... new years eve ... we shot this look in the kitchen before we left for the party ... sorry, the shots are less glamorous and so blurry ... blazer: h&m // golden belt: came with a vintage dress // vintage dress: thrifted // shoes: old vagabond // necklace: thrifted // earrings: from my mum

berlin thrift finds .... pink and red dresses from humana store, creme coloured dress from trash-schick (friedrichshain, wülischstr. 31) // pin up pictures, not thrifted // denim shorts from colours-kleidermarkt store in kreuzberg, bergmannstr.) // vintage boots from jumbo second hand (kreuzberg, wiener str. 63) ... not pictured: a black velvet skirt (has to get shortened) and a light black maxi skirt from humana too ...

finally i'm back from berlin ... my friends and i spent an amazing time there with loads of rock n roll music, beers, delicious (indian) food, cocktails, less sleep and thirft shopping! this city is far too great not to think about moving there ... but there's one reason to stay in a provincial city: thrift shopping!!! vintage and thrift stores are so expensive in berlin. even in charity shops like humana you have to spend much more money on the same things than in smaller cities. okokok, you're right - the assortment of goods is so huge in berlin ... i haven't seen so much colourful dresses, skirts, tops and jackets from different decades in only one store for such a long time.

did you already went thrift shopping in 2012? tell me about your newest finds ...

MAKE LOVE WORK

2012-01-06T20:07:00.001+01:00

Zünde alle deine Feuer,
gib mir was woran ich glaub,
mit beiden Händen an den Sternen,
frei von Asche und von Staub.
Tauch die Welt in neues Licht,
dein Schatten fällt doch nie auf dich.
Zünd dein Herz an, lass es brennen,
uns kann nichts vom Leben trennen.

Wir werden immer nen Moment verpassen,
Hör nie auf damit, den Himmel anzufassen.
Komm, renn der Sonne entgegen,
geh nicht in die Knie,
was spricht dagegen?
Der Morgen stirbt nie.

Zünd dein Leben an,
make love work!
Hör nie auf anzufangen,
setz den Raum in Flammen!
Zünd dein Leben an,
make love work!
Hör nie auf anzufangen,
setz den Raum in Flammen!

Gib mir was, wofür ich lebe,
für das ich Brücken schlagen kann,
Zeit, die Uhren auf null zu drehen,
mach die Morgensonne an.
Du hast dein Ticket schon gebucht,
Du weisst, die Welt ist nicht genug,
Zünd dein Feuer an, wir gehen
bis wir uns hinterm Regen sehen.

Wir werden immer nen Moment verpassen,
Hör nie auf damit, den Himmel anzufassen.
Komm, renn der Sonne entgegen,
geh nicht in die Knie,
was spricht dagegen?
Der Morgen stirbt nie.

Zünd dein Leben an,
make love work!

i spent this weekend at my hometown, the last time for 4 weeks... when i came home i actually wanted to visit all my favourite blogs this sunday evening. but when i started posting, a friend invited my very spontaneously to go with him to the premiere of rigoletto (opera). i managed to get dressed and to put my make up on in just a few minutes, while i was trying to have some toasts at the same time... heeeheehee... i think, i was never dressed so precious in such a short time (without having some cream cheese on my clothes).

this month work will eat up most of the time, i'll try to do my best to post as much as possible... i'll be back.

oh ... welcome my new followers (little more then 250). thank you so much for your support and stopping by... it means a lot!

PS: nonono, the pictures above doesn't show the (opera) outfit i'm talking about in this post ... this is the look i just wore on past saturday ...

some weeks ago two awards were passed onto me ... the 'tell me about yourself'-award was send to me by the darling grace and amazing and lovely carla from cougar vintage (i adore her style!) and 'liebster blog'-award (favourite blog) from cutest presley of young vintage girl. thank you girls!!!

1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you
2. Write 7 random things about yourself
3. Spread the love to 15 more bloggers

And here are 7 random things about me that I would like to share with you:
1) my favourite place on earth is: home - home is wherever i'm with my friends and family :)

- this is up to you ... mary mur
2) i'm waiting for a new love
3) i don't like winter cold
4) bollywood dancing makes me happier than thrift shopping!
5) i'm afraid about this financial status in europe and the usa ...
6) ... and i'm proud about those who are raising their voices (demonstrations in ny-wall street, frankfurt- europäische zentral bank and other places ...)
7) a banal point of few to end this list: ... i'm totally bored about those lita shoes ... sorry.

i pass the tell me about yourself'-award on to:

Cold Sunday

2011-10-16T12:09:00.001+02:00

today i leave you with past sunday's outfit, shot this photo before having delicious cake and latte machiato with my best friend...

this pleated sheer skirt - thrifted past saturday - is really great. it has it's own underskirt. it's made from warming jersey and looks like a clinging mini skirt. maybe this under skirt is a little bit too short, i feel a little naked wearing it. perhaps i have to add an extra underskirt ... what do you think?

