Working at a vintage shop definitely has it's perks.Being surrounded by great vintage finds, unique Crooklynites and bubbly out-of-towners has forced me to snap away and document their fierce and fabulous flair.

We Snap Well:)

This weekend I felt like what Ms. Bodega likes to call, VERY snap happy! After a busy and exhausting week, I hung out and enjoyed Crooklyn! I'm not the best at taking flicks or going out all the time, but since I bought a new camera I've really been able to look at Crooklyn from truly another view. I took flicks of friends and "new friends" of Crooklyn Chronicles and I shared interesting conversations, ran into people I did and didn't want to see... All in all taking in the air and enjoying the weekend was amazing. Love u Taneka and Sacchi!!!!!...


Guess what?!, You can all catch me at Not Just Vintage on Sundays helping the ladies out! My first Sunday there was amazing, Lamonica is hilarious and so creative! And Maya the funny business women with the adorable chuckle is just too cute. Shout out to Not Just Vintage customers who are very stylish and sweet. Another shout out to Lenyice and Zakiya at Bushbaby, Al aka Minority Reporter for stopping by and letting us finally figure out what camera he really has! Miriah from San Francisco and her dope ducktape wallet creation. My girl Shantelle aka Ladybug over at Harriet's, Melissa S. from Yume:) and Suzanne from
