vintage marie-claire magazines

Finally, they have arrived! Early of the month, I have placed an order; two vintage French magazines - Marie Claire on Etsy. These really made my day.... here some photos of the magazines:

The dresses are so lovely and I have wondered if I could sew these kind of dresses some day. Vintage 1930s patterns are pricey and I am not ready to splurge on these. Hhhmm... perhaps one day...maybe a gift for myself?

Old fashion magazine

Last Sunday, as usual, I went to flea market in search of old fashion magazines. To my disappointment, the stall which I had purchased few old fashion magazines and old dressmaking books was no longer in operation. It is a pity as I do not know where to find such magazines anymore. I love to collect old fashion magazines as reference for vintage or retro outfits/looks. For this particular magazine, I just love the illustrations. They are so pretty and cute.
