Vintage Shoes with Sunflowers

I put up some new shoes on Etsy this week. Also I'm trying this new picture editing software for my blog now. I always admire people with these beautiful picture collages and backgrounds on their blogs and I never know how they do it. I know, this blog has been pretty dead lately. I'm trying to revive it though.

About Fleamarketing

I'm not good at bargaining, which I think is essential when going to a fleamarket. There are just days when I'm too shy to beat down the seller, although it is obvious that he or she would set the price a bit higher than what they would finally sell their item for. At least that is what I would do. I don't like it when sellers tell you a ridiculously high price just to sell it for half of it or less. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for bargaining. Sometimes I am, and beating down the prices and get things for 1 Euro or something leave me feeling very satisfied and happy. I don't know, why it's not always this way. I got these boots this weekend for 3 Euro, which I think is a very good price, although I didn't bargain.

Milan

Today while browsing through the pictures from Milan Fashion Week on style.com, I liked Marni the most. I loved the mixture of colours and patterns and the knee socks. I especially liked tha blue and white dotted dress on the first picture, which makes me realize I have to look for a blue dotted vintage dress on Ebay or on the fleamarkets coming this weekend.

The Trashy Diva

There have been some complaints lately about someone copying the dress of an independent designer, fully justified complaints by the way. The good thing about it was though, that they called my attention to The Trashy Diva in the first place. Otherwise I would have never known about it. And not only is this specific dress beautiful, I found lots of other wonderful dresses made of beautiful patterned fabrics. Pictured above are my three favourites. I will definetely go back there some time soon.

Luck of Rain

I went thrifting today and I already had spent a few hours in the thrift store and found lots of things, when suddenly a huge thunderstorm emerged and forced me to stay a little longer. I guess I was lucky, because I haven't been looking at the sunglasses until then and look what I found: a pair of vintage authentic 1970's sunglasses from Balenciaga and also a pair of Chloe sunglasses, which might also be from the 1970's or maybe 1980's.

Top down: Balenciaga sunglasses, vintage 1970's noname sunglasses, vintage Polaroid sunglasses, vintage Chloe sunglasses. I think all of these probably may have belonged to the same person, because the rest of the sunglasses they had there were all crap. I might sell these on Ebay eventually and only keep one of them for myself.

New shoes and a Swimsuit

These are my latest purchases. Both shoes are from Ebay. The brown sandals were sold as true vintage 1970's sandals, but I guess they're not. They could be from Zara or something, but I like them anyways.

The swimsuit is thrifted and from the 1970's. It is actually a kids swimsuit but luckily I do fit into it. I got it for 1.50 €. I haven't worn swimsuits in ages, but I think with this one I could start again.

Threadless Summer Sale

Threadless is having a huge sale again, so you can grab a T-Shirt for only 10$. I wanted to buy this kitty shirt for some time now, unfortunately they had only 8 left this morning and I didn't have my credit card with me to order straight away. So these are sold out now in my size, I will have to try out the smaller size though and hope that it fits. I'm also looking for a white T-Shirt with a nice smaller print, so I'm going to order the one with the panda bear as well.
