My (not so) Secret NY Vintage Hotspots

Hell's Kitchen flea market
I've just returned from a quick trip accross the pond with a suitcase bursting at the seams full of amazing new pieces which I'll be posting on here soon.

Now, I NEVER give away my sourcing secrets, but as NY is almost 3000 miles away from me I suppose I'll let you in on a couple. So, for any of you vintage lovers heading to NY you should make sure to visit my favorite spot, the Hell's Kitchen flea market on 39th x 9th. This market is a vintage lovers delight. It's so great that I spent my entire budget here before I could go anywhere else! Not only do they have amazing clothing, they also have the most gorgeous homewares and bric-a-brac which thankfully I couldn't fit into my suitcase otherwise I would have spent a small fortune.

If you're slightly more restrained than me and manage to save money to go elsewhere, be sure to visit the plethora of flea markets throughout Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Flea http://www.brooklynflea.com/ is particularly notable. And if you stroll down Bedford Avenue, which is worth a visit in itself,  you'll see signs here and there directing you to various different fleas. There really are far too many others to mention throughout Brooklyn and I have to keep some of my secrets to myself! But if you have a wander you're bound to stumble accross a treasure trove along the way. Just be prepared to blow the budget though, the vintage delights in NY are far too good not to!
