which I rarely get to do anymore, and shopping with my sister Amy. We set out to the lovely area of Pasadena for the fabulous Rose bowl flea market.

 Amy was shopping for her home and fun items for her Etsy shop Vintage Market Place and I was shopping for Max & Chloe Vintage. As you can see in my past two posts, I have gotten a lot of cute and special items. Stepping it up for the summer time!! The Rose Bowl is going to be a destination trip I will be making a few times a year from now on. There was just so much to look at and sort through. Not enough time!

My favorite lil seat.

The texture and detail of this chair is truly gorgeous!

The cute little summer bag I listed this week!! 

There are so many amazing antiques and vintage booths. I spent a day in la la land, playing in 30 and 40's day dresses, crinolines, tapestry and 50's dresses that Mrs. Draper would definitely have hanging in her closet. I was in heaven. 

Our trip was short and sweet. A lot of shopping was accomplished and a lot of walking and just enjoying time with one another. I think we took over 200 photos! So this will probably be a 3 parter! And needless to say, I will be continuing to list numerous new items to the Shop over the next couple of months. If you see anything you like or you or looking for something specific, please contact me and let me know!

Of course it goes without saying that vintage shopping is my favorite thing to do but seeing Amy, her hubby Rudy and my sweet adorable nephew Brooklyn was the highlight of this trip by far.

 

My favorite new purse! It's so perfect and special, I doubt I'll ever part with it:)

My big sis Amy!!

Sunshine and Summertime

Today was the perfect day off. I woke up well rested to meet up with my friend Kat, long overdue hang out. Started off with Iced Coffee and much needed girl talk. Then we were off for photos for Max & Chloe Vintage. Driving back from coffee and chit chat, we came across the most perfect little nook off someone's apartment building. Ivy, green, green grass and huge trees!! This is why I love Chicago, there is always something new to notice in you very own neighborhood. A good friend gave me the advice to look up once in awhile and take notice of my surroundings:) So off we were to shoot some photos of some of the few goodies I bought over the weekend! Here is what we turned out.
