Is it ALREADY FALL???

We can finally fell Fall these last few days...


Mornings are colder,


it's still night when we wake up for work,


we can even already see some yellow leaves on trees!


Rain has also made its come-back!


So this NOS vintage umbrella


 made its first outing this week-end!


I found 4 of those at a flea market we went 2 weeks ago...


directly from a stock of an umbrellas shop closed in the early 60's!


This market was really HUGE!


The biggest one in Belgium, about 1500 dealers!


We needed more than 11 hours to see everything...


without even eating!!!


Yes, we are CRAZY!


I like when weather is not too cold but also not too hot.


I can add a jacket or a sweater to my outfits...


You can match a second color...


and it's better to pin a nice brooch!


A sweater can also hide what is wrong with a dress!


I have lost some weight recently...


Of course, it's a good thing...


 but it's also a big dilemma!


A part of my wardrobe is now becoming too big on me!


That's the case for this dress...


but wearing it with a sweater is a good solution!


You cannot see that it is oversized!


But that's a weird feeling... being happy to weight less...


but sad that some treasures don't fit anymore...


My hubby has never has that problem of overweight... 


still slim after almost 20 years together!


He eats much more than me,


 do no particular sport...


and it's me who is curvy!!! Not fair...


Sylvain also likes to be able to wear a jacket


but surely not to hide his curves


but with a nice square shoulders jacket


he can certainly feel thougher!!!


Is summer done where you live?
Have you ever had the losing weight dilemma?

Et voilà... il semble que peu à peu l'automne gagne du terrain... les jours raccourcissent, les matinées sont fraîches et les feuilles commencent à jaunir! C'est le moment de ressortir les sweaters et les parapluies! Je viens justement d'en acquérir 4 nouveaux neufs d'époque lors d'une incroyable marché aux puces il y a 2 semaines. 1500 marchants, la plus grande de Belgique, il nous a fallu plus de 11 heures pour tout voir et cela sans manger... oui, nous sommes un peu fous! Même si j'ai horreur de la pluie, cette saison est bien agréable... pas trop chaud, mais pas trop froid... mais un petit cardigan parfait à ravir une tenue et permet aussi de cachet ses petits défauts! J'ai perdu un peu de poids récemment et cela reste un dilemme pour moi... le plaisir de rentrer dans une taille de moins, mais la tristesse de nager dans vos robes préférées! Sylvain est bien loin de ces considérations, il garde la ligne et cela sans sport ou régime particulier... c'est pas juste!!!
- Bonne rentrée à tous -

5th BLOG ANNIVERSARY !!!!!!

WHAAAAAATTTTTT???? 5TH BLOG ANNIVERSARY????




When I started this blog in summer 2011...



I really didn't know that 5 years later I would still post there quite regulary.



With up and down, this blog still exists and I'm quite proud of that!



As all my anniversary posts,
here is a resume of the past year on the blog.



You just need to click on the pictures for a link to the original post!



So if you missed some of them, it's your chance!!!



So what happened to us this year???



We traveled quite a lot with a trip in Eastern Europe last summer,



3 weeks in the USA for Viva Las Vegas



and Paris, Normandie, South of France, Belgium, Germany...



Once more winter was not the best season for good posts...



but this year I only choose to make pictures when I wanted to,



a lot of outfits didn't make it to the blog... with no guilt!



A lot of them were just posted on our Instagram.



I tried to experience new things in my outfits...



I wore more skirts that ever before,



I liked to experience a few traditonnal outfits: mexican, tyrolian...



I even wore for the first time western boots!



I was not afraid to wear twice the same accessories or sweater on posts if I liked them...



that was one of my big problem in the previous years...
only wanted new things for the blog!



but my wardrobe keeps growing....



that's why we made 2 new dressing rooms in our house this year!



We also met some new friends...



and flea markets are still our favorite hobby!



I think that it was quite a good year!



I was really happy to discovered all these posts again!



Yes, writing a blog is a LOT of work,



but when you see the result of a full year, I can just say... WAOW!!!



What was your favorite posts of this year?
When did you discovered our blog?

Et oui.... 5 ans déjà!!! Il était difficile de prévoir en cet été 2011 que ce blog serait toujours là après tout ce temps!!! Oui, un blog c'est beaucoup de travail, mais au final on se sent fier du résultat quand on fait le bilan de l'année écoulée! Comme tous mes posts anniversaire, il suffit de cliquer sur une photo pour revenir au post de départ. C'est donc votre chance si vous en avez manqué certains! Ce fût une année bien remplie, pas mal de voyages, de nouvelles rencontres, mais les basiques restent!
En espérant que vous aurez apprécié cette année passée en notre compagnie et que vous nous soutiendrez encore pour les mois à venir!!!
