A HOT DRIVE-IN...

After a bad summer beginning, sun is really here now and weather is hotter and hotter everyday!!!

Not easy to wear vintage clothes with these high temperatures!

We went to a former industrial site in Luxembourg that has been tranformed in a commercial area.

But it was not just a small drive together with my husband, we had a special goal...

Meeting friends at the sunset for a drive-in movie!!!!

It was a special evening for vintage cars.

Just a few words about this outfit. A 50's set bought in Mamie, a vintage shop in Paris, about 10 years ago, perfect light coton for hot summer! My turban is made of a 50's souvenir scarf from "Côte d'Azur".

All our friends were at the first rank just in front of the screen.

 

These kind of events are not common here, it's just for 4 nights in a year.

It's sure you will be more comfy in a classic movie theater with air conditionned and soft chair, but it will be for sure less fun!!!!

Just waiting for the movie to begin sharing drinks and pop corn...

Just like in the 50's, isn't it?

Unfortunaly, I forgot to picture my turban, it's really nice with palms, some flags, vintage style people in swimsuit....

What a nice view!!!!

And it was time to enjoy movie....

Just for picture .... the movie was not in 3D!

The movie was a vintage one of course...

Goldfinger a James Bond from the early 60's with Sean Connery.

I watch the first half of the movie in our '58 Lincoln convertible  and the second one in my Chevy.... not easy to see all screen with a such small windshield....

Have you ever been to a Drive-In movie Theater?

Do you wear vintage clothes when it's really hot?

Summer PICNIC

This August month is really summer but we know that fall will be here faster than we expect so we have to enjoy every sunny week-ends!

To begin a classic flea market....

I found some vintage earrings and a NOS 40's pair of shoes!

I was wearing hat, dress and jacket from the 40's.

This dress must be a maternity dress because you can change the waist size.

And we went with friends near a fishing pond for a pic nic.

Our summer is so short that we must enjoy driving our vintage cars now!

It's so peaceful to be near water...

with a group of friends!

Even the dogs were enjoying the sun!

A detail from my hat, it's a NOS one just perfect for summer.

Most of these pictures were done by my husband that's why you don't see him and that's also why there are so much cars' pictures....

We enjoy a ride in town after the picnic!

And we went back to the place were our wedding was hosted to share a drink together. Souvenirs, souvenirs!!!!

Do you wear more 40's or 50's clothes?

Are you a pic nic fan?

50's BANDEAU

I found on Ebay some weeks ago this set of 50's NOS BANDEAUX.... I lost the auction but some time after the seller contacted me to tell me that she had more of them... That's how I received this:

I always don't know what to do with NOS items... use or not use them? But here I was dying to use them!!!

Here are some pictures close to Moselle River near home.

BANDEAU is a french word and I had not idea that american people use it.

This pink dress from the early 50's comes from GROUCHO, the shop I visited in Toulouse. I bought it 5 years ago.

I was also wearing for the first time my new Rockets Original shoes: pink and black, just perfect!!!

Giving some bread to these beautiful swans.

Just enjoying the sun which takes many weeks to come...

And a picture from the back to finish this simple day....

Have you ever seen some bandeaux like these?

How do you feel about NOS items dating before the 60's?
