Hello everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend! It is good to be back here, to blog and to get connected with you. Here is a little confession, while I was away from blogging lately, I was secretly (sort of) looking and bidding or purchasing vintage Chanel accessories online. Hence I have started my little vintage Chanel accessories collection...

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Till my post, stay chic and stylish!

in christmas mood already?!

It felt like ages since my last visit to Midvest Vintage, hence I went there in the past couple of weeks. In general, I think some of its vintage merchandise are affordable and well curated. This time, I did not leave the shop with empty handed.Out of sudden, I had the feeling to buy a vintage Christmas brooch. I know, I know, Christmas is still far away, that's what the salesperson said too. Don't know why I am into Christmas.....

Here are the goodies... the necklaces were on sale; HK$10 for each. Now, how can anyone resist this? I needed a black belt and was lucky to find one in the store. What do you think of the brooch? I can't wait to wear it!

Hope you had a great weekend. Have a great week ahead!

Don't you think this is a lovely brooch? I can't stop checking the brooch out; almost every night, after work I would log on onto Malleries to take a look at it. This brooch is from 1994 collection. Sigh... if only I have enough money to indulge myself at the moment.

Go long

Due to the fact that I am petite, most of the time I do not wear long skirt or long dress, unless it is a lovely skirt or dress. I alter my skirts and dresses from below knees to above knees length. However, at times, I thought perhaps it would be good to try to break the 'rule'. This outfit features my lovely vintage brooch and vintage shoes bought from etsy some time ago. The brooch is super cute and the vintage shoes are so lovely - woven leather.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

New addition

This adorable and lovely vintage brooch is my latest purchase from etsy, at a very good deal. The brooch cost US$1 while the shipping cost was US$1.50. Less than RM10. The best deal ever on etsy! I love everything about the brooch - the colour, the design and most of the heart shaped locket! The package arrived on last Monday, just in time to cure my Monday blues...

Weekend is just around the corner. What are you plans? I hope I would be able to catch up on my sewing. Keeping my fingers crossed.
