Dress to impress

Today I spend part of my Saturday afternoon at the Dress to Impress vintage fair, and I have to say I saw there so many beautiful items and jewelery! A lot of these fairs take place here in Bucharest and everytime, I see expensive vintage brooches and rings and unique clothes, hand made, or vintage made from velvet - which I adore, or lace! Take a look and see. I also met with Alice from Dulapul Bunicii again and had a little chat which was great; she was participating with her own items as you can see in the picture below.









These dresses are originally from the '20 or '30 which is my favorite era! I simply stood there and stared at them, drooling. It's not very complicated to make such a dress, but to own one from that exact period of time in perfect state, that really is something!



The place where this fair was taken place is a beautiful mansion I could say, with millions of rooms, I was walking in circles,  very old chandeliers and great big windows; I would really like such a house.














Of course I had to buy something! As soon as I set my eyes on this beautiful blue velvet jacket I knew it had to be mine!
I cannot wait to wear it, it's just gorgeous!

I am hoping you'll all have a Happy and Fierce Halloween tomorrow! I think I'll watch Nightmare before Christmas in that night.

  3. I guess this was the fair, eh? Mi-ar fi placut sa vin (and we should definitely meet!) dar mi-ar fi fost imposibil weekendul asta.Maine plec in orasul meu "de bastina":)) iar astazi a trebuit sa ma ocup de niste socoteli aici in Bucuresti(din cauza asta nici nu ti-am raspuns mai repede pentru ca ma gandeam la o solutie sa ajung maine).Anyway, i'm drooling at that jewellery and your velvet jacket, such a beautiful colour! Can't wait to see you wearing it ;;)

  4. It was great seeing you again. I love your maxi dress so much, it’s so romantic and beautiful and the way you paired it with that cozy, long cardigan was super inspired. I already told you I love the velvet jacket you got; I’m also a huge fan of velvet and lace. The pictures you made at the fair are beautiful and yes, I would love to live in a house like that, in fact right about now I would love to live even in an apartment owned by me and not rented.:)

  9. The dress in the fifth picture is so beautiful, I am speechless. The mansion the event took place is just as glamorous and thank you for taking pictures of it to share it with us.
    I think the blue velvet jacket will look great on you thanks to your hair color and bohemian style.
