Botanical Garden

 

 

 

 ... the botanical garden is the fav place in the city i life and work in ... this beautiful garden is the perfect spot to wear my new vintage dress ... 1930s/40s dress: schwarze truhe berlin // sandals: flohmarkt markthalle berlin // vintage straw bag: ebay ... next ot the garden is the castle ... this time covered with pretty cool art ...

Stripes & Dots ...

 

 ... holiday girl in dots and stripes ... this is what i wore for thrift shopping yesterday ... vintage top: thrifted // vintage skort: thrifted (skorts are great ... especially this one, because it looks like a real skirt but it's still a short) // vintage belt: flea market // shoes: ked's // vintage bag: flea market // bangles: flea markets and thrifted ...

the bf and i are back from berlin/home town/mama town-tour and now we are on a short visit at the town i live in ... yesterday i had to see the orthopedist and luckily i don't have to see him again. i'm still walking a little funny but the foot is getting better and better ... after the doctor we went on a littel thrift tour and we found some nice pieces again ... in an upcoming post i will show you some of my favourite bargains we found on several flea markets and thrift or vintage stores during traveling over germany.

Non-Sleeve Dress ...

... still in berlin ... this is what i wore today ... my fav vintage square dance dress: ebay // belt: came with a non-vintage skirt //  sandals: flea market at markthalle, berlin (2 €) // straw bag: flea market ..

as some of you may remember this dress had got a big bad rip in the right sleeve last summer ...(last winter) i had to bring to the tailor and it felt like bringing it to the hospital for a big surgery ... but the tailor did a good job fixing it and i was able to wear it after 'the surgery' ... but then it happened again  ... suddenly there was another huge rip next to the replaced part in the sleeve. this time the tailor told my, that the fabric of the sleeves is far too brittle to fix it again. so the only chance to save my dress was to remove the sleeves. it took me months to do it ... but finally some weeks ago, i cut them off.  

what do you think about my new old dress ?

yesterday we went to the flea market. we've been quite lucky - even when it started raining - we found some nice pieces at neukölln's flowmarkt (later we went to flohmarkt at markthalle kreuzberg). to be true, i felt a little bit shocked about the prices. things like dresses and skirts are so expensive here in berlin - especially on flea markets ... markets at the countryside are much cheaper! so i decided to buy more bags and less dresses ... hahahaha.

Opel Rekord

 

... i'd wish this car could be mine ... vintage dress: ebay // vintage belt: came with a skirt // vintage hat: pony hütchen secondhand, berlin (bought it on thursday) // studded flats: thrifted  ...

yesterday we found this amazing opel rekord from the early/mid 70s standing next to mine. i remember my grand parents had one like this when i was a child ...

tomorrow we want to go to one of berlin's sunday flea markets ... i still can't decide which one i prefer ... mauerpark flohmarkt or flowmarkt in neukoelln ... hopefully the weather will be as great as today ...

Holidays ...

... this is is what i wore before i left for holidays ... vintage 70s dress: flea market (3€) // vintage belt: flea market // morocco bag: flea market // sandals: no name ...

... this is a work day outfit from the past few weeks i forgot to post ... 50s day dress: ebay // vintage belt: flea market // sandals: no name // another 50s straw bag: ebay ... oh, look at the curls, there were almost gone after work ...

hello, out there! sorry for the little lack of posts but i'm on holidays and the bf and i are traveling around germany ... we spend some days at my mum's home and celebrated my 35th birthday there. we made some great tours with the car: we saw a lot of vineyards, old castles and chateaus close to the river rhein, ate some great stuff, drank some great wine ...  yesterday we arrived in berlin ... we went to see a friends concert, had some cheap and yummy indian lunch, did some thrift shopping. 

next time i will post some pictures about our little tour de germany ... have a great upcoming weekend.