October Is The New August

2011-10-03T15:30:00.001+02:00

this is what i wore on saturday ... a comfy outfit on a hot summer day in fall ... shirt with lace details: orsay (sale) // 90s skirt worn as a dress: kleider machen beute, fashion flea market // vintage belt: flea market // wedges: pimkie // vintage bag: charity shop // necklace: thrifted // bracelets: flea market ...

on saturday i went high street shopping ... it's mid season sale at most of the stores . i spent some money at good old h&m ... what did i found?! a comfy black blazer (15 €// old price: 30 €), a over sized laze blazer (15€ // old price: 39€) and two dresses for 10€ each... i changed the pleated dress into a skirt, because i already have a pleated vintage dress in nearly the same colour.

Office Girl ... Less Light

2011-10-01T23:06:00.002+02:00

dealing with less light in the evening ... cardi: anne christine // vintage dress: flea market // vintage belt: flea market // vintage shoes: hush puppies, flea market // vintage bag: another flea market ... luckily my camera has some options to brighten up the pictures ...

dealing with the morning light ... cardi: c&a // tee: h&m // vintage skirt: ebay // vintage belt: aigner, thrifted // shoes: no name // vintage straw bag: past saturdays flea market // bracelets & necklaces: flea markets and thrifted ... blinded by the morning sun. look at my little half shut eyes.

i'm so afraid of winter and darkness ... less light makes me feel tiered and a little depressive normally. as being a full time worker and a fashion bloggerette at the same time - i get totally scared when i think about short days and long dark nights.
how did i manage to take outfit shots in winter last year. i really don't remember ... what did you do to get proper outfit shots?! ... and what will you do this winter?

anyway ... light or not light ... suddenly it turned quite warm here in germany. i threw my tights back into the closet and feel quite summery.

Kleider Machen Beute #4

2011-09-20T20:26:00.001+02:00

today i leave you with some pictures from kleider machen beute.

on sunday my friends and i hosted our 4th fashion flea market. the weather turned very well during the day and lots of fashion loving girls -i don't know how much of them- came to join us. once again full racks turned empty and girls shopping bags got full as a tick. hopefully you had as much fun as we had and you found some new favourite pieces.

for the first time i had enough time to pay a little stroll over the market to check out some vendors and find some nice bargains ... i'll show you next time.

Istanbul Shopping

2011-09-01T16:27:00.005+02:00

wearing my new lace top from istanbul ... lace top: topshop, little mall on ikstiklal caddesi (9,50€) // skirt: blacky dress, thrifted // little leather belt: h&m // vintage cowboy boots: flea market // vintage straw bag: flea market // vintage necklace: flea market

nude maxi skirt from istanbul ... vintage blazer: flea market, altered // vintage top: thrifted // skirt: grand bazaar, istanbul (ca. 8 €) // belt: h&m // platform sandals: kmb // vintage bag: thrifted // heart necklace and bracelet: flea market ...

my personal istanbul shopping guide

some of you asked me about shopping in instanbul. beside breath taking delicious food, an amazingly diversified nightlife (my favourite: balkan beat partys at club araf in the quarter of taksim) and lots of historical sights – of course – istanbul presents a lot of different oppertunitys to lavish your money on nearly everything you want. … and maybe on some pieces you even didn’t knew that you wanted them before…

so here is my little shopping guide for fashion lovers …

a different way of low priced high street shopping on beyoglu … on istiklal caddesi (istiklal street) you find those popular stores like bershka, topshop, benetton, zara and many more next to some pretty cool turkish labels and boutiques. the most interesting of this street are the little malls hiding between the windows of those big stores. these malls offer mostly highstreet labels aswell but on the pieces you will spent less, less, less money than in the official stores on istiklal caddesi. those who like to buy denim pants like levi’s and friends will loose their minds in there. … go there with your men. attention: some of these tiny stores sell pieces with little damages, so open your eyes widely to get sure your new lace top or band tee is ok!

belly dance belt (6 €) and my harem pants (7 €) from grand bazaar.

vintage shopping: there’s a vintage fashion store (sorry i lost it’s visiting card and can’t remember it’s name) on galipdedec caddesi (near station tünel) gorgeous vintage fashion and accessories from all decades for girls and boys. sadly this place is very smelly and clammy. I was really afraid to buy anything, even though i found some gorgeous unique skirts, blouses and dresses there.

those of you who aren’t afraid of shipping lovely vintage furniture, delicate chandeliers or strange looking but hardly wanted knick-knack has to stroll through the alleys of the quarters of cihangir and galataseray. i'd love to have these stores in my town!

