50's NOLVELTY skirt....

I'm back after a long break...

Yes, I have lacked motivation lately...

Now that I'm on Instagram now,

it's such easier to share pictures with less work,

you can have hundreds view and likes in a day, whereas a blog post have perhaps 10 to 15 comments...

but we were also really busy due to CRY BABY car show.

An event that we organized with our car club The GORMANDIZERS and POWERGLIDE MAGAZINE for which Sylvain and I write.

As we were part of the organisation,

we didn't have time to take pictures...

So if you want to see goo pictures of the event, visit THIS page!

So here are some pictures back in May...

With one of the few vintage novelty skirts I own.

They are hard to find in larger sizes

and their prices are really becoming CRAZY lately!!!

It's like 50's Atomic ricky jacket for men...

They are hard to find in good condition.

Seller can ask $300 for a jacket ruined at sleeves ends!

My husband found this one in L.A. for less than that...

and it's in gorgeous condition!

This late 40's, early 50's hat was also a bargain...

I found it in a lost Antiques Mall in San Diego's suburb...

I was about not to buy it because it was not bright red but with a touch of orange! Yes... I'm picky...

but my husband wanted absolutly to take it for me!

More over the dealer proposed a crazy discount that sealed the deal!

$25 for a prestine HUGE vintage hat, what else to ask!

Thanks Hubby to care about my wardrobe!

My cute POODLE from Belle Lurette!

These pictures were taken in an abandonned castle...

it belonged to a familly who developped steel industry in our area.

It is now waiting to be restored...

We have had a CRAZY hot days recently, about 40°C (112°F)...

Not the best weather to wear vintage ties...

It's now time to think about our next vacations...

Road trip to Germany, Austria and Hungary!

Do you understand the CRAZY prices for some vintage clothes?

Where will you spend your summer vacations?

Nous voici de retour après un long break... moins motivée... très occupée... nous avons une bonne excuse! Nous avons organisé avec notre Car Club Les GORMANDIZERS et POWERGLIDE MAGAZINE, le CRY BABY car show. Ce fût un grand succès, mais faisant partie de l'organisation, nous n'avons pas eu le temps de faire des photos... mais le net regorge de superbes clichés, voici un exemple pour saisir l'ambiance!

Voilà, sinon ici quelques photos datant du mois de mai... 2 types de vêtements qui ont récemment atteint des prix de fous... les jupes novelty pour les filles et les vestes atomiques pour les messieurs... certains vêtements vintage sont vraiment devenus inabordables depuis quelques temps! Sinon, il est temps de penser aux vacances d'été... Road trip vers l'Est pour nous, et vous?

- Bonnes vacances pour ceux qui ont la chance d'y être déjà -

THANKS to be a girl!!!

Here are pictures from a few weeks ago...

this dress has been one of my favorite for years.

It's so comfy and easy to match...

but I'm always a bit dissapointed

when I see pictures of me wearing it.

I think it makes me look a bit curvier...

perhaps because it's 2 sizes too big...

but I don't care I love it so much!

Its details and colors are really great.

Despite the fact that I'm trying to buy more skirts,

 dresses are really my favorites!

Men don't have so many choices for their outfits...

Only separates...

Not fully true, because Sylvain has a few overalls to do odd jobs.

I love to be a woman and being able to wear so much fun accessories!

My husband also love fun things...

but the choice for men is really narrow compared to women!

Here he matched a fun kites 40's tie

with a sword tie bar!

A great belt can be also a beautiful add to a man outfit.

For women accessories choice has no ending!!!

Look at those sparkling silver sun glasses...

and moreover from a NOS!

Another so cute brooch from Erstwilder collection!

And one of my score from last Viva....

this Enid Collins purse!!!

I'm usually not a fan of this kind of purses,

there are often too 60's but

who can resist to this poodle design???

Another great add for this chilly spring,

this amazing 40's knitted cape!

Probably handmade with light blue and ... SILVER (!!!) wool.

 

What is your favorite kind of accessories?

Do you prefer skirts or dresses?

Et voici quelques photos diffusées encore avec un certain retard... Me voici dans une de mes robes favorites! J'adore son confort, ses détails, sa couleur, cependant quand je vois des photos de moi la portant, je suis souvent un peu déçue... je trouve qu'elle me grossit un peu... probablement car elle est 2 tailles trop grandes... mais au final, je l'aime trop pour ne pas la porter! Même si j'essaye d'enrichir ma garde robe avec des jupes, j'ai une réelle préférence pour les robes, plus facile à assortir. Je remercie souvent le ciel d'être née femme, nous avons tellement plus de choix en habillement que les hommes!!! Mon mari essaye de rendre ses tenues les plus fun possibles avec des accessoires de qualité, mais rien à voir avec le nombre d'accessoires disponibles pour nous les filles! Bijoux, sacs à mains, lunettes... on peut s'en donner à coeur joie!

- Bonne semaine à tous -
