In a SPIDER web !!!

Hi dear readers!

Long time without news...

except if your are following us on Facebook or Instagram.

Here are some "old" pictures...

dating back from November.

But the weather was already so wintery...

and the colors of my outfit a bit Xmassy, aren't they?

November and early december were quite busy.

We spent a few days in Paris...

a week after the sad events which happened there...

We could see that something was different in the streets...

but we didn't feel any insecurity,

a lot of shoppes owners thanked us not to have cancel our trip...

please support PARIS and visit the most beautiful city in the world!!!

A few words about my outfit...

I LOVE my new SPIDER web circle skirt!

Matched with a vintage rhinestones spider brooch!

My new MISS L FIRE shoes helps me to choose the other colors of my outfit...

Green and red!!!

Loved this combo...

These shoes are LOVELY!!!

 

But be carefull... they run large... I regret not to have downsized...

Did you notice my new hairstyle?

Just temporary after a haircut...

a 60's flair that's makes me look younger if I believe what people said to me...

No change for my hubby...

Still handsome...

with a nice 50's jacket,

a bright shirt,

a gorgeous 40's tie and... 

an amazing car!

Do you often change your hairstyle?

Will you come to Paris despite those sad events ?

Nous voici de retour après un long silence... et quelques photos prises quelque part en Novembre... mais la lumière bien triste de l'hiver était déjà là et nos tenues avaient déjà des couleurs orientées vers Noël... Novembre et début décembre ont été chargés, notamment avec un petit voyage à Paris... quelques jours après les tristes événements du 13/11... nous n'avons pas senti d'insécurité, mais il était évident que certains quartiers s'étaient vidés... supportons notre belle capitale en n'annulant pas vos voyages!

De petites nouveautés dans ma tenue, mais aussi avec une nouvelle coupe de cheveux... provisoire après un passage chez le coiffeur...

Vintage TRACHTEN....

During our trip in Bavaria and Austria last summer...

of course we visited a lot of historical places

but we also made some shopping!

I have always loved bavarian outfits.

I think that dirnl dresses are really lovely

and give a nice curvy silouhette.

The traditionnal clothes are called TRACHTEN in Germany.

Those vintage traditionnal clothes are easy to find,

even in thrift stores.

In the 40's-50's, these outfits were worn on a daily basis 

and not just as a costume for Oktober fest like nowadays...

So here is the outfit I built with a few of my last summer purchases.

The master piece is this sweater...

handmade with a lot of beautiful details.

Another find is this velvet vest,

with small embroidered flowers.

The white blouse is a flea market find in Munich.

My edelweiss necklace was find in a german flea market near home.

All the other parts of my outfit are not traditionnal...

but I thought they provided a quite good harmony...

40's green felt hat...

where I added vintage cherries.

Vintage american A line velvet skirt...

you could have think that it was a set with the vest,

 but absolutly not!

My 50's astrologic basket...

and shoes from Miss L Fire!

That outfit was really fun to built and to wear!!!!

As I fell in love with Trachten fashion for women....

Sylvain was really not seduced by bavarian men's outfits!

No leather pants or feathers hat for him...

What a pity!!!!

As I suppose that just like me, you would have loved to see him...

with traditionnal bavarian leather shorts and suspenders!!!!

But he will not get ride of his beautiful ties!

This one with small "bambies" is really fun.

A lot of people noticed that my outfit were from Bavaria...

I really LOVE this sweater...

must definitively find a way to wear it for Xmas season...

yes, fall is now in the past... 

I write this post looking at the first snow falling outside...

Do you like vintage bavarian outfits?

Do you sometimes wear traditionnal clothes?

Pendant notre séjour en Bavière et Autriche, nous n'avons pas fait que du tourisme, mais aussi un peu de shopping... vintage bien sûr! J'ai toujours beaucoup aimé les vêtements traditionnels bavarois, je trouve qu'ils donnent une silhouette très féminine... Ces vêtements appelés TRACHTEN sont assez faciles à trouver sur place, car dans les 40's-50's, c'était des vêtements de tous les jours et pas seulement un costume porté une fois par an pour la fête de la bière comme de nos jours. J'ai ainsi pu rapporter plusieurs pièces vintage dans mes valises! Je présente ici une tenue construite avec quelques unes de mes trouvailles.

Ce fût une tenue très fun à construire et à porter!!! Sylvain n'a pas eu le même coup de coeur pour la mode masculine bavaroise... et oui, il n'a pas craqué sur les chapeaux à plumes et les culottes de cuir... Dommage...

Et vous, vous en pensez quoi de cette mode traditionnelle?

- A bientôt -
