ROB Vintage

We were invited yesterday for the opening of a new shop in Luxembourg: ROB Vintage.

 

It's a shop which will sell vintage design furnitures from the 50's to the 70's.

 

Designers' furnitures are not what we love the most, we prefer POPULUXE.

 

But there were some things like this wood monkey that I could take back home...

 

 

Modern design is often too simple, colorless... I prefer colorfull popular upholtries!

 

It's so rare to see this kind of shopwhere we live.

 

We had to visit. We also had nice chats with vintage deco lovers.

 

Let's talk a bit more about what we wore for this day...

 

I choose this early 50's dress.

 

 

My husband with his purchase of the day, a 50's modern design heater...

 

My purse was a lucite one bought in Clovis during our last US vacations.

 

Weather becomes colder so Sylvain began to wear again his wool shirts.

 

This dress is made of sheer nylon, so you have to were a vintage slip underneath (bought THERE).

 

I really love the color of this green lucite set with heart shape.

 

I bought this dress on Etsy for $19... it's pretty rare to find such bargain on Etsy!

 

 

This 50's hat was bought many years ago in THIS cars event.

 

My shoes are from the brand BALLY and were bought in a flea market for 1 euro.

 

These pictures were taken in our garden!

 

Did you often make bargains on Etsy?

Do you prefer Danish design or Populuxe?

 

50's American Diner

One of the thing you think about when it comes to the 50's must be 50's american diners... Everybody saw young teenagers coming there after school in Happy Days, American Graffiti and so....

 

We went last evening to this kind of 50's style restaurants...

 

 

but we wanted a special something to make a fun meal together with friends... something like this Happy Days picture... Burgers, 50's cars, poodle skirts!

 

 

We drove our '59 Cadillac...

 

despite a sucking bad weather...

 

 

We chose to dress up like a teenage couple from the 50's even  if High School is very far away from us!!!

 

 

The place where we were invited is FONZIE Diner, it's a few miles away from home. This kind of vintage american style restaurants is

really fashionnable in France and a lot opened recently.

 

This kind of "clichés" about the USA is not my favorite, but it's a fun place to share a meal with friends!

 

 

Sailor Simon and his wife were also part of the party...

 

 

To speak more about my outfit... hard to look like a teenager when you are aver 30... First, I had to wear a full skirt with petticoat of course! A charms bracelet was also a must have!!! 

 

 

Beaded sweater with a bullet bra and a cute fur sweater guard and I came back 15 years ago...

 

For my hair, what is more teenage than a ponytail???? I had never made this kind of style before, but I think I will wear my hair more like this in future! Quite flattering...

 

 

After a few drinks...

 

 

Time to eat!!! The Empire Steack building for Bibi...

 

 

New York wrap for me and Texas Burger for Sylvain!

 

We laught a lot of course!

 

No complete 50's style meal without a huge milk-shake... Coco-Choco for me!

 

 

We want you sailor!!!

 

 

A big thanks to our friend Fred and the Fonzie Diner's boss for the free meals!!!

 

 

In the following picture you will be able to better see my hair style...

 

2 teenagers girls...

 

 

and just a teenage romance....

 

 

Are 50's style diners fashionnable where you live?

What do you think about my teenage outfit, did I look 16 years old?

 

 

 

BOLD Magazine

I told you in THIS post that some journalists came at home to make an interview of us for a magazine...

And here is the BOLD issue where you will find our story...

Sorry, that's all in french written...

There was a nice party last Tuesday for the realease of the magazine at Luxembourg: "Champagne" and "Petits Fours"!!!

Unfortunatly our camera were out of order, but a big thanks to Romain for taking a few pictures of us...

What a pleasure to share a drink with other people who had interest about vintage.

You cannot see ours outfit in tecnicolor with those B&W pictures but I can tell you that we chose to match. Blue for both of us!

After a few dance steps... 

while listening to a good 40's-50's playlist...

it was already time to go back home because I had to wake up early for work the day after... 

that's hard to be have an artist's life...!!!

A special thanks to BOLD's editor Paule... we will meet each other in a near future for sure!
