Only two post in 2019! This was the longest hiatus, ever. And I apologise for this. There has been a lot going on; new life in a new city and country, the pandemic, just to name a couple of the reasons. In addition to that, with different social media platforms in the cyberworld, I was torn whether to keep blogging or just focusing on Instagram (although my Instagram at that point as well as at the time of writing isn't focusing on vintage or thrifting at all). </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Out of the blue, I checked out my blog (last night) and had a stroll down the memory lane. I felt life back then seems more interesting and fun (not sure if this was due to the pandemic). Perhaps I should give this another go? Just enjoy the writing process and sharing experiences...</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I'm curious and wondering, is anyone out there still blogging? If you, somehow, by chance stumble upon my humble little blog, thanks in advance for your visit. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Till my next post, I hope and wish everyone has a wonderful (and healthy) year ahead! </span></p>Kaelyn Choohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05783462298044615308noreply@blogger.com0London, UK51.5072178 -0.127586223.196983963821154 -35.2838362 79.817451636178845 35.0286638tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8969894684679207310.post-24513357869742236812019-04-14T01:12:00.001+08:002019-04-14T01:12:48.393+08:00frock me! vintage fashion fair <div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last month<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, I had the opportunity to visit Frock Me! Vintage Fashion Fair in Kensington, London. It was a total breath of fresh air and such as different vintage scene compares to Hong Kong. As I moved from one stall to another stall, I went ooh and ahh, drooling over lovely vintage pieces especially from 1930s, 1940s and vintage hungarian embroidered blouses. If only I don't need to worry about my purse, I would go for a shopping spree... </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a little confession to make. Lately I have this obession of vintage hungarian embroidery top. Not sure how it started or is this just a phase, but for the past few months, I have been looking for it. Therefore my trip to Hungary would have given me the opportunity to find it. However, I have no luck. Well there is always another source to find, like on Etsy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, in my trip, I visited two vintage stores which I came across by accident whilst exploring the neighbourhoods. Oh wow, lucky me! I didn't even need to add into my itinerary. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My first encounter with Humana was in Spain. So it is no stranger to me. The interesting thing with Humana in Astoria or perhaps in Budapest, is their happy hour. The happy hour is a period of time when there is reduction on selected item, for instances, additional discount for winter wear such as coats and jackets. Cool move, isn't it? </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Szputnyik shop is well curated with both vintage and modern pieces for women and men from tops to shoes. They own an online shop as well. For vintage dresses, I think the pieces are mostly from 70s to 90s. Perhaps during my visit, pieces from earlier era have been sold out? The shop is still worth to visit. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">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. <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; display: inline; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">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?</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favourite spots are Charles Bridge and Old Town. </span></div>

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? </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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 Extrach<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #333333; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 26.88px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">ö</span>n by accident when I was wandering around in the neighbourhood (District 7). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whilst I was away from blogging, besides work, I travelled to Europe for a 2-week holiday. It was an amazing trip and wonderful experience. First stop was Vienna, Austria. Vienna is a beatiful city; interesting architures, beautiful parks, good coffee and pastries such as sachertorte to name a few things that I have enjoyed in my trip. </span></div>

