Where Are You From? - Print

This is what I wore before the summer cold hit Germany ... 50s cotton dress: eBay // belt: Primark // crotcheted purse: flea market (H&M) // wedge sandals: old Gabors ...

I love this dress, even if it is a little too roomy for me ... but it is the perfect summer dress for me and I adore it's print. Has anyone an idea from which country this kind of pattern might be? I call this dress my Mexican dress although I know that it's not Mexican .... The colours remind somehow on the mexican pieces my grandparents brought me from Mexico when i was a kid ...

I was so excited when I found a vintage loving friend selling on Mauerpark Flohmarkt some weeks ago. Her style is absolutely adorable (here). She was selling mostely modern vintage does 40s and 50s clothes but I already had picked out some lovely pieces when I noticed that she was selling some hats out of her stellar vintage hat collection. So I had to hang all the clothes back and left happily smiling with no money but with three new to me 40s-50s hats. I swooned over this straw hat so many times when I met my friend on her flea market strolls ... so I still can't believe, that this adorable hat is now living in my little but growing hat collection.

Every Skirt Tells A Story ... English Grammar Skirt

It is already a while a go, when I wore this outfit ... but finally it made it to the blog ... top: Primark // 60s novelty skirt: Made In Berlin/Kleidermarkt // vintage belt: thrifted // modern sandals // wicker purse: flea market ...

Isn't this skirt fun?! Grammar! Why isn't modern fashion not that fun anymore?! In the future I will show more close ups of my novelty printed pieces. Those marvelous treasure deserve a close look, because all these prints tell a little a story ...

Normally I don't leave to many words here ... if you like to read a little more about the lady behind this little vintage blog - that's me -  head over to wonderful Chronically Vintage. The lovely Jessica and I had quite a chat about vintage fashion, the bloggosphere and the German Vintage Scene. 

Thank you so much, Jessica - I had a blast to answer all these questions!

Two Years Ago

Tomorrow is our second wedding aniversary ... As it is a day before our wedding today, I post pictures that were taken right before the marriage ceremony. I was wearing a late 40s lace dress and a late 50s head piece - the future husband wore my grand fathers tuxedo from the late 70s ... So tomorrow we plan to spend our aniversary going out for dinner and just doing things we love. ...

Warmer Days - Colder Days

A warmer day this early summer I wore this ... 40s crepe dress: eBay // vintage belt: thrifted // modern shoes: gift from my mum // 50s wickerpurse: thrifted  ...

On a colder sunday this summer i decided to go with layers ... 50s-60s coat: eBay (came as a suit) // vintage bouclé blazer: thrifted // t-shirt: H&M // vintage pants: eBay // shoes: flea market // vintage gobelin purse: flea market // rose jewelery set: Chronically Vintage ...

This summer is not so bad but if we talk about sunny days ... but sadly it's not very consistent if it comes to the temperature!!! There were already days I was sweating my ass off - and the next day felt like fall has accidentally arrived already. Right now, I'm freezing ... Wearing my cozy winter sweater, I normally wear in January - but the difference is, I wear it with shorts ...

Kermit's Jacket

... Romeo Gigli blazer: thrifted // 90s does 40s dress: thrifted // modern shoes // early 60s raffia purse: eBay // 50s hat: eBay // 50s handmade cherry brooch: flea market ...

I found this little blazer a couple of months ago at a local thrift shop. I notices the amazing quality and wonderfil silky soft fabrics it is made of ... I didn't recognized that it it a actual designer piece. As it's not true vintage it does a perfect job  worn with mid century styles. I wore it a lot the last weeks. Everytime I put it on I have to think about Kermit the Frog ... Sometimes it's not so bad to be green.

Sunglasses At Night

 Modern cardi: don't remeber // 40s cotton day dress: Rocking Chair, Berlin // vintage belt: thrifted // modern sandals: gift from my mum // wicker purse: flea market // 50s souvenir pin: Veist Kleidergeschichten, Berlin

This outfit is from a while ago ... but I didn't want to waist it, even if the lighting is a little shitty here ...

