We got back a week or so ago from our big acquisition trip to California. We went to find a new wholesaler for the store because our New York City connection is just too far away. We also went to check out the Rose Bowl flea market. It was completely insane!

While we were there Liz got stopped by an ELLE Magazine online photographer that was featuring different girls at the flea market. Click on the following photo to check out the little feature on Liz. COOL!
