A browse in vintage heaven ....


Where has the time gone. I can clearly remember putting my last post on here wishing you a happy Christmas and New Year, and all of a sudden it's already February.

We've been quite busy moving furniture around, clearing out a lot of unnecessary stuff and making preparations for the construction of a second bathroom. 
You can imagine blogging wasn't high on my list the last few weeks.

Lately I'm regularly approached to host a giveaway or do a review for different brands. Because I want to keep my blog close to my heart, I've never accept such an offer.... until now.
By clearing the house, the attic is almost empty and soon I will be the owner of my own sewing room. 
So when I was invited by Chairish to create a style board around one of their vintage armoires in use for creative storage, it was right up my street.
Not only I'm in love of everything vintage but also could use some inspiration for my -soon to be- sewing room. 

It was my first encounter with this on line marketplace for all lovers of design/vintage furniture and home accessories, and pleasantly surprised with the wide range of styles. 
I would almost think I'm in need for a bigger attic because of all the beautiful items I've seen.
Here's a mood board with my favourites ....








Though my attic is by far not big enough for all these lovely pieces of furniture, I've gained enough inspiration to fill my entire home.
It won't be long now before the bathroom is finished and the transformation of the attic into a sewing room can begin.
I just can't wait to lift sewing to a next level - have a lovely weekend all!

Fashion in the category warm and comfy..

I see myself as a pretty loyal person. And not just - the most important - to people but (please don't laugh) also concerning my clothes.
When I find something really nice and comfortable I wear it until it's completely worn. This also happened to one of my most favourite winter coats last year .The one who is always hanging on the peg and almost suits every garment.
I think you can easily recall the long winter we had last year so you'll understand that I had to buy a new one. Not an easy task at the end of the season and then also having something in mind that doesn't exist ....

I ended up with a coat that wasn't really me and I also made the mistake to buy one without pockets which I thought I would get used to it .... well I didn't!!

So to have more success this year, I did some "research" and found all this beauty which I like to share with you ....


Manila Grace


Louis Vuitton


 Toast





Sally Scott



Neil Barrett


Miu Miu


Valentino


Chanel



Rochas


Cabbages & Roses


Max Mara


Stella McCartney

Browsing on the Internet has brought me enough inspiration for upcoming fall/winter and not only in coats. I also got inspired to update my current winter clothing with some new purchases to transform into 2013.
And further I found these accessories to complement a winter coat ....

I'm really in love with the structure of the fabric and the colour is so me.
And most of all , look at those pockets ....





Guess I won't be needing my new coat real soon because they predict an Indian summer for the next few days.

So enjoy .... and have a lovely weekend!