I guess whilst 'waiting' I have forgotten about it until I was planning for the trip. I think the dress really stands out in the photos and it is a really pretty dress. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not far from Eiffel Tower, just walk along the Seine River towards the Lourve Museum, do stop by at the YSL museum. The museum was opened in October 2017 and it is located at 5 avenue Marceau. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The museum focuses on the couturier's creative genius and the process of designing a haute couture collection.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was good to visit Paris again. I guess, I was lucky. During this trip, I planned to visit a vintage store and I picked Mamie Blue, which I did not manage to visit in the past trip. And it did not disappoint. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a quick chat with the owner (I assume) who is a friendly lady who asked how I discovered the shop and where I came from. After replying her questions, she reminded me that there are more items downstairs before she headed down. The shop is well curated with lovely vintage pieces of different eras of accessories and clothes. I felt like a kid in a candy store; so much to see and not sure where to begin...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the highlights of my trip to Bath is the fashion museum. It is said that the <a href="https://www.fashionmuseum.co.uk/" target="_blank">Fashion Museum Bath</a> is one of the world's greatest museum collections of historical and contemporary dress. During my visit, currently there are exhibiting two exhibitions; a History of Fashion in 100 Objects (now until 1 January 2019) and Royal Women (now until 28 April 2019). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The History of Fashion in 100 Objects will take you on a fashion journey through time from the 1600s to the present day, giving you the opportunity to take a closer look at the lovely curated pieces. The Royal Women exhibition looks at dress worn by Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. Each piece tells a story and how these royalities chose to present themselves. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://visitbath.co.uk/" target="_blank">Bath</a> is well-known for its Roman built-baths and the city was declared as UNESCO world heritage site in 1987. The combination of Roman remains with elegant Georgian architecture makes Bath one of the most histrocially interesting places in the UK. As for me, Roman baths is not really my thing... so as usual I go for vintage hunting and Bath Fashion Museum (tcoming in the next post). There are a number of vintage stores and many charity shops and I selected few to check out in my trip. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First of all, I would like to apologize for neglecting my blog in the past months... I was travelling for work but was fortunate to have some personal time to do the things that I love. And I think you can guess what were on my to-do-list. Yes, vintage hunting (either for purely checking it out or shopping)! This time, I checked out Brick Lane Vintage Market. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As I entered the shop, the shelves full of vintage shoes got my attention. Let me tell you a little secret, I almost bought a pair of 40s/50s black suede pumps... I even tried them on and then I know I should not asked myself this <i>"Do I really need another pair of vintage pumps?" </i>but I did. And automatically I put them back on the shelf where they belong... </span></div>

We were taught on how to sew beads and sequins following the samples given. Each of us was given the chance to choose one piece that we would like to work on. I chose medium size star. By the end of the exhibition, they are hoping all the stars are completed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of the time when I was on vintage hunting trips, luck was hardly on my side. However during the vintage hunting trips in Paris and London, I had a little bit of luck and also some extra money to spend - my so called vintage fashion fund. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/77856081@N05/37594382645/in/dateposted-public/" nbsp="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="vintage slip"><img alt="vintage slip" height="400" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4549/37594382645_58686b904d.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Vintage slip (perhaps from the 50s)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/77856081@N05/26705189499/in/dateposted-public/" nbsp="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="vintage buttons"><img alt="vintage buttons" height="300" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4554/26705189499_c16a9cac1f.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Vintage mother of pearl buttons</span> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I bought the vintage slip and vintage buttons from a store in Les Puces. And I also for the first time I tried bargaining as there few stains on the vintage slip - just trying to push my luck a little. Well, if you don't ask, you will never know. The seller was kind enough to offer some reduction. As for the vintage buttons, I bought them for future sewing projects. Mostly probably a blouse or top. </span> </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/77856081@N05/37594383495/in/dateposted-public/" nbsp="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="vintage dress"><img alt="vintage dress" height="400" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4558/37594383495_8671626dbb.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Vintage 90s does 50s dress</span> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I was in London, I stayed in Notting Hill area and everyday, I passed by a vintage shop with no opening hours information. Such a mysterious shop! One Saturday afternoon, I purposely walked pass the shop hoping it would open. And indeed it was opened for business. Whether I had luck in finding something for myself or not, I was excited to explore the shop. As always, I would check out offer rack first and this 90s does 50s dress was calling out to me. </span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Vintage bag (era unknown, brand: Rakhams for Harrods Store)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Looking for vintage at the Portobello Market was fun. However, sometimes it was either the piece was not my size or it was over my budget. When I was about to leave the market, I stopped by at a stall selling mostly pre-loved items. Then the lovely golden velvety bag stood out and caught my eyes. Without much hesitation, I decided to give the bag a new home, half way around the world!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I never thought during these vintage hunting trips I had luck. Now, it is a matter of time to wear the dresses. As for the bag, I think I will let it rest for now until a suitable occasion arise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Have a great weekend everyone. Till my next post, stay chic!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What would you do when the handles of your bag are cracked but its body is still in good condition? To throw or to do anything to salvage it? Whislt my bag is not an expensive bag but to throw it away just because of the handles seems to be a waste.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/77856081@N05/26536412949/in/dateposted-public/" nbsp="" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="bag handles"><img alt="bag handles" height="300" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4571/26536412949_47ab379945.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then I remember how Herm<span style="margin: 0px;">és </span>twilly scarves are wrapped around the bags' handles. Why not? This seemed like a good idea and this inspired me to do the same with my bag.I got this bag in a flea market many years back in Kuala Lumpur. It was a pre-loved bag and I bought it for RM10.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Instead of buying fabric, I used a rectangular long scarf for this project which costs HKD20. So this is a cheap and fast fix. Here goes...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Personally, I believe vintage hunting or thrifting is definitely not to be missed when visiting Paris. I think one of the reasons why Parisian women are so chic is that they incorporate vintage pieces into their outfit and make them their own style.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Prior to my visit, I came across a website of vintage, <i>friperies</i> (thrift or secondhand), luxury vintage (to name a few) boutiques directories. How cool is that? Click <a href="http://www.thevintedge.com/" target="_blank">here</a> to check it out. This really helped me in selecting which vintage stores to visit.</span></div>

