SUMMER time = NEW SHOES !!!!

First I want to thanks everybody that are following this blog... I saw on our FACEBOOK page this week-end that we received more than 1000 "likes"!!! That's becoming CRAZY!

 
Thanks guys, we love you! I must also tell you that I read all your messages/comments and they make my day... even if I don't have time to answer to all of them, I really appreciate them and try to improve this blog to thank you!

 
So here are a couple of pictures that I really like!

 
That was last sunday... yes, I'm a little late on my posts... I still have so much to share about our US trip... you will have to be patient...
 
 
So last sunday was a busy day!

We start with some flea markets early in the morning with friends.
 
 
We also visited a place with vintage trains.

 
We were really surprised by the weather....

 
More than 20°C with a bright sun!!!!

 
We tought: "YES, it's already SUMMER!!!"

 
So I could not kept my new pair of MISS L FIRE shoes unworn!!!

 
They are from their new Spring/Summer collection and called TIJUANA!

 
They are gorgeous, aren't they?

 
With my friend Vincent....

 
We were all the afternoon at a vintage car show in Luxembourg organized by our friends of ACES DE LUXE.

 
I was allowed to try this amazing 30's car!

 
It matched perfectly my outfit!!! 


 
My dress is a new purchase from our last trip.
 
 
Sylvain always have a large smile when he is surrounded with vintage american cars!

 
We will also organized with our car club an EVENT in June, so if you live near Lorraine, come to see us at CRY BABY!!!

 
I really love red and plaid!

 
Have you ever see a dress with cuff links!!! Eiffel Tower ones found in a german flea market, in fact 2 pairs... Sylvain was wearing the same ones!!! 


 
I must tell you that I was excited to receive a few months ago an e-mail from Miss L Fire team!!!
 
 
They told me that they love my blog and that they wanted my to choose a pair in their new collection as a present!!!!

 
All their shoes are so nice that it was hard to choose, that's why I not only choose one pair, but TWO! You will see the other one when sun will come back! 
 

 
Even with a hot weather, Sylvain cannot let down his 40's ties...

 
Yes, it was winter a day ago and a few hours later, it was SUMMER!

 
These pictures can have been shoot in a Californian desert, aren't they?

 
I found this dress in a cheap vintage shop with thousand and thousand items from the 70's to the 80's... but I found some true treasures for unbelievable prices!
 
 
Look at this incredible 50's pram!!!

 
There was also an inside swap meet,

 
 where I found 2 vintage 50's umbrellas. I must think about a post to share my umbrellas collection.


 
We ended this beautiful day with a Lincoln drive!


What are you thinking about my new shoes?
Are you enjoying the first sunny days of the year?

A wish come true....

Have you ever dream to find a special piece of vintage clothes?
 
For me, I have always dreamt to find a felt circle skirt...
 
 
I must tell you that my dream come true at VLV vendors room.
 
 
My husband was also lucky while shopping in Vegas.
 
 
Look at his amazing jacket!
 
 
I always wished to have a 24 or 26'' waist because that's the size of most circle skirts of the 50's...
 
 
Created for teenagers, they are so hard to find in a larger size.
 
But after years of search, I finally find one!!! Yeah!!!!
 
 
It's not only my size...
 
 
but it's also gorgeous...
 
 
and in excellent condition!!!
 
 
Most of the time they are dammaged with moths holes and with appliques not so well done...
 
 
I bought it at the last minute sales in VLV, in sunday evening you really can make good bargains! 
In fact I had almost 40% off on this skirt because of a stain in the front, I was really not sure if I would be able to remove it, but I could not let it go... MY size!!!!
 
And I won, I could easily remove the stain at home...
 
 
I love all these flowers appliques with sequins!
 
 
Sylvain found a lot of 40's ties during our trip.
 
 
They are really like pieces of art!
 
 
Love his style!!!
 
 
I bought this 50's orlon bolero in a thrift store in Pomona for $1....
 
 
This 50's hat seems to be made of fur or perhaps swan feathers, not sure.
 
 
Oh, did you notice that I cut my hair? 

 
Some friends came to visit us from Paris last week-end...

 
We could finally enjoy the first real spring days together... 
 
 

What piece do you dream to find one day?
Are you a circle skirts fan?
