Oxfords at Flea Market

Yesterday I decided to take a look at the flea market - Feira da Ladra, the oldest fair of Lisbon where you can find absolutely  everything you can imagine and what you can not imagine too. Sometimes it becomesquite surreal . I brought home with me these old man oxfords  for 5 € and pair of Levis, I think I'm becoming addicted to these fun of bargaining...


 

Vintage swimming shorts

I just got this amazing vintage swimming shorts from my grandma's closet. It makes laugh how few decades ago this was suposed to be the most uncovered you could be and now we look at them just as some shorts you can wear in the summer.

Sienna Miller's favourite: Isabel Marant's fur Jacket - 6 Looks






Assault on my Granny's closet


If I had to get stuck in a decade I would clearly choose 1950's glamour, with its smashing retro silhouettes. I would use every day my long gloves full of rings and a fancy headscarf while walking around. Maybe I love all the mistery behind that...

So some weeks ago when I had the chance to pick steal some of my gradma's clothes I got super happy. I already love vintage clothes but when they're made by my grandma I'm on the moon. She used to be a great seamstress and did a lot my clothes when I was young. Here is a wool pleated skirt she did for my mom that I really like and fortunately is my size. enjoy it!

Today I'm showing you my favourite swimwear brasilian brand: Agua de coco
Here is the summer 2010 collection and so worth to take a peek inside, unfortunately 2011 campaign is not yet available in the website but I'm sure it will be as fantastic as this one

"Água de Coco by Liana Thomaz brings up a wide range of bikinis, one-pieces, long-dresses, cover-ups, bags and accessories for women and swimwear, bermudas and shorts for the male public."


Spring has sprung..
