BadWill Market: Gidget's First Pop Up

When I'm not focusing my energy into Gidget I produce an indie marketplace called BadWill Market. So far the event has been a great success. It was my third market and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. I like to draw the line and keep projects separate, but I thought it would be foolish to not have Gidget at this event! Below are some photos. 

I did minimal promotion for Gidget prior to the event, but I just had to put the logo on the loop video that was being played throughout the event! Check it out.

I didn't decide until 2 days before the event to have a booth at BadWill. So I made some quick tags at Kinkos. They are not my favorite, but they did the job.

Jene from Wear The Canvas was my neighbor at the market! She purchased two dresses from my booth and looks amazing in them!

A satisfactory photo of my clothing rack. I didn't really work on the presentation of my booth because I was busy running around and making sure everything else was running smoothly, but it will have to do!

What to Wear: Outdoor Wedding Attire

It's wedding season ladies! Even if you aren't the bride or in the wedding party, your outfit still matters and needs to make a great impression. Women often worry about what to wear to a wedding and fuss over the following details: Is the dress too formal or too casual? Is the dress too sexy? Is it appropriate? Is my dress going to bring too much attention? Are the colors suitable?

When you are picking a dress out for an outdoor summer wedding you need to consider being comfortable enough to move around and dance, staying classy, and avoiding the following colors such as solid whites, reds, and blacks. In our shop we have chosen the following dress options as proper wedding attire!


Bringing Up Baby Chiffon Dress- Stunning vintage 1920's- 30's drop waist dress. Great color, lightweight, and classic!

Little Darlin Roses Sweetheart Dress- 1980's dress with tiered skirt, sweetheart corset bodice. This dress is playful, dainty, and stylish.


Tulip Festival Halter Tiered Dress- Late 1970's, early 1980's halter tiered dress. Super cute floral print, and great silhouette. No need to over accessorize with this number. Just a pair of cute summer wedges and fun clutch!


Kelly Green Silk Dress- Not sure what year this dress is from, but it looks like a 1980's print with a 1950's dress pattern. Feels like 100% silk. Vibrant and a classic shape. Would look great with a cardigan, and pumps!

Press Love: Gidget on Daily Candy

Our first week open and we received our second piece of press! Thank you Daily Candy for the writeup. It's kind of been difficult visualizing whether Gidget will catch on, but I have faith eventually those orders will come rolling! We are starting from the ground up with this operation and trying to build a consumer base without having a prior following from Ebay, Etsy, Chictopia, or any other selling platform. So you can imagine how thankful I am when we get a little push from the power of the presses. Read the rest of the tidibit here. 

Get it Girl: Our Very First Mention on Curbed/ Seattle Racked

We got our very first mention today for Gidget on Curbed/ Seattle Racked. Such an honor to be sitting on the same bus as Capitol Hill Block Party. Read the mention below and the rest of the story here!


"Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee: Osiris Navarro of indie extravaganza Badwill Market fame and her sister Eunice have announced their intention to launch an online vintage marketplace called Gidget later this month on July 31. According to advance press on the project, Gidget will be stocked with “yesteryear’s style for today’s sweetheart,” an allusion to the character in the 1950’s girl-next-door Gidget movies originally played by actress Sandra Dee (followed by a perky, young Sally Field). Don’t expect only 1950’s inspired vintage here, though. Navarro promises “a variety of styles whether you're a pin-up babe, hippie bohemian, disco queen, glam starlett, punk rocker or a fly-girl.”

Coming Soon: Get With Gidget

There's A New Girl on the Block and her name is Gidget! Sit tight as we get things in order in preparation for our grand opening! We have over 100 unique vintage pieces we will debut with and continue to add inventory regularly. Stay tuned!