yes, a friend bought this replica of an old diving helmet in a vintage store ...

i still want this cute 50s chair in my flat ...

my favourite place for shopping is the capali carsi/grand bazaar at the historic district/eminönü. to get there, just go through the covered misir carsisi/egypt bazaar, it’s entry is near yeni camii/yeni mosque. the misir carsisi itself is quite beautiful but very expensive and touristy. you can get most offered goods on the bazaar for less money.

when you leave the egypt bazaar, you enter the grand bazaar. the little alleys are filled with sedulous people doing their daily shopping. you can get there really everything ... headscarves, spicery, kitchen utensils, sweets like lokum, harempants, summery dresses and hippy-esque skirts, gorgeous business suits, shoes, high heels, lovely scrolled spigots and hand grips, nails and screws, leather belts, bags, sparkling bachelorette costumes, amazing wedding dresses and evening gowns, leather goods, faux designer bags ... , ... , ... , .... and sewing goods of high quality. when you love sewing your own clothes, you find on this bazaar anything you need! there are little shops just for belt buckles (just selling belt buckles!), or buttons and studs (just selling buttons!), or subtle handmade appliqués (just selling appliqués!) or wonderful laces (...selling appliqués too). my friends i went with to istanbul sew rococo and other historic costumes in their free time. they go there twice a year to get their hands on precious fabrics and other treasures for sewing. it's just like 1001 night!

it's a dream - but not only for sewing maniacs. when you're a lover for oriental/belly dance you'll find there all you're looking for - of course. but i didn't knew, that i would find so much low priced items i can use for burlesque dancing!!! feather boas, amazing headpieces made from feathers, formed fabrics or tiny hats, long armed gloves, corsages, stockings ...
i didn't bought anything at the covered part of the grand bazaar. it was horrible there, the sellers are so tout. just go there when you know, you want to buy high quality leather bags (amazing designs, some you may know from some popular design labels) or leather jackets ... or fur :( ... or even an oriental carpet. everything else you should buy somewhere else on the bazaar. then you pay less than the half prize.

if you go to istanbul one day, have lots of fun. ... don't forget to get a glass of fresh nar juice/pomegranate juice. it's so delicious... i can't wait to go there again.

some finds from my 'birthday flea market' (it took place on the same saturday like my bd) ... 2 seventies dresses, a leopard skirt, a beige/golden skirt (not pictured), bag and shoes ... and 2 more ladies to cover the white wall ... i can't tell you which girl is my fav: the gipsy or marie antoinette?!

i'm so thankful about two sunny saturdays to spend the mornings on some nice flea markets. this rainy and cold summer i missed a lot of my most beloved markets ... i'll keep my fingers crossed for the next weekend. another little market is waiting for me then - (hopefully).

Comfy Or Not

2011-08-07T13:11:00.000+02:00

flared denim for office ... blazer: charity shop // blouse: primark // denim pants: h&m // belt: vintage shop // LV bag: flea market // sandals: deichmann // necklace with leaves: flea market ...

boheme denim ... vintage night coat: flea market // top: h&m // pants: h&m // vintage belt: thrifted // sandals: akira // vintage straw clutch: flea market // wild cat ring: thrifted (i saw this kind of ring a lot in the past weeks ...)

as being a girl in a denim pants-world - who is not wearing denim pants a lot... friends and co-workers always ask me, why i'm wearing so uncomfortable dresses and skirts everyday. common denim pants would be much more comfy at work, they say. 'i see. - more comfy. thank you.'

some weeks ago i got this almost high waisted flared jeans. i was looking for a pair like this for months... i really love how it looks on me... the first few times i wore these pants, i truly felt so cramped and nipped by the thick fabric. at all time i wear jeans i feel like this! anyway, this fall i will wear them a lot, because their perfect for colder days and they look quite good - but they're not too comfy! believe me!

Jungle Skirt

2011-07-10T17:53:00.001+02:00

can't wait to wear this skirt as a dress ... vintage silk top: thrifted // skirt: thrifted // belt: flea market // sandals: h&m // bag: flea market // vintage necklace: flea market...

... there's a little story behind my so called jungle skirt ... some weeks ago i found it at the local oxfam thrift store and fell in love with it's wild wild print. but when i noticed it's size, i didn't even tried it on (far tooooo big). for normal i don't care about the sizes of vintage and thrift clothes. when i like a piece and it looks like it could fit me somehow, i take it to the changing room. this time i did not. and everything was fine.

some days after i came across this fashionable lady (cherryhumbug) wearing a fabulous vintage shirt with a quite similar print and colour. after i saw this amazingly styled jungle/tiger-blouse i went totally nuts... i wanted this skirt from oxfam so much. it took three more days, till i had the chance to leave work earlier and spent a little visit to the store. as you can see in the photos, i was delightful to get my hands on it.

finally i like to answer these questions by mary mur today - i already promised some days ago.

