Randolph Street Market Festival Recap

Hello Lovelies! I hope you all enjoyed your extended weekend (here in the U.S.)! I certainly did! One of the highlights of my weekend was hanging out at the Randolph Street Market Festival on Saturday morning! There were tons of vendors selling everything from jewelry to furniture! I always enjoy looking at vintage items, but there were pieces from many amazing local designers at this event, too! Here are some photos I snapped while looking around.


I loved these necklaces by local jewelery artist, Broad Street. Check out the website, or if you're interested in buying, visit the etsy store. 
This fabulous trench was created by local fashion designer, Anna Fong. Anna is a rising star in the fashion industry, which came as no surprise after browsing her latest collection. Check out her website for more lovely selections.
Another Anna Fong design. I love the elegant simplicity of this dress. The ever so slight train in the back also won my heart.
My friend, Rebecca, modeling a ring made of the back of a watch face. Unfortunately, I can't remember the designer.
Some fun necklaces also made of old watch parts.
This was the largest assortment of beads I've ever seen in one place! I was hoping to find a necklace like the one I was drooling over at the Chicago Modern Vintage event, but no such luck.
Although the idea of biking in Chicago has always sent chills down my spine (I know several people who have been hit by cars while riding), I couldn't get enough of these brightly colored, vintage inspired bicycles! I wanted to take one home in every color!
Since I'm still on a tight budget, the only thing I bought was this beaded bracelet for $8. I love the colors and definitely have several outfits that this will go with perfectly!
I really enjoyed this market, and am looking forward to attending again in June! I also met several fun, local bloggers which I will tell you about very soon! If you live near Chicago or plan to visit sometime between now and November, be sure to check out the Randolph Street Market schedule and plan your trip accordingly. This really is an amazing festival, so if you ever have the chance, I highly recommend you attend. Have a happy Tuesday!

    Tara I could not market Randolph Street Market better myself! You captured what makes it special -it's that mix of flea market finds with high styled, in vogue one of a kind designer pieces. You have great taste and really understand the whole idea behind Modern Vintage. Thanks for doing such a great job documenting the merchandise and being with us for our rain soaked opener. June it is, another Happy Hour & early shopping,just for the Bloggers :)
