this past sunday we were at the the rose bowl swap meet and i decided to take a few pictures of the locals. i thought you might enjoy a glimpse of LA style.
this darling woman was considering this pillbox hat.
it suited her perfectly.
this woman was gorgeous. her mate wasn't that happy to have his pic taken but he did manage a small smile.
this pretty young woman was just too cute. she's wearing a vintage jacket and handbag.
her gold flats were cute too.
i'm sorry i didn't get a better pic of this outfit.
the seafoam top and yellow skirt are covered in sequins. she just glowed.
boots and sundresses and large handbags are very popular.
i don't know who this is but she was being interviewed and filmed.
chambray, skinny black pants and desert boots.
flowy maxi's were everywhere too.
ttyl.

this was fun to see!
ReplyDeletethanks, janet
what did YOU wear? ♥
i wore a hanes v-neck tshirt and a chambray skirt! very unimaginative but comfortable.
DeleteDid you get rid of that nasty commenter at the sale???
ReplyDeletehahha!
DeleteThat was fun to see....I have never been to a swap meet. Do you literally trade things or sell/buy? I think it would be tons of fun to ahve one amongst girlfriends in a home. We could trade clothes we were sick of:)
ReplyDeletethis is a HUGE sale. you really don't swap anything but everything is for sale.
Deleteyes janet, what did you wear?...
ReplyDeleteClearly anything goes these days.
How did your stuff sell?
i didn't even think to take my pic. i think almost everything alex took from me sold. except the vintage luggage didn't (i think.)
DeleteI really want to go up there!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised to see so many overweight people in LA-LA land.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - I love Los Angeles style. Maxis are really in this year. Been there, done that. Not for me, thank you.

I'd love to go to the Rose Bowl Flea Market.
ReplyDeleteWe have a small one here but there's rarely anything worth buying... mostly tools, old car parts and troll dolls!
I have never been to California, but I'd love to go to the Rose Bowl Swap Meet ! I have read about it and it sounds wonderful !
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us tag along with you! Love the boho vibe!
ReplyDeleteLaura
Funny how everyone looks like could be a star down that way - I would love to get down to that fair.
ReplyDeleteThe new Sartorialist.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, sunny California.... We had snow today!
ReplyDeleteSunshine and pretty girls, just how I image California to be! You spotted some gorgeous ladies, I love the boots in the third picture down. x
ReplyDeleteOh I love LA style! You really captured it in you photos. I go to a great swap meet at Fairfax High when I'm over the pond.
ReplyDeleteFun! Did you find any treasure? I love the Rose Bowl Swap Meet and I love your blog!

I would have loved to go there! Maxis are popular here to, but I'm not to crazy about them. I'm so short so it doesn't go with my shortness. lol
ReplyDeleteThat looked like fun. I haven't been to the Rose Bowl swap meet in ages.
ReplyDeleteTotally jealous. But you know that.

I'm there! Totally SoCal and in a great, unpretentious way.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. And even though I live in California, that SoCal thing is wholly foreign to me. We are really two different states, in a good way.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! We used to go to the Rose Bowl many, many years ago searching for inexpensive home decorating treasures. We'd go early, take the kids, who were in strollers back then, then go for brunch in Pasadena.
ReplyDeleteI live in LA but I've never been to this swap meet. Looks fun!

Hello Janet:
ReplyDeleteThe individuality of the fashion is so refreshing to see. People unafraid to experiment and to wear the extraordinary alongside the usual. Perfect! Oh, what a marvellous time we should have had just people watching all day long. And, were your sales successful?!!
I love swap meets. You never know what you will find and it's the thrill of the hunt! Great pics.
ReplyDeleteI love your commentary...you are so sweet and positive...utterly refreshing! Saving your finds for another post?
ReplyDeleteThat was fun, thanks for sharing! Here in the midwest we call those sales flea markets :)Hope you found some goodies!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. What a charming and refreshing report.
ReplyDeleteWe visited the rose bowl last week just to see it but left town before sunday. Wish we could have experienced the flea market, but thats why i visit your site...to experience vicariously!
ReplyDeleteOh my I was just there last weekend and found the most amazing wood & steel table/bench. My husband just finished staining the wood today and it is just stunning. I found so many wonderful
ReplyDeletethings there. It is always a treat to go to. Even worth the LONG line in traffic to get in.
Love your pics!
