Our friends and us organized a big event last week-end: vintage cars, retro style vendors, rockabilly concerts... A little VLV like one of my follower said! That was a big success despite an awfull weather... I'm trying to prepare a post about it for next week! Stay tuned!!!
So we are back to our normal life....
and normal life means for us ... flea markets of course!
It's even better under the sun!!!
So to celebrate the finally coming summer, I inaugurated a brand new 50's dress!!!
I love NOS vintage clothes, tags are always gorgeous.
This dress is labelled "Fruits of the Loom".
Can you believe it was just a house dress???
A little tip...
when your curls are not at the top or when it's hot, wear a vintage nylon net... I love this one with beads.
Handsome husband in black, gray and white...
With the first 50's 2 tones shirt he has ever bought!
We really love details in vintage outfits....
Look for example at the handles of this MIDAS purse...
harlequin pattern!
Can you see the woven fabric of this dress?
That was so good to finally enjoy the sun...
We feel like we went from winter to summer with no spring...
I cannot believe that I have only wear my new Miss L Fire wedges once...
and it's already SALES in France so I bought 2 new pairs with 50% off, sun must stay with us for me to have a chance to wear all of them!!!!
So we went to 2 huge flea markets this week-end!
and when weather is good, flea markets are the best!
So you are dying to see what we found, aren't you?
So we bought A LOT!!!!
6 umbrellas (!!!), two 50's hat, a 40's fur cape....
a funny phones toy, a vintage boat Dashboard, many records...
an atomic NOS picture frame, a gorgeous paint of a "parisienne" (the french pin-up)...
a lovely 50's box and many vintage costume jewels (brooches, earrings, necklaces, bracelets)...
some 40's-50's scarves, a carved bakelite bangle and much more!!!
Did you miss us?
What did you do this week-end?
Wow love the shoes - they are amazing!

Wonderfully lovely dress! I've always wanted a classic Fruit of the Loom day dress, too. The brand still exists to this day, but they pretty much just make undergarments and socks - long gone are the days of vibrant, durable cotton frocks like this beauty.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, what an utterly incredibly vintage haul you two found! I love (!) everything, but am especially smitten with the six umbrellas (wow!!!) and bevy of jewelry. Congrats on all your awesome new items!

You and your husband look absolutely fantastic!! You always inspire me with your fabulous fashion sense, and I love each and every outfit you wear!
ReplyDeleteI am drooling over your flea market haul!! And over those Miss L Fire's!! They are not as easy to find in the States, but now that the new Hollywood store is opening, I sense a trip in my future! ;) And since Hollywood is so near Disneyland, I'll just HAVE to stop off there! Ha!
