You creating yourself and build up the different between you and them based on your confidence level about how you feel, how your entire look like either with a fashion backwards and i know is not easy but there will always be a way you can look good on classical vintage clothes.

For me doesn't matter, old or new, cheap or expensive.. As long as i am loving every single part of what i am buying and even if pay only with only minimum €1 but as long as i have the love over the item i already considered super expensive. Remember guys! Loves is essentials! Haha.. Please remember too that, expensive shit doesn't mean it will look super expensive on you. It is important that you know how to style it. It can always be against you when you not how how to play with the style. So, lets talk about this so call fashion backward stuff or easy to say Vintage. By right in my previous articles i was already gave you some tips about how to recognized between new era of second hand item vs classical vintage item. Let begin with :

Do some research Ok, imagine yourself what will you do when you need to buy a brand new laptop for yourself. I am pretty sure you are going to look for the best options, going to one of another shopping mall/shop to see what is the latest technology or what is on trend rite now. So, is the same about buying classical vintage clothes. Always first go to the normal store (Zara, H&M or any kind of your favourite shop. So you can see what their latest trend/collection they have.

Then, once you know what is a key of the hottest/latest trend in the market.. as an example (overtheknee style, over sized style, long coats, boyfriend/rugjeans/fauxfurr sweater/jacket) you must know part of this trend are also existing during this generations. So in order for you not to look to much fashion backwards, you can always buy accordingly based on the latest trend.

Every detail take part. Even the print/pattern/style/colour and etc. You know when i buy something classical i always want to make sure that the items i bought are adaptable to be place in my mix and match games between modern and classical. It is important because whenever old and backwards can always still look bad on me.

So, that is the only tips i can offer to you! Remember! Be happy when you purchase, please no doubt on your heads, and your clearly know what to do with those clothes you are buying. But count on me! if you need my extra guide over this classical vintage issue! Just knock me! haha!! ehh ehh i mean just ask me!

HOW TO RECOGNIZED VINTAGE/OLDSKOOL : MY FALL OVERSIZED VINTAGE SWEATER DRESS

Hello fashionista's!

How are you doing? Hoping your monday blues are over because today is already Tuesday!Yayyy!! But still long more to go before weekend approaching.. For me?? How am i doing? If you asking me my answered were just like... My weekend are forever!! Since long ago.. Hahahahaha..

Hey i was asking myself if anyone of you ever got confused how to compare between vintage and second hand item. Or if you ever thought of yourself by giving it a try/using/buying vintage item/clothing but you kind a not really sure how actually vintage fashion works? If you are a vintage lover/fan like me i am pretty sure you wouldn't had any trouble of knowing which item are vintage and which are not?

So girls, i think is a time for me of helping you by giving you some tips of how to recognize between real vintage and the 'fake one' since i am the master on vintage fashion. Hihi!

If you know the meaning of vintage i think you can already score part of it. Vintage mean timeless/something really old/classic although it is on used condition
If you know where are the vintage shop nearest your area, then that is the best. Usually vintage store only selling their valuable vintage item.
Check on the label inside the pockets whether it a handbag/jacket/skirt/t shirt and etc of when is the item been produced. If let say the item been produced in the era of 90's, 80's then that is definitely a vintage item
Look at the pattern, design, material of each item. Usually the pattern/design are always on fashion backwards condition.
Check the way how the stitching on each item they have. Especially on vintage clothing. Usually back then the stitching part are more appropriate and last longer and strong. Some even in a hand sewing version.
Look at the fabrics and the colour of each item. Every inch of the details takes part!
Last one girls, hahah smell it! You know what it mean by vintage when you smell those item. By smelling the cloth you can already is old.. It means : VINTAGE

You don't know the real look until you giving it a try. I hope this look that i created last weekend inspired you enough. I want to also letting you know that every part of vintage are also fashions. Although they were backward and old, but without vintage fashion who we are now? Who is Karl Lagerfeld, who is Anna Wintour, Who is Diane Von Furstenberg?? Imagine that? there will be no fashion forward and there will be not even any fashion idea in our near future. Vintage is priceless, Vintage is timeless!! Vintage are also made me appreciate the energy of our old generation of people who responsible of doing such a really hard work. Imagine without technology?? Almost everything are hand made. It is actually a total pure of Art. Isn't it?

So girls this was my last weekend look during my visit to my grandparents house in Brussels.

MARKETING DAY X AIN GOES LITTLE HIPPY + VINTAGE + CASUAL STREETSTYLE X LOOK OF THE DAY

As of yesterday (Saturday) my day started when entire all of us (My little girl, hubby) went to fresh market at the city. It a place where usually i bought all my halal meats, my fresh vegetables and fruits as well my seafood. Located near Clemenceau metro station by 3minutes walk and easily we reach the destination. It a placed named Anderlecht and it actually also easily reachable by any type of public transport. So guys it was my marketing day for all of us yesterday. Hihi..

It has been long time ago i wanted to have my outfit photo shoot at this market, so here were all the stories begin when my husband were on his mood of doing all those photos. This time were all in different background scenery's concept. There are almost no street style, construction work, signboard background I've changed the scenery's to the barrel and wall look, clock, door, subways stations, SOS signal and fresh market stuffed. So i am hoping the concept is matched with of my marketing day yesterday.

The outfit i have worn yesterday were also one of the most comfortable way i usually dressed. I am back to basic with my high waist cut ripped jeans, then i paired it with my vintage patched T shirt came with colourful hand sew patched work in diamond/parallelogram shape and that was just make me so attracted to buy it few month ago and it was at a really bargain price (€3) from Meltingpotkilo shop. Then I've put on my gray colour cardigan to cover me from the morning freezing. To complete the look as usual my Nike Af1 Sneakers, Vintage Delvaux cross body handbag, pony tail hairstyles and the end of it is my Fendi Glasses. That all guys! Take a look at all the photo. Did you get inspired by that?
