Sunday

Last Saturday was one of the best fleamarketing days I had experienced for quite a long time. I found lots of dresses, shoes etc. for my store, but also some good things for myself. On these pics I am wearing one of them. I really love this 1950's sundress with its gingham print. It's almost unbelievable, that I got it for only 2 €!

Rose Bloom

I apologize for being absent for such a long time. Today it was very lovely and hot outside. I wore my new swallow print dress and sat in the sun, ate fish, drank rosé wine, read french Vogue. What could have been better?

France

I took the day off from work yesterday to go to France to shop for groceries there. These pictures, however where not taken in France, but on a small parking lot at the road beside a vineyard, except the first one.

Days without Tights

Today was the first day without tights for me this year. It was also the first day of eating icecream outside, going for a long walk, eating strawberry cake in the garden and doing all those things you would love to do on a pretty spring day. It was so lovely outside that after I finished up all of next week's auctions, I just had to get outside.

I chose to wear this 1950's dirndl dress I bought on the fleamarket last month, but hadn't had the opportunity to wear yet. I love it's rose print and I think it's really a perfect little spring dress.

Cherry Blossoms, I think

While running errands we made a stop at the cemetery. There was this pretty tree in full bloom. I was fascinated by how much life it inheres with bees and bumble-bees and a small titmouse (?) flying around its' blossoms. I think it was a cherry tree, but I'm not good at telling the difference between fruit trees when they don't carry fruits.

Happy Easter!

I was inspired by the new Lula today to try out some striped tights with a spring dress. I own these tights for a couple of years now, but I don't usually wear them, and I must say, I did feel too self conscious in them to wear them on a regular basis. A bit childish, perhaps. I think these are pretty hard to pull off. Lula did find some really nice ways to wear them and this is definitely something, I will try out again, but maybe with another dress and shoes next time.

First Signs of Spring

I was hunting down the first signs of spring that day, looking at every little blossom I could find twice, just to be extra sure, that it's really coming. The birds were all breeding or building their nests, so I guess, they couldn't be wrong, could they?

I wore my new dress, I just got off of Ebay. It was really cheap, and I was surprised it was so lovely, as I couldn't tell from the photo exactly.

Cake

We went for coffee and cake to my parents' house today. I made brioche, which was actually really good, although I had never made it before. My mom didn't like my dress too much, she said it is too grandma-ish, but I like granny things. I can't help it.

At the Pond

Yesterday, we took a walk in the park and it was even possible to take off my coat for a while and take some outfit shots with the new camera which finally arrived. I still haven't figured out how to take decent shots with it yet, the pictures appear kind of blurry. So I'm a bit undecided, if I should send it back or keep it and learn how to use it. I had to take indoor shots today, and I couldn't figure out the whitebalance, so this was quite annoying.

The outfit I'm wearing is inspired by fall colours, although I can see that dress working in summer as well. I thrifted it this week and originally had the intention to sell it, but I just couldn't part with it. I don't usually find dresses from the 1950's. And this one even fits me like a glove. It's tailor made and has a very funny print on it. I already wore it twice this week, I definitely had to keep it.

Red

I bought this dress on the flea market last week, originally with the intention to sell it, but it was so warm and lovely outside, so I decided to wear it instead.

Thrifted Goods

I went thrifting the other day and I still keep finding summery stuff. I came across these two sundresses which I actually bought for the shop, but I don't know if they would still sell, as people are starting to look out for fall items. Same thing with the sandals. Oh, and the blue wedges... I was looking for blue wedges for quite some time now, I finally found these vintage deadstock ones. I kept walking around in them for like 15 minutes and the glue came off and the straps got ripped. This is a strange thing that only happens with vintage shoes that haven't been worn before. So, below I am wearing one of the sundresses which I really wanted to wear with the wedges, but couldn't. Have to bring these to the shoemakers' and see if they're repairable.

This weekend I went swimming for the first time this year!

At the Vineyards

Today we had time to visit the vineyards a few miles from our city. So beautiful! I wore my vintage dress I got last year from Ebay and a blouse that came with a dirndl I found on the fleamarket for only 1 Euro. I know the stupid tote bag with the green bottle kind of ruins it all, but I had to carry something to drink and honestly I didn't think so much about the suitability of bags at 7:30 in the morning when I packed it.

Monday

Today was another nice and sunny day. I worked on my Ebay template, listed something on Etsy, packed a few packages, took some pictures, did errands and had a walk in the park. Did some university research. I also got outbid on this pretty 40's dress on Ebay, which wasn't so nice, but oh well...

Summer

Summer finally came and gave us some hot sunshiny days. I am wearing a very light cotton sun dress from the fleamarket, a thrifted crochet bag and sandals from Ebay.
