Something Old.. Something New.


This fabulous 'USED' bag made and photographed by Janne Igbuwe (janne-igbuwe@live.nl), inspired me to think about todays hot items which look like they have been used. I wouldn't call it vintage, as they'd have to be produced decades ago, but they do give that dated-but-fashionable feel. 


Love the pastel pink of this coat. Perfect for the not so chilly days. Pastels are so 2012.
You can't go wrong with a Luella. And this classic 50s style pair of sunglasses will frame your face in such way giving you the edginess and softness in one. Dare you try?

A pair of skinny jeans cannot NOT be part of your wardrobe. You need a pair that will make you feel good every day. And these straight-cut jeans do precisely that. Even on not-so-good days your legs will look divinely long.

This is my favourite item, a mohair blazer. Has a very distinct feel and steps aside from the typical check blazer one would expect you to have (yes a checked item is a must-have no matter what season).

Brogues automatically give your outfit the vintage feel. Their shape, their pattern, their small heel. Options are endless you can wear them with trousers, skirts and dresses, and even if red is not so your colour, black is an option too.
Remember that Flower Power time? Remember not? Then ask your parents. This modern cut yet vintage feel blazer will flower up any outfit of yours!
A good pair of brown boots takes you a long way. They will match anything and everything. What I like particularly about this pair is that they have two shades of brown and two slightly different materials. 2012 is about layering different materials, shoes count as well..

What other items do you love which look vintage? Let me know! XOXO
