shop small saturday
I talk a lot about big name stores – and with good reason, they’re offering up some pretty great deals right now – but as a designer and life long lover of vintage, shopping ‘small’ is something I hold near and dear to my heart. Whether it be traveling or just exploring new neighborhoods in LA I always try and stop into little local shops. And since it happens to be Shop Small Saturday, I thought I’d share a round up of some of my favorite vintage sources, handmade gems, and independent boutiques available online. So this holiday season – don’t forget the little guys. And I’d love to hear your favorites so I can add them to my list!
I’m with you on the shop small train. As much as I do enjoy big name stores, there’s something about shopping in small boutiques and rummaging through antique and vintage shops that is so wonderful too.
Exactly! It just feels more special when you’ve found it that way 🙂
