URBEX : the GHOST factory!

You sometimes found some abandonned beautiful buildings just across a street...


The first thing that come to my mind in such case is:


 what could happen to let such a beauty falls appart like that...


It's quite sad but also excited!


It's how we felt last week while coming back from a flea market in Belgium...


We found this beautiful and lonely ART DECO factory and stopped the car immediatly!


Most of the times, it's not possible to enter such sites,


but here everything was openned!


No more furnitures...


Just a ghost factory!


We had no idea of what was produce there, no clue...


Such great details just for a factory!


Great graffitis....


that matched perfectly Sylvain's shirt!



Photographying abandonned places is called URBEX.


Some people are really talented for that, I always ask myself: 


 "But how can they find such places like if time was stopped many decades ago!!!!"


It was a perfect background for an outfit shooting...


I really LOVE this dress from the late 40's, early 50's.


I found it in Berlin during our European trip in August...


Yes, I know... I must still share pictures from that trip!


The colors of that dress are so easy to match.


I don't know if you noticed but I cut my hair recently!


This dress is so versatile!


Can be worn with a belt...


or without!


Matching accessories are easy to find.


This watch is also a purchase from Berlin,


 found in a flea market, so ATOMIC!


Just another simple coton dress that can make you look like a million dollars baby!


That day was quite hot...


so Sylvain chose a more casual style!


Vintage flashy french shirt from the 50's...


a lot of people asked him where were his ties!!!


Have you ever explored abandonned buildings?
Do you like URBEX?

Il arrive qu'au détour d'un chemin on tombe sur les bâtiments abandonnés... soudain notre esprit vagabonde... que c'est-il passé? Pourquoi avoir abandonné ce patrimoine?
On oscille entre tristesse et excitation! Il n'est souvent pas possible de visiter de tels lieux... mais nous avons croisé, en retour de brocante, cette magnifique usine ART DECO... dans son jus, les graffeurs y avaient apposé leurs oeuvres... Un décor fantôme pour une petite scéance photo improvisée! 
Tenue décontracte pour Monsieur et une simple robe en coton fin 40, début 50 pour Madame, une fois de plus les accessoires permettent d'en faire une tenue de gala!
- A bientôt -

Between RAINDROPS.....

Last week-end, we brunched with friends on sunday.



Sylvain wanted absolutly to go with a vintage car...


Some friends did the same!


We chose to drive my 54' Chevy...


It seemed to be a good choice because sun came back after rain...


We really don't know hox to dress with this kind of weather...


My husband is already in the autumnal side,


with wool and plaid!


 I cannot bring myself to live my summer wardrobe...


 I really love simple vintage coton dresses with belt to tight.


They are so comfy and easy to wear, more than jeans for sure!


Just add a classic sweater and you are ready to go out!


Here is probably the biggest vintage brooch of my collection... HUGE!!!


But this beautiful sun was to good to stay...


Rain, rain, rain...


When my californian friends say that they like rain, 
I really don't understand!


I HATE rain!!!


Sylvain was finally right with is warmer clothes...


I have hunt for some more plaid stuff in my wardrobe for the upcoming cold,


Plaid look good on men and women, a classic!


You can find plaid and tartan on about everything from the 40's-50's: skirts, jackets, shoes, purses...


Although I like plaid so much, it's too early for me.


The only good side of rain is that I can add one more accessory to my outfit...


Vintage UMBRELLAS!


Red gives happiness to any outfit, isn't it?


I really don't like to drive my vintage car under the rain, it can be dangerous so I asked my husband to drive me safetly home!


Do you drive your vintage car under the rain?
Do you feel like me it's too early for plaid?

Petite sortie avec ma Chevrolet 54 pour aller "bruncher" entre amis le week-end passé... nous pensions passer entre les gouttes après quelques beaux rayons de soleil, mais malheureusement nous n'avons pas eu de chance! Comment des gens peuvent dire qu'ils aiment la pluie, je la déteste personnellement, elle peut ruiner n'importe quel beau projet! Dur, dur de trouver la tenue adéquate par un tel temps, entre été et automne... alors que Sylvain a déjà ressorti les vestes de laines à carreaux, j'ai bien du mal à me séparer des mes robes coton 50's si confortables (bien plus qu'un jeans...). Et vous, pensez-vous qu'il est trop tôt pour changer de garde robe?
