So a typical day at the flea market - going there with some friends, eat cinnamon buns when you get super tired of all the amazing and cheap vintage and second hand finds that you see everywhere and get a free hat! See all of my pictures here. Okey, a free hat is not that typical, but not surprising either. It was a free flea market find at Galoppisen. That flea market that goes on every weekend close to Stockholm, the whole summer (expect for like midsummer). 

And then we have these pants. As I have mentioned before, working in an office environment right now, means that I have the possibility to experiment with 'office wear'. I am surprised of how super excited and inspired I feel! These pants is a flea market find, they are from the brand ACNE and they cost me 3 dollars (yeahs, 3 dollars!) at Solnahallen Megaloppis. The top was bought in the flea market On the flea when it was in Stockholm, for 2 dollars. The shoes are from Beyond Retro's stock sale, they cost me 6 dollars. All and all this whole outfit costed me 16 dollars (with sunglasses included). I mean that is kind of a okey amount of money. So I am excused for going to flea markets and buying a bunch load of clothes every weekend now, right?

One of my favorite places to rest is by the lake. No matter the weather.

This pair of pants was a real find. They cost me 2 dollars at the Solnahallen Megaloppis flea market, and they are from the fancy brand Tiger of Sweden (which means they are worth about 300 dollars). They are never worn and super soft. I love the huge flairs and that they move in the wind. I also love that I have my work at the magazine Minnenas Journal, which means I can play with 'office clothing'.

So guys, this weekend means that the best thing on the whole year happens! Well very close to the very best thing anyway: the huge flea market Galoppisen in Täby starts! It will be every weekend from 12-16 from now on and the whole summer. Täby is like 15-20 minutes from Stockholm city with bus or train so don't you miss it. It is huge! I know where I will be and spend my change.

This is a vintage dress brought in Paris. It is actually the only dress I bought there this time (most of the times I come home with like 2000 dresses). This time my interest in vintage items had shifted a bit though. When I was there earlier my interest were more in 1950:s-1970:s dresses; this time I am looking more at 1900:s-1930:s items. For instance I bought a beautiful perfume bottle from Guerlain, one of the most famous perfume companies in the world. It is from the 1920:s and it is an atomizer, so it has one of those puffs! I have to show it to you guys soon. It is adorable.

The items from the beginning of the century are of course often expensive. If something is a 100 years old, it is seen as an antique. However they are lovely and in Paris you can find a lot of them! If you haven't seen it before, click here and read and see more about the quirky antique markets in Paris.

This dress caught my eye in one of those busy vintage stores that you can only find in that city. You can see them on the street Rue de la Verrerie and around that neighborhood. It was cramped with people and you almost had to fight to see anything. But it is here that you can find the real bargains! My boyfriend find an awesome 1950:s leather jacket, and I found this dress. It cost me 9 euros. I love it because it reminds me of a tennis sports wear in the 1920:s. However the fabric says to me that it probably was made in the 1970:s, maybe in the same time era when the 1920:s was back in fashion again because of the old The Great Gatsby movie that was produced in 1974. 

Something old something new something borrowed something blue.

I could almost wear this to my wedding. The shirt is my boyfriend's, the flower shorts was 1 dollar at a flea market and the sunglasses are produced by Beyond Retro. And then of course the white shoes, which I got from my friend (a bonus).

Talking about weddings, one of my closest friends are getting married in about a month! So what to wear? Well actually, I thought about a 1950:s silk dress that I have - but then two weeks ago I found an amazing, amazing vintage dress that maybe will be the one! It was at Solnahallen Megaloppis - that I am always jabbering about. A young girl were selling some of her grandmother's clothes. One of them was a yellow and green flowered 1950:s wonder. With a tiny waist, a wide skirt and no straps. I fell in love. She wanted 15 dollars for it (which is nothing!). I am so happy for it, and I will show you it someday soon. You can see more from the flea market here.

The cherry blossoms are magical and they only lasts for a few weeks. I am so happy that I got to see it just after I came back from Paris. The trip to Paris was amazing - I found new antique markets, exhibition of how the lovely city looked like 100 years ago and I got to visit the Oriental Express. See pictures of it here and get the vintage and antique market tips here.

This little lovely dress is from the 1920:s. Can you imagine! I found it at the Stockholm Vintage fair. It was hanging among a lot of other second hand pieces but when I saw the silhouette and felt the fragile fabric I knew that this was a really old pearl. And guess what - it cost me 10 dollar! NOTHING. The girl who sold it said that she had got all the clothes from her mother or grandmother, and I guess she just didn't know what she was selling. 1920:s dresses are rare, they are old and today they are popular so therefore they expensive. Because of how short this one is and by its color it has probably been a seaside dress, maybe a swimsuit, even though it is made in silk. For me it is a treasure!

The turban is from the 1940:s. And the brooch is from my old grandmother Annie, who was young in the 1920:s and loved masquerades! The stay-ups has this lovely powder pink color, they are bought in a boutique called Pistill in Stockholm.

I have been a busy bee this week and I finally got some time to close the doors at home and sit down. This dress is actually from the store Lindex, but I love the 1920:s inspiration and the soft color. The woolen jacket is a piece that you might have seen here before, it is a vintage find that I made on Etsy.com. I just adore that website, I could sit there for hours (expensive hours).

Last weekend was an amazing wedding event at Beyond Retro - see pictures from it here. And this weekend a lot will happen in Stockholm! On Saturday there is a new flea- and design market in town: Cyklopens Svarta Marknad. And on Sunday you can visit the lovely Vintagemässan. See you there!

I have a new job at the most amazing magazine - if you love vintage and nostalgia check it out! Minnenas Journal and the webpage is in Swedish but I think google translate can work magic for you. And hey, the lovely videos from the 1920:s and the amazing pictures are anyhow without any need of sound!

So after some busy weeks me and my friend finally went down to the lake and watched the sun turn it purple. In Sweden, mars mean spring, but it also means surprising snow that comes and goes. I guess that really can makes us appreciate when the sun finally shines through.

This shirt is a new love of mine. I bought it at a flea market and I adore its lightness and its metal buttons. I also have an obsession for mixing wool with something sheer. This is a pair of woolen and angora shorts, bought in a second hand in Stockholm.  

Just like that I release that not only did I get a pair of high waist squared pants for 4 dollars on a vintage sale - they are also from the famous designer Giorgio Sant' Angelo! Born in 1933 and lived to 1989, his creativity has been inspiration for fashion designers ever since, Marc Jacobs to name one. He also styled some famous fashion shoots, like the one with Twiggy in Vouge, from 1967, 18 months after she was discovered:

There is a huge flea market coming up in Stockholm this weekend! 'On the Flea' in Kistamässan is said to be one of the biggest flea markets in town. And it is not only in Stockholm, here you can see all the cities that it will attend in the future.

In a couple of weeks I will attend to an Oriental masquerade. I already have another outfit, this is not the one. But it goes to show how inspired I am of the concept. This hysterical, lovely, vintage sequin top is from Beyond Retro's stock sale. Beyond Retro once priced it to 77 dollar and now they sold it for 6 dollar. Yes 6 dollar, that was not a misspelling. And the Beyond Retro sale continues; tomorrow they have 'Late night shopping' with sales, at Åsögatan in Stockholm.

The hairpiece I wear is actually a black pearl top. I formed it with some hair needles and shaped a veil. The lace skirt once was my mothers. I love her wardrobe.
