Visual Diary part 2 : Topanga Canyon and Long beach vintage shopping edition

Visual Diary part 2 the vintage shopping edition

So far this trip has been pretty magical vintage shopping wize, the amount of vintage shops we visited is insane! I started to develop a pretty nice collection of stuff to bring back with me to Montreal as seen in the last photos of this post. These are two places we visited one up in the mountains in Topanga Canyon, it was so pretty and warm up there, I really wanted to go because I herd about it in a John Phillips song called "Topanga Canyon" in the song it seems so dreamy and perfect so we drove up the winding hills and held our breaths to find this amazing vintage shop called Hidden Treasures. I scored 2 70s cheerleader sweaters my latest obsession and a pink lace jacket.

An other place we really liked was Long beach, we visited this little strip of vintage shops all in a row, kind of like here in Montreal and New York, my favorite shop was this huge one at the end of the street, I don't remember the name but it had so much good stuff, but I did not get anything there, I felt to overwhelmed by all the amazing vintage. Stéphane got himself a Loretta Lynn lp for a great price.

How cute! I love the horsey sweater! I hope those jeans didn't come with a vintage dumdum pop haha.

Oh, the red cheerleader sweater is a wonderful find. How will you get all of this home? Did you bring or buy an extra suitcase?

So many great finds, I love the yellow cheerleader sweater and the polka-dotted Converse.
Topanga Canyon looks amazing from the photos too.

Wow
I would have felt like i was in heaven.
I adore vintage shopping but the trend where I live is almost non existant :( and there are no shops that sell these items and most people throw everything away.
