On Wednesday I took Karin to one of my favorite vintage shops in New York – Beacon’s Closet in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The sun was shining and we went for gingerbread cookies and chai tea before getting in. That’s because my experience tells me that you need to come rested and with a lot of energy [...]

This outfit has been my uniform during at least three days this week, I thought it was about time I caught it on camera! The blue polkadot dress is a vintage find I made a few years ago. If I’m not mistaken its from Beyond Retro in Stockholm. It is very light and thin which [...]

I found this 70′s maxi dress at Beacon’s Closet in Williamsburg around six months ago. It was one of those dresses that you try on and feel like it was made exactly for you – both when it comes to style and fit. It is long enough to sweep the ground, even with 5 inches [...]

I have really missed Beyond Retro the last year in Philly, I remember it as my favorite vintage store when living in Stockholm. So last week I dropped by to do some shopping. The entrance gives you a taste of what to expect! 90210-inspired denim shirts! Fabulous tulle skirts. I wish I had one in [...]

Today is my baby’s Birthday but we started celebrating already yesterday evening. I decided the evening would have a 1950′s theme and made some secret plans. We jumped into some fancy outfits and went to this place. It was like walking into a restaurant in Manhattan in the end of the 50′s – dark woods [...]

No it’s not a souvenir from our last vacation in Los Cabos – this navy blue mexican dress with white embroideries is a vintage find from Beacon’s Closet. When I bought it last summer it was a maxi dress. It looked too much like a nightie so I re-made it into a shorter version. This [...]

In the Tuesday sunset on our balcony I snapped these shots of my new vintage, knitted top that I got at Beacon’t Closet this Monday. It is a warm yellow color, on the borderline between yellow and orange. I might be too shapeless to suit me but I don’t care, I like the casual look. [...]

This is one of the things that I got on Monday in Williamsburg. A red, vintage dress in 100% silk, think I payed around $15 for it. It doesn’t look that much at first but the quality of it is just great, and my idea is to change the buttons, maybe into wooden ones. Then I’m [...]
