CHERRIES on BLUE sweater....

Sun comes and disappears...


Sometimes warm, sometimes chilly...


Winter or spring? 


Spring or winter????


So I choose to create a winter outfit with a spring flair...


With 4 items  found recently, that I was dying to wear...


First, this lovely vintage red belt found in a flea market...


and this so well made hand knitted vintage sweater bought the same day (here).


My 50's blouse was found last week in Reims, this kind of basic is a must have in any wardrobe!


And finally a new vintage style lucite set from Luxulite.


I have always liked what this english lady makes, but her creations sell really fast!


So I was lucky enough to be the first on this set, gorgeous, isn't it?


Being my photograph can be really risky....


Sylvain had a small ... accident with ravens....


So DANGEROUS!!!!!


We laughed so much!!!


So to speak more about my outfit...


Baby blue wool sweater to be warm...


and a cute flower skirt to call spring!


I have already present it in a post here...


but you can see that you can create a different look...


With just some other accessories...


So if you have some nice basics and a few stunning pieces,


you can create a lot of different outfits!


Same rules for guys!


This 40's sweater is really stunning!


This kind of pullover are now so hard to find...


Match it with basic saddle shoes


and classic hight waist pants...


and you will have a hansome husband!!!


Do you have tips to create a perfect outfit ?
Did you have any Luxulite designs ?

Sun, blue sky and vintage cars!!!!

Weather has been really AMAZING for last few days...


10 days with only blue sky, quite unusual...
is winter really ended?


So we enjoyed this unexpected weather last week-end at Reims.


As every year we went to the first vintage cars event in North East of France.


We had so much fun with friends that we forgot to take pictures... just a few to share...


We both wore red!


I didn't even picture my dress...


But with just a few photos, you can have an idea of our looks on that day.


Just one detail of my earrings!


Crazy bakelite little guys found NOS in Paris for Xmas.


Sylvain and I found also some new vintage treasures.


I bought that HUGE 40s purple hat and you cannot see the other side.... GORGEOUS! I LOVE huge hats!


So many nice vintage cars!!!


We drove to there with Sylvain's '58 Lincoln...


We finished the day at our friends' home in a cosy 30's atmosphere!


Are you also in Europe to be able to enjoy this crazy weather?
What special events did you go to lately?

First FLEA MARKETS !!!

So we are now waiting for spring...


and how to know if winter is soon over?


Winter finishes when flea markets start again after a sleepy season!


We went to some nice ones last week!


It feels good to be able to hunt again for beautiful vintage treasures...


even if it's still a bit cold outside!


These pictures were shot in Belgium.


These amazing stairs have just been restored.


That was last sunday's morning...


a real winter feeling!


But on the same day's afternoon, it was already spring!!!


So I was able to show you what was under my coat and furs!


Did you notice my new boots from Miss L Fire?


They fit perfectly my skirt's pockets!


I love this sweater because I gave it a second "life"...


It was quite plain and large when I bought it...


but I loved its color and unusual shape so I gave it a try!


I added a few vintage buttons in an asymetrical way...


and an elastic at waist to give a more flattering look ....


My cute poodle was really cosy pined there!


That was definitively a good hair day!!!


We enjoyed a walk in park after flea market...


Our car trunk already full of goodies!


Here is Sylvain's look on that day.


This amazingly bright sweater just called for spring!


Sylvain had fun doing some sport...




always like a kid...


But you want certainly see what we found!


40's hats, 40's sweater, 50's grey mink stole, 30's shoes, vintage jewels (earrings, brooches, watches), 50's ELLE magazines, vintage scarves, 50's red belt, atomic tables, 50's scale, 50's lucite display, cute vintage boxes....
