Lately I find myself drawn to centuries old art of tapestry and vintage inspired patterns and prints in faded colours! Luckily I found a lot of original vintage tapestry bags, in varities of shapes and sizes on etsy.com. Wonderful tapestry bags through all decades for available prices!
Great Vintage 80ies tapestry shoes from “Ruby Chic Boutique” via etsy.com, unfortunately in a size 9 (!). I thought about wearing 10 pairs of socks to fit inside these wonders…

If vintage inspired milles-fleurs fabrics, photorealistic prints, romantic roses, knitted or art designed…i want flowers! Unfortunately there is still snow outside. So we`ll have to be patient and help ourselves with a little eye candy!

As seen at Pixiemarket.com, here are some lovely collages of Banshee Beat created by Shelby Dimarco.
Her illustrations are telling stories about fashion fairytales and the old times.
The beautiful collages are leading us through all decades…starting with hot trends, over vintage Victorian influences to ironic 80ies. One word: ADORABLE!
Great colour combination!
Look at that stunning headpiece!
I really love the way she combines raw cut edges with soft elements like flowers, lace and chiffon looking surfaces and semiprecous stones. Her trashy – poetic style is really unique!

London is a gorgeous individual city!
I really like the architecture of the low build houses and the great vintage, design and flea markets near Brick Lane. The people are very individual with a cool attitude and a lot of healthy self confidence. A great place to be!

Another must-see in the Noho area is the Cockpit USA, Inc store on 652 Broadway!
Cockpit USA, Inc (formerly “Avirex”) was one of the first concept stores when it opened in 1986.
I really felt like walking through a museum of aviation when i entered the store, because the interior design is so amazing! Look at these great vintage accessoires and decors!
They sell as well original vintage clothing, authentic aviator leather jackets, PF Flyers sneakers, pilot sunglasses, Tretorn Boots as WESC Jeans and G-Shock contemporary watches. The stuff is outstanding nice, friendly…and cute!
I really fell in love with these great replica aviator caps!

Williamsburg is my favourite hood in Brooklyn!
You will find as well a lot of edgy and stylish shops for clothing and handcrafted jewelry, vintage and young designer markets as unique interior stores and young creative people everywhere.
Visit Williamsburg by taking the train to “Bedford Avenue” and take your time!
Group of stylish people walking through the hood…i imagined they would be a rock band.
I also liked the “Artists and fleas market” indoor market, which reminded me pretty much of Brick Lane in London.
Similar creative flair with great vintage picks, unique jewelry and alternative clothing.
Some of my favourites are: “Nanako”, “Brass Isaac”, “Corvus Noir” and in the first place “etc…modern vintage jewelry”.
etc…modern vintage jewelry shows a unique line of modern-vintage jewelry which is designed by Liz and Kim Teich.
The designers had the idea to recycle vintage and antique pieces and to update them with a modern twist.
I really like the idea of having a unique accessoire with a vintage soul!

Another of my favourite shops in NYC is the Urban Outfitters shop on 628 Broadway, because i really love their interior style which shows an unique mix of deconstruction and decoration, like vintage flower tapestry on raw wood surfaces.
Urban Outfitters sells a huge selection of flower patterned dresses and shirts, selected vintage clothing, eclectic accessoires and retro interior and home decorations.
The labels differ from the labels they sell in the UK: there were many styles from their label “Kimchi Blue” which had lovely patterns and prints but neither the prices (between $48 and $69 for a simple jersey dress) nor the quality was good. Anyway, i think this Urban Outfitters i worth a visit!

One of the most amazing shops i have ever seen was Anthropologie, NY.
I went to their shop in Soho on 375 West Broadway
This shop is so beautiful! Like a unique wonderland in which you experience pleasures in every corner. Everything was inpired by vintage. They sell beautiful patterned clothes but even nicer home decorations and gifts with beautiful, vintage inspired prints.
Please visit the Anthropologie shop on 375 West Broadway!
