July is in full swing and although this summer is going to be different from the others, I’m taking this time in the city to explore my neighbourhood and there’s no better outfit than the Jezebel Dress from Vivien of Holloway.
Hello! I just realised I haven’t posted on here for months. Personal changes and other priorities got in the way, but I’m back and ready to continue blogging and sharing my passion for vintage with you all.
Today I’d like to show you a new shop in Barcelona: The Oldies, located in Galeries Maldà right in the city centre. I’m so happy to see a new retro shop open in Barcelona! The Oldies is specialised in reproduction items from the 1920s up to the 1950s and carry a broad selection of brands. Either shoes, dresses, coats, accessories or lingerie, you will fall in love with everything they have instore! Continue reading
One of my favorite things of going abroad or on holiday outside Spain is to look for vintage and antiques shops in the area I am visiting.
Although vintage is nowadays very popular in my country, especially in Barcelona, there’s something that has always caught my eye: the prices.
Yes, it might seem unnoticeable to you, but I’ve found that prices for second hand garments and other stuff here is quite high. Moreover, most of the things you can find at a vintage shop date from the 80s or 90s. We also have great vintage furniture shops in the city, with original furniture dating from the 60s and 70s. I really understand the prices in that case, although in the States it is easier to find cheaper prices. Check El Recibidor en Barcelona for great quality pieces for your home.
One of the things I always do when I visit the States – the paradise for vintage lovers – is keep a lot of space for the things I’ll shop during my trip. Below you can find me swooning over the many antiques and vintage garments at Playclothes, one of the best second hand shops in Burbank, California.
What’s your point of view? Do you find vintage garments and other stuff cheap where your live?
Yesterday I went out for a stroll in the park, and decided to rock my inner bad girl. The weather was hot and a bit cloudy, perfect to take few snaps for the blog. I am wearing the Dior shirt in leopard print from Goldies Clothing – formerly known as Cindy Bangs -, which is such a great garment to pair with a pencil skirt. Inspired by the New Look from the late 1940s, goes very well with my Zara pencil skirt. Since I’ve lost weight in the past months, I’ll have to stretch both garments a bit!
Anyway, I hope you all like the pics. Oh, and might do a blog post about how to wear pin up style garments to the office with style! 😉 This shirt is very classy and sophisticated, and embraces my curves very well.
You never have too many dresses. NEVER. Your obsession to buy more clothes and accessorize is not understood by other people.
Finding the perfect shoes seems impossible. But when you find them, you’d wear these beauties even on your pajamas.
A good pair of capris is a pin up girl’s best item for Spring/Summer, don’t you think? I am in love with the Lizzy capris in white. I used to dislike this color on me because I felt I looked horrible wearing it, but I am absolutely in love with these photos! Oh, and they have tiny polkadots!
I know, I know. I haven’t done an outfit post in ages. But here’s one that will make you fall in love even more with Pin Up Girl Clothing.
One of my all time favourite skirts is the Jenny skirt in harlequin, which matches perfectly with many colours. Last weekend I went to a Kustom Culture Event near Barcelona, the Speedfest Festival, where I had the opportunity to be near vintage cars from the 50s and the 60s, two of my favourite decades. And I channeled my inner 1950s housewife look, which drew the attention of many attendees and photographers.
