Good Bye 2012 and hello 2013! This year, instead of making new year resolutions that I can't seem to keep, I've decided to stick to one single goal, which is be appreciative of the little things around me. That includes reminding myself to give thanks and think positive.  We all have so much to be thankful for.  For me, I am thankful for my health, having a supportive family and being able to wake up every morning and do what I love! To show my appreciation, I would like to kick off the fashionable year with our first giveaway!  I am happy to be giving away the Hannah crossbody (color gray)! It's one of our popular bags because of its half moon shape and  versatility!  With a detachable shoulder strap and roomy zip pockets it's the perfect bag that can take you from casual to dressy!  Simply leave a comment BELOW by January 27 telling us which pieces on Mei Vintage website are your favorites, including what to wear with them! We will be drawing O...

This is the place to find everything from obscure pieces of furniture to a vintage dress!  It happens the second Sunday of every month.  This place is HUGE so be prepared to walk alot and wear comfortable shoes! It was a super hot sunday in Pasadena.  It was at least 100 degrees so I decided to cut my adventure short and spent most of my time at the antique section of the flea market.  To my surprise, I was super excited to find a lady that was selli...
