Happy Fleamarket

I spent a lot of beautiful hours on a fleamarket in my hometown. The weather showed all it's friendliness by making the weekend sunny and enjoyably warm.
I've never been to this market before, because I always missed the date. A lot of people had told me, this market would be one of the best in my hometown. So I was very excited to go there.
It was much smaller then I had expected it... but very nice.
I found two gorgeous leather bags, three belts, a small dark blue purse, a skirt with small flowers, two fantastic bracelets and two 80s blazers. One of them was woren as confirmation-jacket. It looks like a boy's school-uniform.
The second one reminds me a bit of Victoria Beckham's sharp shoulder padded blazers from balmain... I decided to remove the pads, because my shoulders are to straight to wear 'big-shoulders'. On the foto above, you see the blazer before I changed it. The boy's jacket already left it's shoulder pads, too. The bracelet I found is one of the most beautiful trinkets I've ever seen. It's colours and floral desing looks adorable. I love it! It's much prettier in reallity. The picture seems to be a little blurred, I'm sorry!
I think, I can call myself quite successful by getting my hands on all the nice goods. Can't wate to wear all this stuff....

What To Wear On A Fleamarket...

There has been a nice fleamarket on friday to saturday in my hometown... Visiting a fleamarket makes me always thing about comfi and useful outfits... Wearing heels don't make sence because you are walking too much ( lucky you out there running around for hours in heels without feeling some pains)... You need shoes you can slip in and out easily, if you want to try on shoes... Balancing on one feet while you are trying to close the straps of your 10-laces-heels isn't funny.

In addition to handy shoes you need to wear clothes that are thin enough to pull shirts, dresses, skirts - or anything you need to fit - over it. I don't buy pants very often, for this reason I don't need to pull something under. (You shouldn't wear a skort if you like to buy a pant...)
Both outfits aren't very flashy but quite seviceable...They did a good job!

Saturdays Experience... The Skirt Is A Short!

Is someone out there who could tell me the english word for 'a skirt that isn't a skirt but a pant with wide legs' ?
Leo.org couldn't find an english translation for german: 'Hosenrock'.
Thanks for your pleasant help!

Getting Better...

romper: thrifted // blazer: zara // leggins: zara // belt: h&m // wedges: new yorker // bag: fleamarket // bracelet and necklace: fleamarket // brooch: hippie market, rio
I'm sorry but I wasn't feeling better this weekend. After i had written the post on saturday I took my temperature... and it rose over 38,5°... I had to spend some more days in bed suffering, watching dumb-TV all day or dreaming scary fever-dreams.
Today is the day I restarted work, even though I don't feel very healthy again. But if i stayed in bed any longer, I would have burned down some TV stations (or just demolished the TV itself).
...
As promised I present an outfit I shot before work and illness capured my life.

Lack Of Posts

I'm very sorry for the lack of posts.
A heart breaking trouble at work was killing all my time during the last days. If this wasn't enough, I got a bad cold and fever...
Now - writing a small post - is the first time I left the bed since thurstday. I still feel quite limp and my head is still buzzing.
But this weekend I hope I will find enough energy to present some outfits from the days before the worry ate up all my fashion inspiration.
But now I have to crawl back into my bed... sorry!

Tagged!!!

I've been tagged by graciously zoe to do a short Q&A Here are the rules :
1. Respond and rework; answer the question on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your invention, add more one question of your own. 2. Tag eight other people.
What is your current obsession ?
Coconut cream, hhmmmm.
And visiting fleamarkets in the morning sun...
What are you wearing today ?
Please, look at the post above...
What's for dinner ?
Three colored pasta with fresh spinaci and gorgonzola.
What are you listening to right now ?
Elastica, it's a so-called 'brit pop' band from the middle of the nineties. I don't listen very often to this band nowadays but i love it. It's nice and girly indie music.
Name three favourite fashion blogs. Why do you love them?
the alteration - An amazing mix of flashy vintage and thrilling highstreet pieces.
keiko lynn - She has a stunning vintage style... and the most beautiful make up!
strawberry kittens playground - Germanys best color and pattern mixing fashionblogger. Good to have you back!!!
What's your must have pieces for winter?
I don't think much about winter fashion this time. Their are reams of summer dresses waiting in my wardrobe ...
What's your favorite vintage/fleamarket find?
There are a lot of fantastic beloved vintage finds in my closet... My cream colored lace up wedges made by Pollini?! Or my black suede uplace booties from Pierre Cardin?!
I think my most favorite fleamarket piece is my pair of silver flats. I bought them on the local fleamarket and I wear them a lot for several years.
If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go ?
New York. Shop till you drop... at Beacon's Closet! It's nearly six years ago when I went there to visti my best friend. She was living in Brooklyn for several months.
Which language do you want to learn ?
Brasilian portuguese. My boyfrind is from Rio de Janeiro... I'm able to order my dish or drink at the restaurant or buy fruits or juices at the market... but it's not possible to have a real conversation with me.
What are your favorite quotes ?
'Fehler im Aussehen entstehen, weil viele das tragen, was sie meinen tragen zu müssen, und nicht das, was sie tragen möchten.' Karl Lagerfeld
'Es ist schon alles gesagt, nur noch nicht von allen.' Karl Valentin
Sorry, I'm a german girl, so I do have german quotes!
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own closet ?
I can't answer this question offhanded... There are a lot of pieces i love... some of them for years others because they're new and thrilling to me.
One of my faves is a black vintage dress with white stripes, very small white dots and delicate details at the top. It's skirt is pretty much flared... (ckeck it out: I was wearing it on march 17)

What is your dream job?Dream jobs are never what you espect. I gave up my first dream job, because it stopped being that faboulos and dreamy. I loved doing the work but I started hating the people I had to work with...

Any favorite models?I'm not that intrested in models... I just want to know what they wear....But I like good old Kate Moss. She's a rock n roll chick...

Favorite designer ?
Wunderkind by Wolfgang Joop is very visionary... And I love the early designs from Viktor & Rolf. They were unwearable but stunning. Models wearing their hair draped over pillows they were carrying on their shoulders. ...
What do you consider a fashion faux pas ?
People loosing their own identity while wearing everything that's 'in fashion'.
I also dislike people wearing simple jeans & t-shirt paired with sneakers...it's so boring...
But, I talk about style not the person itself.
Describe your personal style ?
Vintage, vintage, vintage... I don't know.
I don't like to describe my style - I prefer to show it - while wearing pieces i like to wear.
What's the most expensive fashion item you've ever purchased?
It's my LV Trocadero. I bought it on ebay. But it's too small, I don't use it at all.
What can you never leave the house without?
Paper tissues. Yes.

Ebay: Shoe Shopping

image via vintageherz
I went a little shoe shopping on ebay the last days. Yesterday was my fortunate day.
I was searching for blue shoes for months but i didn't found the right ones. When I found a pair I really liked, i couldn't find the right size. At least it was regardless of which sort or style they were... booties, heels, sandals, flats... just blue.
Last weekend I found this nice pair of blue and turquoise 80s pumps at an ebay shop called vintageherz. I don't know if these pumps will help me out of my blue-shoe-disaster ...but they're too flashy for not owning them.
At vintageherz you can find a big collection of boots, pumps and sandals from the past decades. Don't be confused, if you visit this shop at present you will find some vintage teddy bears aswell.

While i was looking for anything blue i stepped over a pair of 60s lace pumps. I fell in love with their snakeskin style instantly. And - I got my hands on them aswell!
I hope both pairs are going to arrive as soon as possible... and I hope they are fitting right.