1. Why did you create a blog?
2. For whom you taking him? Want to be popular?
3. How long will it keep going?

1. if you're living in germany - but not living in berlin, cologne or hamburg - most people around are dressed like a mannequin of a high street shop window or they're even wearing clothes, because it's forbidden to go naked. germans are MODEMUFFEL , means: they prefer comfy and cozy pieces all over the day. denim pants, a tee and a pair of sneakers are everything they need and want. they don't want to attract attention...

three years ago i started fashion blogging, because i just wanted to get in contact with other fashion and vintage lovers. i hoped to find some inspiration, maybe to be a little inspiration to others... i just liked to share my insane love for old fashion in today's world.

i really feel lucky to have found a lot of amazing ladies around the world, who are sharing the same interest in going thrift shopping, wearing old dresses, shoes and bags... and every girl is so unique.

so it's time to say: thank you girls for doing such a good job!

2. this blog is for everybody who likes to step by... when you don't like what you see and read, please, go anywhere else.

i don't set out to be popular or even famous. i'm almost a common girl - no fashion icon, no designer, no it-girl - just me!

3. i really don't know. stay tuned, you will see how long this blog will run ...

Get Ready!

2011-06-14T21:03:00.000+02:00

lipstick missing! this is what i wore at my friends wedding on saturday. i forgot my lipstick at home ... i was waiting for a friend who wanted to get me one.... so my face looks as white as the wall on these pics... i'm so sorry, no better photos this time ... lace blazer: h&m (removed a big bow from it's front) // vintage skirt worn as a dress: flea market // moschino belt: flea market // peep toes: new yorker // necklace: flea market // bag: flea market ... all in all i paid for this look less than 65€!

this is the garden the wedding took place... i really loved the idea of the get ready station. there were flowered kleenex to dry the tears of happiness... a little book with the lyrics of songs of keane, coldplay and german band mia which were sung during the ceremony ... and different coloured pashmina foulards for every girl. so lovely!

Time For Office Girl

flowers on velvet ... vintage velvet jacket: thrifted // top: h&m // pants: zara // belt: thrifted // vintage flats: charity store // bag: gifted // heart necklace: flea market

there's one day left of this work week and there's much work to do these days. but today i' m packing my bags for a little trip again. it's the third weekend in a row i wont stay at home. this time i will go to a good friends wedding ... i' m so excited to meet old friends from school ... wearing a bright coloured dress ...
my stomach still makes me feel a little weak. hopefully i will stand a long journey by car, a lot of delicious food and some nice drinks... i' ll be back on monday! have a nice weekend.

Sick In Tulle

2011-06-07T22:37:00.001+02:00

this outfit is how i started in the past bank holiday weekend ... still feeling well and healthy ... wearing my new tulle skirt ... vintage blouse: thrifted // skirt: h&m // vintage belt: thrifted // shoes: siemes schuhcenter // bag: thirfted // necklace: flea market ... i visited my mum. sadly i got sick... i hadn't brought another skirt or pants for this weekend... just a tulle skirt (and a lot of fancy and rocking tops and tees).

... this is how i went home on sunday ... tee: h&m // skirt: h&m // vintage belt: flea market // flats: h&m // vintage bag: flea market // bracelets: flea markets ... very strange to wear a flashy tulle skirt when you still feel quite unsound and the only thing you want to wear is a pair of cozy jogging pants.

there's so much work at the office these days... not much time left to stopp by my favourite blogs or even comment on. the next days and weeks (?) i'll try to entertain you with some outfit posts - but i will comment less on your amazing blogs sadly. i'm still here, still watching ... less talking.

Silk On Top

pink silk blouse for work ... vintage blouse: flea market // vintage skirt: thrifted // loepard spotted belt: old h&m // platform sandals: kmb // straw bag: flea market // bracelet und necklace: flea market and thrifted

flowered silk top for work ... handmade top: thrifted // vintage skirt: ebay // vintage belt: thrifted // sandals: h&m // bag: flea market // bracelets: flea markets // bamboo earrings: hottie, ny

this time i'm totally mad about silk blouses and tops. i love how they feel on your skin... but i hate washing them! hand wash only. or even more worse: dry cleaning.

Hurt

2011-05-17T22:53:00.000+02:00

this is what happens to vintage pieces sometimes ... they get old and weak ... they get hurt ... vintage dress: ebay // denim jacket: thrifted // belt: flea market // shoes: flea market // straw bag: flea market // bracelets: flea market ...

this dress is one of my all time favourites. i'm broken-hearted! this sleeve has to be fixed somehow. i don't want to loose my beloved dress, because of that nasty rip... but the fabric has got quite weak around it. help! any ideas?!
