Melrose Trading Post is one of our city's top flea market gems. Nearly every Sunday, we make it a point to swing by Fairfax High School's parking lot to peruse MTP's vintage treasures and scout for potential Street Scenes stars. The place is brimming with inspiration, so you can imagine our excitement when we recently stumbled upon their equally stimulating Pinterest boards.

From snaps of Melrose Fashion (local blogstar like Karla Deras makes a cameo) to Only in LA moments (did you know that Taylor Swift visited MTP last year?), we're hooked. Click through the gallery for some of our favorite Pins thus far.
