Back from vacations!!!

And we are finally back from our vacations!

After some lazy days after this long trip...

we went out to enjoy this sunny day,

yes... Fall is just around the corner!

The weather is really better than what we had during our road trip...

almost 38°C (110°F) each day... CRAZY!

so now with 27°C I didn't fear to wear black...

paired with this nice 50's novelty skirt.

I wore it during our trip in the USA last year...

but it really deserves a post for itself!

Sylvain was so pleased to be able to wear ties again.

because of course you cannot wear them with 38°C!

This one is from the 30's.

A little hawaïan flair what is rare in that era.

To be back to my skirt...

its colors are quite unusual for me,

cannot believe it matches perfectly

my new set of bangles from the Pink Bungaloo!

I also have had this hat for a few years...

but never found the perfect outfit to match with...

you sometimes fall in love with some items that are so hard to match with anything...

but it's too hard to resist, you HAVE TO buy it....

CRAZY vintage addict!!!

My Girafe brooch is from Erstwilder.

Do you see their last collection?

I must tell that it's not my favorite...

I prefer their older designs just with animals.

We found a few good thrift stores during our road trip.

This yellow shirt is part of what we found!

Did you have a crazy HOT summer?

Do you also buy things that will be hard to match?

Et nous voici de retour de notre road trip!!! Après quelques jours de cocooning pour se remettre de ce périple sous des températures caniculaires, on a enfin trouvé la force de mettre le nez dehors pour profiter des derniers jours des vacances... et oui, l'automne n'est pas loin....

Après des 38° pendant des jours, 27° ne nous fait plus peur... l'occasion de sortir des vêtements un peu différents! Retour aux cravates pour Sylvain et je ressors le noir!

- A bientôt pour un compte rendu de nos vacances! -

BOATER and FLORAL skirt...

After stormy weather, sun is back again... yeah!

Why not going out with our '59 Caddy

for a good sunday flea market?

That was such a nice day...

sunny but not too hot...

perfect weather to wear vintage!!!

Feel great to be able to wear full skirt with a New Look jacket!

This vintage one is part of a 50's suit...

but as I don't wear often my suits because they look too strict,

I decided it would be funnier to match this jacket with a colorful skirt

and with this Luxulite brooch! (Won on Instagram thanks to Coconette-oz just for my birthday!)

Sylvain was also really pleased...

he could go back to his favorites,

VINTAGE TIES of course!!!

He likes to be elegant.

This 30's fitted jacket was calling for a boater!

You must have noticed the master piece of my outfit!

This GORGEOUS vintage skirt!!!!

And what if I tell you that it is not even vintage????

I rarely wear repro for clothes...

I'm always dissapointed with the cut, the fabric, the price...

I tried some repro like Pin Up Girl clothing

but it was too large or too small and mainly TOO short!

I fell in love with that fabric on Etsy HERE...

And with such reasonable price, I choose to contact Marjorie the owner of the shop "Hearts and Found" to see if she can create the skirt of my dream.

I wanted a custom waist size, sweep and lenght...

but I also wanted a box pleated waist

that I think fit better curvy girls.

and here is the result, just perfect! 

She also made THIS one custom made with a special cut

that you will see in another post for sure!

You can also contact her for your dream skirt,

you will be pleased for sure!

I paired it with these Miss L Fire that I really love...

comfy and glamour!

and another Belle Lurette brooch... (yes, I'm a brooch addict...)

We were really lucky on that day...

we were invited to take those pictures in a castle yard...

the 2 owners of this special place welcomed us...

it was hard to picture Sylvain's outfit after their arrival!

We really LOVE dogs... in fact every kind of animals...

So here is the lord of this castle...

What a dapper guy with his friendly old lady!

I really love those pictures....

WE definitively NEED A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you pleased with repro?

Would you be able to tell that this skirt was not vintage?

Et voilà, les folies de l'été continue... nous voici au printemps! Loin de se plaindre, c'est le temps parfait pour porter du vintage!

L'occasion de ressortir les vestes, les cravates (Sylvain était aux anges) et les jupes tout en volume... et quelle jupe!!!

Pourriez-vous croire qu'elle n'est même pas vintage, mais juste faite sur mesure pour moi en respectant chacune de mes demande? En fait, j'ai très souvent été très déçue par la repro, tailles bizarres, prix fantaisistes, tissu décevant et surtout TROP COURT!!! Si vous voulez créer tout comme moi la jupe de vos rêves, contactez Marjorie de Hearts and Found!

Nous avons été gentillement invités dans la cour d'un château pour prendre ces photos... nous avons été chaleureusement par les 2 propriétaires à 4 pâtes de la propriété...