Summer For Everyone

... Top: Primark // 50s skirt: eBay // vntage belt: thrifted // flats: Primark // 50s wicker purse: eBay // 50s straw hat: eBay // 60s wine glass brooch, 50s ear clips: flea market // bamboo bangles: thrifted in the USA ...

This is what I wore to the flea market almost two weeks ago, when I snapped up some of the hats from the last post ... It was the perfect early summer day. I`d wish every day would be like this sunday. 

It's already late  - so I leave you and go to bed. See you soon!

Getrödelt, Gefunden, Gefreut ... Hüte En Masse

20s-30s straw cord hat, lovely condition ...

Light grey 40s-50s hat. I really struggle with how to wear it ... but it's details are totally adorable!

1950s slim turban style hat ... Perfect for colder days!

Grey hat with feather from the 50s ... originally it is darker.

I suppose it's a 40s-50s straw hat. My favoutite!

Colourful pointy straw hat from the 30s-40s. I have to remove the icky feather ...

Willkommen im Monat Juni und einer neuen Runde Getrödelt, Gefunden, Gefreut! Wie man schon an dem Bildermarathon sehen konnte, war der Mai der Monat der Hüte für mich. Zwei ganz schlichte aber tolle Hüte und einen asiatischen Sonnenhut habe ich hier noch nicht mal dokumentiert, da sie auf dem etwas zu zierlichen Dekokopf echt doof aussehen. (Alle Hüte sehen hier ein wenig überdeminsioniert aus, da der Dekokopf ca. 15% kleiner ist als ein echter Damenkopf)

Alle hier gezeigten Kopfbedeckungen habe ich auf diversen Berliner Flohmärkten gefunden und habe irgendwas zwischen 3-15-22 €uro gezahlt. 

Die beiden grauen Hüte und das gestreifte Strohkäppchen habe ich vergangene Woche bei einer Vintage-Liebenden Freundin ergattert, die ich zufällig hinter einem Verkaufsstand, in einer Masse atemberaubender Dinge angetroffen hatte. Ihre Hutsammlung bewundere ich schon seit langem und ich ließ alles andere stehen und liegen als ich die Hüte sah! Da ich nicht genügend Geld bei mir hatte, mußte ich sogar ein paar andere Kopfbedeckungen ungekauft lassen.

Die kleine Strohkappe aus den 20er-30er Jahren habe ich am sogenannten Riesen Flohmarkt am Ostbahnhof am 1. Mai gefunden. Ich bin immer noch ganz erstaunt, wie gut erhalten sie ist. Der Trödler meinte, sie käme von einer alten Dame, dort hatte sie für Jahrzehnte im Schrank in einer Hutschachtel gessessen.

Den bunten Strohhut aus den späten 30ern, frühen 40ern habe ich bei einem der professionellen Flohmarkthändler im Mauerpark entdeckt. Er war in einem historischen Puppenwagen versteckt und wurde wohl für einen Puppenhut gehalten, da der Hutkörper eigentlich zu klein erscheint, wenn man nicht weiß, wie sowas getragen wurde. Das war mein Glück und so wurde er meins. Ich bin ganz begeistert von seinen Farben! Es wurde leider irgendwann mal eine überhaupt nicht passende Blumen-Feder-Deko an ihn angebracht - die muß dringend weg.

Ach, nicht zu vergessen, dieser 50er Stroh-'Tilt'-Hut hat auch im Mai zu mir gefunden - war aber auch schon mit einem Outfit dokumentiert worden ... 

Laber-Rababer ... viel mehr kann ich u den Hüten nicht erzählen ... aber mal gucken, über was sich die anderen Trödel-Mädels und -Jungs so im Mai gefreut haben...

Getrödelt, Gefunden, Gefreut

Short English Recap: In the past month I was lucky to find quite a few vintage hats on the flea markets in town. There are even 5 hats not shown here! I spent something between 3-15-22€ on each of them. Past sunday when I found a vintage loving friend selling some of her treasures I had to leave some hats behind, because I ran out of money!!!!
