Rouge!

This is my lovely and very red vintage skirt. I bought it weeks ago and I've been experimenting a bit with it. It's quite incredible, because it's got a perfect length, by the knee. And it looks great with flares and with heels, and can look quite casual but also a bit more fancy, depending on how you combine it. It looks great a bit "high waist" with a nice belt. And I tried wearing it as a strapless top with a nice patent bow belt and black skinny pants...it looked a bit Lanvin last season. I'm working on getting over my pathologycal shyness in order to take some pics of myself wearing it that way because it looks great...maybe soon. I promise I'll try (but I'm VERY shy).

Dress : Vintage (Retro City, Madrid)

Mini holidays...

...in Madrid.

Visiting friends, which is always fun, enjoying the nights in the city that never sleeps, revisiting museums and, of course...shopping!!!!

I bought:

-a vintage flower dress
-a pair of Oxford shoes
-a pair of grey shorts
-complements

I'll show some pics very soon.

Until then, some interesting places to buy cool stuff in Madrid:

La Maison, cute store located in a stylish appartment in the coolest area in Madrid. Handmade clothes, unique pieces, cool hair complements and many clutches.

Retro City, vintage store runned by the two nicest shop assitants in Madrid. Good prices, excellent location, some interesting accesories, many dresses...actually the place where I bought my dress.

Corachán y Delgado, the best vintage store in Madrid. Simply fabulous, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Balenciaga, many 20s items, so exclusive...But expensive (snif snif). The store is sooo beautiful, located in restored old wine shop.

Biscuit, the cutest store!! Full of girly dresses, handmade brooches, flower hair complements and the nicest pendants...everything is so unique here. Lovely lovely! (And they give you little cookies with dress shapes, isn't that cute?).

Old stuff found in a wardrobe

Bag : Unknown / Scarf : Unknown
Coffee : I'm an addict / Mini ice cream : Unbelievable hot summer

Have you ever looked back in your old wardrobe, during a visit to the family? Maybe you've been as lucky as I was, finding these two cute items lost somewhere there...I don't even remember wearing them, maybe they weren't even mine...but now that I've found them I'm so hapy and they are so pretty that I'm enjoying them as much as they deserve.
The bag is made of leather, and it's so small that I can only fit in it a couple of things. It looks lovely! So oldie, and so cute.
The scarf is made of a really fresh material, perfect for the summer. I love wearing it as a hairband.
Next time I'll explore the old wardrobes again...I'm sure they are full of precious treasures!

Exquisite vintage

Back at home...And to my own laptop. It's not easy to be far from it...now I'm happy to be able to post as I like to again.

During my mini holidays I did/saw some interesting and nice things. One of my great discoveries was a little cute vintage store with a not very nice owner. She got angry because I wanted to take photos and asked me why they were for, because she just allowed to take pictures if they where for stylists for TV or films or theater...So bizarre, don't you think? Anyways, I didn't want to tell her that they were for my blog, because I'm sure that she would like to know the blog address and she was so unkind that I wasn't sure if I wanted her to enter this mini world I have here...I just didn't want to. So I just told her that the pictures were for me, because I loved vintage clothes and I loved many of the stuff around there and I just wanted to have them for myself. She thinked about it for a minute and then said...ok. But I wanted to go, so I just decided to take a pic of my favourite thing in the store, which is this wonderful, beautiful outfit...


The coat was unbelievable, with its pattern of little ribbons, and the dress was made of silk, and so 20's...of course it was all very expensive and I didn't want to be broke for the rest of the month, but I still dream of these two cute pieces...

Vacances

I'm out on some mini holidays...will be back soon. I couldn't take my laptop with me so it's not easy to post as I would like to, with pictures etc...
Anyways, I'm having a great time, despite the unbelievable heat, which makes it hard to decide about outfits...I just want to wear light white dresses, eat many fruit sorbets and ice tea with mint and that's all.
These days I've been playing Scrabble in sunny terraces, drinking raspberry milkshakes and café frappé while walking by busy streets, sleeping on the grass under the shadow of centenary trees...
I've also been searching for new retro nice clothes at some cool vintage stores and bought some pretty little things. Will show them soon, especially a really nice 70s jacket (with strass buttons!) that makes me doubt about the right ways to combine it. I hope you can help me!

Happy holidays!
