“I want the fairy tale”

EN: Whether you are a fashionista, a clothes collector or just interested in fashion, you gotta love vintage! There is something special about objects from the past, not knowing where they’ve been, who have they been worn by, on what occasion, how much did they cost and so on; it’s a wonderful feeling that makes you (or me at least) think about the item’s history and value it even more.
I discovered vintage a few years ago and ever since I’ve been drawn to scouring local thrift shops just hoping I’ll stumble across a gorgeous 1950’s crinoline dress, a Chanel suit or some big glamorous hats. Still working to find that Chanel suit but I did find a lot of other goodies that are very dear to me and make me feel special every time I wear them.
The dress I’m wearing today is a vintage Louis Feraud number that I bought online a few months ago. It’s made from a very soft silk, it’s perfectly fitted for my body shape and it has this cute sash line which is supposed to be used as a belt. However, my two left hands are incapable of doing a pretty bow, so, as you can see, I decided to use it as a headscarf.
Somehow it reminds me about Julia Roberts in “Pretty woman”… Got the dress, now the only thing I need in my life is a Richard Gere. Yummy.

RO: Indiferent ca esti o fashionista, o colectionara de haine sau doar pasionata de moda, nu ai cum sa nu iubesti vintageul! Pentru mine, fiecare obiect din trecut are ceva special, o aura misterioasa creata din nestiinta. Nestiinta locului din care provine, a oamenilor care l-au posedat/purtat sau a pretului platit ; e un sentiment minunat care te face (sau cel putin pe mine ma face) sa te gandesti la trecutul obiectului si sa-l valorezi chiar mai mult decat o faci.
Am descoperit vintageul acum cativa ani si de atunci, deseori mi se intampla sa-mi petrec timpul prin second handuri locale cotrobaind, cautand, rasfirand umerase, in cautare de…o rochie cu crinolina din anii 50 sa zicem. Sau un costum Chanel. Sau macar niste palarii mari, opulente. Inca lucrez la partea cu gasirea costumului Chanel dar, in schimb, am gasit multe alte “comori”, foarte dragi mie si care ma fac sa ma simt special de fiecare data cand le imbrac.
Rochia pe care o port in postarea de astazi este o piesa vintage Louis Feraud, cumparata de pe un blog autohton in vara aceasta. E facuta dintr-o matase foarte fina, vine ca turnata pe forma corpului meu si are si aceasta bucata de material, pe care, banuiesc ca ar trebui sa o folosesc pe post de curea. Evident ca nu-s in stare sa fac o funda decenta, astfel ca o port ca esarfa legata pe cap. Intr-un fel imi aduce aminte de Julia Roberts in “Pretty woman”… E bine zic. Rochia o am, ce mai imi trebuie acum e un Richard Gere. Yummy.
