Vintage and Thrift: Thrifting California

March 7, 2015

I had a great time visiting and experiencing some resale therapy in California but resale therapy in a different state is always interesting and also a great learning experience. I appreciate Ayana, the ThriftingDiva for making sure our visit was welcoming and fun.  My favorites were the vintage boutiques. If you look at my previous posts, you will see my experience from each boutique.  (1) Frock You Vintage (2) EA Vintage (3) Zoe’s Vintique   




Dressing Room Chronicles at Buffalo Exchange



I had to take a photo with Theo. LOL  I was big Malcolm Jamal Warner fan back in the day….

You will never guess who I saw while in San Diego…  Diana Ross

The resale stores in San Diego and Los Angeles are very organized.

Dress Room Chronicles– at Buffalo Exchange in San Diego

Ayana took us to the most amazing restaurants. This salmon and potato dish from Hash House A Go Go was delish!

San Diego appears to be big on clean eating. I would definitely live there with a smile.  I enjoyed Plumeria, as well. Great selections for vegans and vegetarian

I wish I took more photos while visiting It’s a Wrap.  It was an interesting store to visit.  The prices were pretty high but the thrill of finding a piece that was once worn by an actor/actress in movie or TV show is amazing.  My finds were from the View.  They were actually marked down. I spent a total of $9.00 in this store.  I was lucky!

Creative and tasty 😋 is how I can describe @doo Creative and tasty 😋 is how I can describe @doodlepiesroswell . You can stop by in the morning, afternoon or early evening to create your pie with a cup of coffee.

I started off with building my quiche. I kept it simple. I added spinach, mushrooms, eggs 🥚 and cheese. It was delicious 😋 But you can create something more exciting. So many fillings to choose from in order to create. 

For my sweet creative pie, I wanted something close to tasting like strawberry shortcake.  My pie was filled with berries and cream! I added a little sprinkle on top. It all takes less than 4 minutes to bake. 

And there is parking! I will be back with the Hubster on a creative tasty day date. 

If you’re in Roswell, stop by! You will thank me 😀 The owner, Eric is nice too.  Loved my experience.

My newest go to spot for brunch, ambiance and pati My newest go to spot for brunch, ambiance and patio seating is @postinowinecafe in Midtown, Atlanta.

I went to the Midtown location for the first time and I was blown away by the food, drinks, and the service. We got to sit out on the patio. The bruschetta was delicious! We got the perfect balance of sweet and savory with our choices. Definitely try the apple brie jam and the sweet & spicy with goat cheese! 

The shrimp 🍤 scampi was phenomenal. I topped off my brunch with some creme brulee. The cocktails were light, refreshing and perfect too! I will definitely be returning soon! 

Thank you @postinowinecafe and @nowchewthis for having me! #postinowinecafe #AtlantaFoodie #AtlantaBrunchSpots
