Time for BOOTS again???

After a really beautiful beginning of fall, cold finally arrived...

Time for heavy wool sweaters to go out again,

but also time for fur to reappear in my wardrobe!

It's not easy to take good pictures when the weather is grey...

we are having a lot of fog lately only dissapearing at 2PM...

so sad!

So this kind of weather was the perfect excuse to inaugurate my new boots!

They are once again from Miss L Fire.

To find good looking vintage style boots is so difficult,

so when I saw this model inspired from a previous one I already have....

I bought 2 pairs: a black one and a red one! 

Yes, I'm crazy about shoes... but I'm just like every women...

Sylvain chose a varsity style.

This kind of sweaters are not so hard to find...

but if you want one from the 40's-50's in pristine condition, it's a different story...

I love how he matched his tie bar!

I found this fur cape in a local flea market for a few euros...

Definitively from the 40's judging by the square shoulders!

Don't know what kind of fur it is....

It's quite heavy but could be fake also....

Some people told me my hat was made of swan feathers.

This dress was new old stock with tags still attached!

It is its first time outside after more than 60 years!!!!

As I said earlier, when weather is grey and sad, it's hard to capture the true colors with our camera.

My new cat from Erstwilder was really cosy pinned there!

Plaid season finally started.

I really love purple and lilac.

It's time to find inspiration for winter outfits, quite hard to let go my simple vintage coton dresses till next spring...

Have you already packed all your summer outfits ?

What is inspiring you for your upcoming winter outfits?

Et voilà, après un début d'automne des plus clément, les journées grises et tristes sont de retour.... avec du brouillard jusque 2h de l'après-midi, c'est dur d'être motivés à mettre le nez dehors!

Il faut donc petit à petit ressortir la garde robe hivernale et trouver une nouvelle inspiration... et la motivation est venue de ces nouvelles botines de Miss L Fire! Trouver de bonnes repro pour des chaussures d'hiver n'est pas évident, donc quand je les ai vu, mon sang n'a fait qu'un tour, il me les fallait... après avoir résisté quelques semaines, j'ai craqué non seulement sur les noires, mais aussi les rouges! Oui... folle de chaussures, comme toutes les femmes! Style universitaire pour sylvain avec ce superbe sweater US...

Et vous, quelles sont vos inspirations pour vos tenues hivernales?

Vintage NOVELTY skirt....

I really love 50's teenage fashion... 

even if I'm not a teen girl anymore!

One thing I really like about teen clothes is that they were really colorfull....

and also with great novelty prints, not boring at all!

If you are wearing a 24-26'' waist, you will find gorgeous novelty skirts.

But as I'm not even close to a teenage size, it's quite hard for me to find these kind of clothes.

So when I saw this AMAZING skirt just my size on Oh La La, the Facebook group, I didn't hesitate!

I really love its colors, theme and design!

Sylvain was wearing his favorite color: brown!

In fact I don't know if it is his favorite color...

but I have to constat that he often wears brownish outfits.

it's not a color that I wear a lot on me but I must tell that it suits him well.

To complete my outfit, I tried to select red, green and yellow accessories.

A 50's beret found in a local flea market,

I had never seen a plastic feather like that!

A few bakelite bangles...

and first time I went out with this early 60's wicker!

I added a vintage silk scarve,

 I mentionned in this post how I wanted to find other way to wear more of my scarves, that's a new way!

I also choose a fake fruits brooch from the 50's.

I will try to wear this skirt with a petticoat next time.

I have recently wearing less and less petticoat...

Am I to old for that????

And the last but not the least... my new shoes!!!!

They are from Miss L Fire, made of rich red velvet, their color is just breathless! 

They are from AW12 (probably my favorite collection from this brand), I found them new on Ebay this summer for half their original price !

You probably saw that there were some middle age knights on my skirt...

So how Sylvain could have matched that????

With his 40's tie of course!

All those pictures were taken in a city near home...

There are an area full of early XXth century luxurious houses.

Always nice to have a stroll there...

and enjoying every architectural details!

 Petticoat or no petticoat?

Do you like brown color?

J'aime décidément beaucoup la mode teenager des années 50, même si je suis bien loin de mes années collège... mais bon, étant également très éloignée de la taille de guêpes de ces gamines de 15 ans, il m'est souvent bien difficile de trouver à ma taille ces vêtements si gais et colorés qui évoquent cette période innocente! Alors pour une fois que je tombais sur une de ces jupes au design très school girl, je suis sautée dessus... de quoi construire une tenue aux couleurs super punchies et qui m'a fait oublié les premiers frimas!

Je suis forcée de constater au final que Sylvain s'habile souvent dans des teintes marron, sa couleur préférée? Je n'en suis pas sûre, mais ce son des couleurs qui lui vont bien.

Avec l'automne qui est enfin arrivé, quelle sont vos préférence vestimentaire pour donner un peu de gaieté à ces journées un peu tristes?

- A bientôt -
