Inspiration From The Past // Madrigal // 1953

the bf got me a bunch of madrigal magazines via ebay. madrigal was a quite famous women life style magazine from france ( i suppose, you were able to get it in the most french speaking countrys). fashion didn't seemed to be the magazines main interest - each mag is filled with photo-love-stories - but the fashion pages in every magazine are totally inspiring. hope you enjoy.

Office Girl ... Turquoise And Green

 

it started to snow again this week ... maybe be cause of that i felt like wearing my ocean blue/turquoise cardi to the office ... cardi: primark // vintage skirt: my granny's old fav travel skirt // vintage belt: came  with a thrifted skirt // 90s booties: ebay // 40s bag: ebay // brooch: antique store ...

... the more colours you wear - the more springy you feel ... grass green cardi: h&m // dess: flea market // belt: old h&m // 90s booties: ebay // vintage bag: thrifted // hat: flea market ...

i'm off work for one tiny little week for holidays ... trying to meet some friends, family members, to do a little thrift shopping ... and sleeping, sleeping, sleeping. the upcoming months at work will be hard as hell! hopefully i don't have to spend my whole week off in the snow ...

Office Girl ... Two Times Something Red

it's all about the jacket ...  late 60s jacket: ebay (it came with a matching skirt - no synthetics, it's made from wool) // top: avanti // vintage skirt: thrifted // 60s/70s aigner belt: thrifted // vintage boots: ebay // vintage bag: charity shop ...

i call this look 'high street vintage' ... this outfit is not dedicated to an era. vintage and high street pieces are mixed together in a simple everyday look ... velvet blazer: thrifted // grey sweater: h&m // vintage skirt: flea market // vintage belt: thrifted // vintage boots: ebay // vintage aigner bag: flea market ...

Get Rid Of Your Gloves ...

since i started to take burlesque classes some years ago i'm not able to get off my gloves without a little teasing ... hehehe. ... vintage cardi: ebay // top: h&m // vintage skirt: thrifted // vintage aigner belt: thrifted // boots: buffalo // vintage hat: flea market // 50s gloves: ebay ... if you look closely: i'm wearing heels! this was the first time i went out with heels higher than 4 cm since i broke my foot.

What's New ...

 

 

 

here are some of my recent finds from vintage land ... pink cotton 1940s dress from ebay ... black & white atomic age print handmade dress from the 50s. i found it on ebay as well ... another great bargain is this black late 50s suit with a leopard spotted fur collar. the skirt is almost under knee length. sadly this suit is a little too big for me but i had to get it ... just as the suit i found these biker lace-up boots at my fav thrift store in town. i can't wait to wear them at warmer days with some cowgirl outfits.
 - for all the finds together i had to spent just 57,50€.
