OUTFIT nr 9: rok it vintage rocks it

 shirt - rockit vintage; top, skirt , necklace - h&m; shoes - vagabond

That's exactly what i wore yesterday for party. Well we just went to the pub so it's not a proper party outfit but actually never really dress up when I go out (Highheels, Dress,..). Or let's say hardly ever. I bought this shirt the same day as I bought my jacket from the last outfit post. I had an eye on a shirt from Urban Outfitters since months but never bought it because I think 45 pounds for a shirt is a bit too expensive and I was really happy when I found that shirt at Rok it as it looks completely similar to the one from Urban Outfitters. I especially love the colours and of course the pattern. And to my shoes. I bought them a couple of weeks ago and I love them. They are so comfortable and pimp up every outfit. Think I am addicted to Vagabond shoes. What do you guys think of my outfit, the prices at Urban Outfitters and finally do you love Vagabonds as much as I do?

OUTFIT nr 6: vintage winter

cardigan - vintage; shirt, jeans, hat, rings - h&m; bag - monki; - shoes - vagabond

I decided yesterday it's finally time to wear my faux fur hat. i own it already since years but hardly ever wear it. actually don't really know why. i combined my outfit with blouse/cardigan what i bought at bricklane for just 5 pounds. I could wear this cardigan all the time. just love the colours and the pattern. my jeans are a really oldie. i bought them years ago in the sale at h&m. the shoes are my all time favourites. i wear them nearly every day. they were quite expensive because they are from vagabond but they are worth every pence. they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. and the bag is from monki, i bought it a while ago because i liked the pattern with the cat + triangle. i know it's bit hipster like but why not. the pictures are btw shot in a really beautiful room at somerset house. well gonna rush now to brick lane to get some more vintage bargains. see you guys and let me know what you think.

LNDN - my first time at the vintage kilo sale

i planned to go on a vintage kilo sale since i've heard from the first one but now after quite a while i finally made it to one and it was an experience and i am sure i'll try to make it to the next one again. 

well that's my story: 
i left the house way too late and the transport took ages so i arrived quite late at the tube station bethnal green. finally there i had no idea where to go so i just chose one of the exits of the tube station and tata on the street were lots of people with huge packed purple shopping bags with the label "the vintage kilo sale" and they all came from the same direction so i just followed their way and i arrived 2 minutes later at the york hall where the sale took place. to be honest i got quite worried when i saw all those people with the packed shopping bags. i though that i am probably way too late and that all cloths are already gone but i calmed down when i realized that i am not the only one who arrived at 2pm. so i queued to pay the entrance fee of 1 pound, catched a purple bag and entered the hall. the first thing what came on my mind when i saw all those shopping rails and floor canvas was "that gonna take a while".  so i started at the first floor canvas what crossed my way and was quite disappointed because i didn't like any garment. so i continued with the next canvas and it didn't take long until some girls joined me. well it seemed a bit like a fight for the best cloths but i was quite successful. after an hour rummaging i decided to give up and started to search the dressing rooms but well there were none. so i followed the other girls in a side room. in there were some mirrors, heaps of cloths - i even thought about rummaging through them but didn't do it - and lot's of people trying on their cloths. in the end i found two scarves, a cardigan and a blouse (o'neill) and i paid only 5 pounds because it was less than a kilo. it was definitely worth the visit but i'm sure you can find way nicer cloths when you arrive there early. but i'm def gonna go to the next one and this time from the beginning. ;D
