I heart seahorses

I'm really into maritime accessories lately. I'm still waiting for someone to give me that Alex & Chloe octopus necklace, I've been talking about. But I also like other fish like seahorses for instance. While browsing the internet to search for a seahorse necklace, which isn't too tacky, I came across this cute little necklace from Etsy seller Pollyannacowgirl. She also sells other funny things like the totally adorable Tea with lemon necklace and the Hermit crab necklace and some cute rings. They also come at reasonable prices, I definetely must get some of these when my status of being broke is over.

These Prada Tights

I'm obsessed with these Prada tights for spring, although I never wear tights in spring or summer, because I always associate them with wintery items. But they might be a good idea for rainy days in March or April, even May. Actually I do own tights like these in red. I bought them a few years ago, I can't remember where. I just don't know, what to combine with them, to make them look more springlike. I love the way Prada combines them here with the checkered dress and the silk print dress and with these gold and red sandals. I guess I will be looking for dresses like that for my spring wardrobe.

New Dress

 

I got this dress in the mail today.I ordered it at V for Vintage. I love it, although I think about shortening it a little bit. Since it is so high-necked and has a very full skirt it appears a bit like a little girl's dress. Or maybe I will have to combine it with very high heels in order to feel less girly in it.

The Perfect Sweater

I have been on the hunt for the perfect norwegian sweater quite for a while now, so I was pretty delighted when I found out about these beautiful sweaters by the german label evaw-wave, while I was reading a local magazine. It seems that this is their first winter collection which is called Oslo-Go-Slow and before they have been doing mainly bathing and swimwear. Actually, I do like the winter collection much better, maybe because I only go swimming like once in a year or maybe because I always had a thing for deers. I think I'm gonna get the orange sweater, I really like that it is so long, so it can be also worn as a dress.

Grumpy

Today we collected my vintage Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, that I got from ebay, from the customs duty office. I didn't have to pay anything, but unfortunately the shoes don't fit. They are marked a US size 7, but the seller said they would fit like an 8. I guess not so. So I think I'm going to put these up on Ebay again, but still I'm a little bit grumpy now.

Crochet Dress

I got this crochet dress on Ebay a while ago and today it arrived in the mail. It's amazing, because it seems to be all handmade it must have been a lot of work to make it. And I got it for only 10€. It also comes with a little jacket. The strangest thing is, the seller sold it as a dress from the 70ies, but it appears to be much older, like from the 20ies, because it is so fragile, but I don't know exactly, it has an insewn slip underneath which seems to be a polyblend. I don't know since when this material was made. The 50ies I think. Anyhow this is a very beautiful dress for spring.

Alex & Chloe

I love the necklaces of Alex and Chloe, especially the one with the octopus. It also comes as a brooch. This is something I might really want to get as a Christmas present, so I guess I have to spread the word... It would give rather simple dresses, blouses or T-Shirts this kind of odd look, that I love. You can buy these necklaces at their online shop here.
