outfit post: sage green and white striped vintage dress

Budapest is cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It is even more beautiful at night; believe me, the night scenery is amazing. And it would need another post for this. 

Just like the other looks, for Budapest, I applied the same styling. I mixed vintage with modern pieces; pairing vintage dress with leather jacket and sneakers (for comfort). As the photo shoot required a lot of walking, I wore sneakers instead of vintage heels.

Till my next post, wishing you a wonderful new year and prosperous 2019. 

wanderlust: when in prague...

What I like about when going vintage hunting or thrifting abroad, is that you won't know what to expect and what your's luck; are you going to find that special, one of kind piece? That the question keeps popping up my mind every time I walk into a vintage or thrift store, so does my vintage hunting trip in Prague. 

Initially I was planning to visit at least one store, which was Prague thrift store but I guess I was lucky to came across the other two listed stores. During my visit to Prague Thrift Store, I noticed most of the clothes are preloved, hardly any vintage. But who knows when you visit the store, you may find some lovely vintage pieces? Maybe you have better luck than me?

If you are looking for secondhand or vintage luxury branded items such as clothes, shoes and bags, do visit Vintage Gallery. For secondhand and vintage pieces, check out Secondhand Fifty-Fifty. It maybe a small store but they have pieces for ladies and gents. Worth to visit.

The next stop of my trip is the heart of Europe, Prague, which is also known as Golden City. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Prague has its own charm; to me, it feels like a fairytale land - so magical and yet sometimes mysterious in its own way. My favourite spots are Charles Bridge and Old Town.

This adorable 50s dress was purchased through Instagram. What I love about this dress is not only it fits perfectly but also the buttons details. The dress comes with two pockets too! Who doesn't like a dress with pockets? 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Till my next post, stay chic!

wanderlust: when in vienna...

As Vienna is an interesting city with many beautiful places to visit, it is quite challenging to fit one or two vintage stores into my itinerary. Having said that, I came across Extrachön by accident when I was wandering around in the neighbourhood (District 7). 

The interior of the store is beautifully decorated with chandeliers and red carpet which makes one transports back into another space and time upono entering the store. The store is well-curated from dresses, tops to shoes and accessories. Worth the visit even it's just to check it out.

I wish I had more time to explore the vintage scene in Vienna. Nevertheless, this was a good start and I hope I will have the opportunity to visit Vienna again in the future. 

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Till my next post, stay chic!
