checked out the new flea market at Dodger Stadium…it was good, but considering the PCC flea market is free, and the Melrose/Fairfax one is $2, it was very overpriced.
Then, on our way home, we stopped by the new vintage store on Sunset at the edge of Echo Park…Warehouse…great look, great space, and some hand altered pieces mixed in…
I’m feeling long skirts/dresses right now, and the weather is finally cooperating.
I pulled out one of my favorites, a long, striped wrap skirt by Nana Suni that I bought for about a dime in Hlavni Nadrazi (the prague main train station) when they cleared out a bunch of lockers that had been abandoned for a very, very long time.
I had a couple Finnish friends when I lived in prague: and they had heard of the designer. At the time, tho (ten years ago) there was no google: and I could never find out any info on Nana Suni.
Today, however, I found one site that mentioned her: she was one of the designers of Lenita Airisto’s american range: Revontuli (Aurora borealis) line.
lots of changes afoot with Curatorial….more info to come, but for now: a link to the new Curatorial blog here.
La Vintage Exchange’s new site….

flea market inspiration…
i posted a bunch of fun holiday pieces on ebay yesterday…cleaned my closet in time for the Block Party show….
looking super tough:)
I ran into my friend Kristin, who owns IKO IKO, at the thrift store. She had beautiful books she’d just found. I went back to the book section, but alas: only one left….but a new search was starting…and luckily for me its a beautiful, affordable search…Time Life Art of Sewing books…
Basically, straight forward, beautiful books with just the right bit of info to retro image ratio…
i want them all.
