Somehow I've been home from Las Vegas for
three weeks (!!!) and I've yet to blog the photos from on the floor! In case you missed it, here was
my Las Vegas + MAGIC recap post, as well as
my MAGIC Haul post! (You can also see me rocking some pretty pieces from MAGIC in
this outfit post!) Anyway, here are some better quality images of what could be seen around the way. I've already admitted my focus was a bit limited to what I truly loved as a consumer, but goodness MAGIC is
crazy! There are so many people and so many booths and
so many bags! People will just hand you bag as you walk by and you'll end up looking like a coat rack by the end of the first sweep. I've got bags in bags in bags
in bags! I know they'll come in handy though so keep 'em coming!
I mainly photographed booths I absolutely adored (both for product style and booth setup) but there are so many I missed because I was too busy chatting up a storm! Ah! Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to venture back to MAGIC one day and I'll be more prepared! Here's a little bit of what I saw on the floor...
BETTIE PAGE
The girls at Bettie Page were stunning, stylish and oh so sweet! I had such a wonderful time chatting with Carla, Jillian, and the other BP gals. They each had such fabulous hair and makeup, and their outfits were just the icing on the cake. Their booth was overflowing with new dress styles that are currently making their way onto the website. I've already mentioned once that I'm so excited for the new Bettie Page store in Nashville, but sadly I didn't make it over on Saturday! It's at the top of my o do list once we return from North Carolina though! --
A few favorite styles currently on their site: this navy "alika" dress,
this red "megan" dress, and
this polka dot "malibu blue" dress (!!!)
This little booth was by far the cutest of the show! I loved the 1950's cafe setup and it reminded me so much of our own kitchen! The light fixture and chrome detailing on the walls were too cute! During my first jaunt around to Trashy Diva I met
Mallory, one of the sweet gals working the booth. She said she reads my blog so we chatted and took some pictures together! I ended up pulling
the most amazing rocketship dress from TD to showcase on my "Discovery" panel during the week and I've seriously had dreams about that dress since. The print is unreal! I want to travel down to New Orleans to check out the TD shops myself, but until then I'll just drool over the insane collection of dresses online! --
A few of my favorite Trashy Diva pieces include: the Annette rocketship dress (plus the previously linked Trixie!),
this red and yellow number, and
this solid yellow dress! (I could easily link the whole site but I'll save you the carpal tunnel!)
This booth was such a happy one to stumble across! I was immediately drawn in by all of the pinups on the items and quickly I found a new favorite shop! One of my very favorite things in their booth was
the vintage-styled flasks that were made to look like milk, oil, soup, gasoline, etc! I need to place an order for sure haha -- A few favorite pieces:
the entire metal sign section (these would look great in our 50's diner kitchen!),
this motor oil flask, and
this Buick compact!
I ended up with so many photos from the HM booth because I wrote a MAGIC Guestbook post on them, but seriously - look at all of that stuff! Their booth was overflowing with adorable items that would be
so perfect for gifts! The bulldog hanger made me miss Georgia haha I have a collection of novelty cheeseburger items and this booth did me in! Everything from wallets to onesies and knit hats! I also wanted every single one of the coffee mugs. The icing on the cake? Everything is so reasonably priced! I didn't know this until I got home and stalked their website, but I'm seriously so impressed! -- A few favorite pieces from Hollywood Mirror:
this cheeseburger mug (boom! two collections in one!),
this hot dog headband (WAT?!), and
these finger pens!
Last but certainly not least, Beach Bash! I shared
my BB dress in an outfit post on Friday, and I have so many other goodies to work into the blog over the next little while. BB is like a sister company to Bettie Page (Artem runs BB and is the son of Tatyana from BP! Fun fact!) and they do a lot of gorgeous retro-inspired swimwear pieces. I took one of the mint polka dot two pieces to my swimwear Discovery session and I also borrowed one of their parasols to show off! I can't wait for all of these great pieces to make their way onto the BB website, that's for sure. -- Here are a few of my favorite pieces on the current site:
this cherry dress (that little tie at the collar!),
this red and white polka dot dress,
this "sailor bow" blouse!
And that's just a small handful of the booths I drooled over at MAGIC! I can't believe I didn't take more photos of Hell Bunny, Unique Vintage, or PinUp Girl Boutique! I'm sure I'll be making my way around each of their sites soon though... you won't be escaping my lust list haha!
I think I've finally started catching up with all of my backed up work since getting home from MAGIC in Las Vegas. My inbox is almost back to normal and I'm feeling pretty good about that! I definitely miss hanging out with everyone though. Thanks for letting me share my Vegas adventures with ya! MAJOR thanks goes out to Stylesmith and MAGIC for having me!
