The Yello Door & 111 Minna

Last night I was off to 111 Minna, an art gallery and bar, to see the opening of an art show which featured work by my good friend Billy Sprague. This is a photo of my friend Amanda and I looking our best!

Shark's Vintage Love


When I decided I was going to begin blogging about fashion, style, vintage stores, and diy/handmade clothing it seemed natural for me to feature my favorite shopping spots. In the near future expect to see stories on my favorite east bay thrift stores, swap meets, vintage stores, shops with handmade goods, and yard/garage sale finds. But for my christening voyage I'm clearly Featuring SHARK'S VINTAGE in Berkleley.



This is one of my East Bay faves! With dozens of cowboy boots and a nice selection of vintage shoes from the 40's to the 80's how could you go wrong? But footwear isn't the only thing worth checking out at Shark's! It's full to the brim with all kinds of vintage finds. Some of my most notable finds include a short white nike tennis dress with blue and red stripes down the front and a pink calico prairie skirt. I also coveted a vintage speedo swimsuit at the beginning of summer that I somehow avoided running in and grabbing during my breaks from work for weeks!




So if you like good quality, inspired, and eclectic vintage shopping hit up this favorite of mine!
