Nothing says "Easter" like some quality thrifting!
I spent a good chunk of my weekend either working on an upcoming assignment or taking a work break at my friendly Northern Virginia thrift stores… and also taking a lot of wrong turns trying to drive to my friendly Northern Virginia thrift stores. How many times can one drive past the Lincoln Memorial before it gets a little old? I'm at about six times, and I still get a kick out of it, fortunately.
Anyway, I'll recap my vintage booty soon enough, but in the meantime, can I just say how I now have to carefully scour every thrift store's children's book section, in the hopes of finding a copy of Henri's Walk to Paris? It's illustrated by legendary graphic designer Saul Bass and the gorgeously colorful pages got seriously stuck in my head after I saw it on Design*Sponge earlier this month.
Sadly, no copies have yet to be miraculously discovered.

hi street style friend
i am glad to tell you that after 201 street style photo romances in Paris, i've been proposed to create a press magazine about street styles from the world.
50 000 copies in Paris, then...
My own vision is to humanize fashion through street style photo romances.
Now, I have to create a network of passionated blogs for the content
I'll be glad to exchange links for helping me (collaborating ?) to show that fashion comes from street and style gives personality.
I'll be so happy to make it a successful magazine to launch it after in other countries with other collaborators.

Thank you for your collaboration
best regards

I love the first drawing. I find the color combination so happy and the quote so true!
So true about being lost in DC! After enough wrong turns, it can seem like the monuments are personally mocking me. Stupid monuments.
(I have been very, very, very lost.)
I definitely agree with you about the Dwell @ Target...I actually made a bunch of pillows from the cotton towels and napkins, and everyone loves them! I posted a few pics on my blog! I also sold a few on Etsy...
The immortal, wonderful, perfect, genius Saul Bass. My hero.
May I ask which are your favorite Northern Virginia thrift stores?
Check out library sales for Henri. I've found 2 copies like that for $0.25 each time! Sold them for $100s online (I'm a bookseller). AWESOME BOOK! A signed copy just went on eBay for $1500 or so.
Oh my goodness, these are wonderful. Thanks for sharing - I'm on the lookout.