The highlight of my vintage hunting was visiting the famous flea market in Paris; Les Puces de Saint-Ouen ot Les Puces at Porte de Clignancourt. Les Puces is considered as the largest antique market and secondhand shop in the world. There 14 markets: Antica, Biron, Cambo, Dauphine, Django Reinhardt, Jules Vallès, le Passage, Malassis, Malik, l’Entrepôt, Paul Bert Serpette, des Rues, L’Usine & Lécuyer and Vernaison in an area of seven hectares.</span></span></span></div>

I wish I had more time to spend here instead of couple of hours, believe me it is not enough. Even I visited only few markets which sell vintage, I think I could spend whole day here. To check out vintage, I visited Paul Bert and Dauphine.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this shop I bought a vintage slip and some vintage buttons. The owner is a friendly old lady who speaks a little English (phew..). When asked where to find vintage stores in the market, she was kind enough to direct me to the right market - Dauphine. So, I walked to Dauphine and came across some vintage stores along the way.</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, I arrived at Dauphine.

I could easily spend hours here especially shop selling vintage fashion magazines. I wish I could buy all the vintage fashion magazines!!</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What do you think of vintage scene in Paris? To be honest, my post did not really do the justice. You need to be there to experience it. If I have another opportunity to visit Paris again (oh Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris has opened.... hhmm... another reason to visit Paris???), definitely I will spend more time in Les Puces.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just couple of weeks before I left for London (first then a brief trip to Paris), I came across news of Christian Dior exhibition at Musée des Arts Décoratifs; commemorating 70th anniversary of the creation of the House of Dior. I was super excited and could not wait to buy a ticket online (highly recommend to buy ticket online to avoid very, very long queue however the site is in French). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The exhibition takes you on a magical journey into the world of House of Dior from Christian Dior, himself to his fellow successors; Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri. Get a little up close and personal with hundreds of lovely dresses. An exhibition not to be missed!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Paris, City of Light, one of the most romantic places in the world; I am pretty sure it is on (almost) every girls' wishlist. To be able to visit Paris, it is indeed a dream comes true. Besides the Lourve, Musee d'Orsay (to name a few a must visit museums); just imagine all the scrumptious pasteries (croissants, macarons and the list goes on...), vintage shopping or strolling in Jardin des Tuileries, Paris has it all.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When taking photos with Paris as your background, you definitely need a special dress. The beautiful dress was purchased from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageVictoryGirl?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Victory Girl Vintage</a> and it was perfect for the photo shoot. Actually it did not cross my mind when I bought the dress. All I thought was; "This is a lovely dress! And I need to get it...". As for the vintage 40s heels, I bought them from <span id="goog_1230954264"></span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RoadsLessTravelled2?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Roads Less Travelled 2</a> at a great deal. Currently I am slowly expanding my vintage wardrobe from the 80s to the 40s to 50s and maybe 30s. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In my recent trip to London, I was lucky enough to see Big Ben and hear its bell before it was officially closed for four year due to conservation work. As you can see from the above photo, scaffoldings are being built around the base of the clock tower. London would not be the same without its iconic landmark.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This simple yet chic 40s brown dress is one of kinds. It comes with square collar and pockets. And I love dresses that come with pockets - so handy! Furthermore, the design of dress is timeless and if I did not mention it is a 40s dress, it is hard to tell. I bought this beauty from </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/dethrosevintage"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dethrose Vintage</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and the shoes from </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RoadsLessTravelled2"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Road Less Travelled Vintage 2</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">.</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They are indeed a match made in vintage heaven.</span> </div>
