Before the rain and cold weather rolls in, I do one of my favorite things as much as possible; gallivant through flea markets. 

I love thrifting and a great flea market provides hours of thrift driven fun.  You find unique, often times one of a kind items that don't break the bank.  That's what we call a win-win situation my friends.

Last weekend I went to one of my hot spots; the Almany Flea Market.  It's in San Francisco in Bernal Heights, open every Sunday and I find amazing items every time I go there.

I tried on everything under the sun but at that end of the day I left the flea with two outstanding accessories.  The first is a buttery soft, leather 'corset' cuff for $10.  It's a piece that stands out with whatever you wear and it's a WAY better price point than the one I had my eye on in a department store for $50 bucks.  The second was a simple gold, chain necklace with a detailed clasp that is the focal point of the piece.  I have worn it six different ways since I got it. 

So this weekend, google your local flea, find your local flea and get to thrifting! Let me know how it goes...I love a great flea story:-)
