Thrifting clothing

 

Last week picks are from different charity shops. 



Last week only home deco item was this glass vase. I love its design...two glass tiles with delicate iris picture infused. It has tube like vase in the middle so it would fit only 1 to 2 flowers. But I like it, its dainty and gives me Japanese vibe. It does have artist initial on the right below corner. I Think its A and E. Is this fused glass art?





Steven Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow " The Grand Design". I have not read it, I have only heard quotes from it and about this book. It's time to read it and wonder about Grand Design of things. 












No surprise here. Jenny Gibbs " Interior Design" book.

Written for interior design students and aspiring amateurs. 
Yes, I am the latter 😀

It is interesting book. Advising on look at architectural drawings of the building, to take account of locations of doors and windows and how the light flows in the rooms...to create a mood board etc when starting to design and decorating your rooms.








Then to the clothing part. This tunic top...is fabulous. The material is velvety soft, its just hugs my body. I worn it already  and I feel it to become one of my fave outfit. It is by Stitch and Soul Urban nature. I cant find about this brand. This just proves that there are makers out there who are not known but they are good. It is quality peace. I ware it with color tights and feel fab.












This sweater top has very interesting design. It has one sleeve, from other side it is open like boncho. It is by Rowen Avenue for Carraig Donn Department Stores.

"Discover Rowen Avenue, a collection of sophisticated & unique knitwear, tops & dresses featuring feminine silhouettes made from quality fabrics."


I think I am in fall mood...it is a perfect fall color, is'nt it?







Then I saw this blazer. I loved the color but most of all I liked the cut, quality textile and just look the inside lining. Its top quality. It goes well over dresses or with jeans.
It is by Gelco.

I cant find where it is produced or about this brand. But does it matter...its not if you like and it is good to ware.













I also picked these two necklaces. The metallic has great modernist look to it and other one has white art glass beads. They both could be worn with anything.

This time not many art items...other than that fused glass vase.
Designing clothing...its also art? Yes, it is.

Thrifting Banksy, jewelry, Hilfiger, diffuser, Masai Copenhagen

  I had "guns blazing"  fun with thrifting last week.  This Tommy Hilfiger pouch bag fits under arm perfectly and is brand new. Does not seem to be never warn. I can see how this design is influenced by Louis Vuitton. Textile with initials but then having Hilfigers iconic blue and red stripe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Hilfiger   These are two costume jewelry pieces that I picked up. The earrings are interesting to me because these are like very thin mesh tubes that have tiny crystals in them. The ring is no doubt a statement piece. I think its the largest ring I ever had. This Banksy's street art depiction was fun find. What makes it extra interesting is that it is print on the glass not paper. In my opinion it brings it to high quality level. The frame works so well too with it. If I am not mistaken it us by this company: https://artdesigna.co.uk/collections/banksy?srsltid=AfmBOoq87xvnEg0hTFx2oSGZ5K7P0KKfTiejFdm1WVP9zpmkiTyPVWXD Panda with Guns originally ...

Last week thrifting finds

  This is a compilation of items I picked last week from different charity shops.  One thing I always looking out and picking from charity shops is colored tights . Why pay about 8 EUR in department store when you get them from charity for 2EUR. For me they are perfect to make any outfit more interesting. Look at that color and pattern. Its fabulous. Wonderful oversized pottery mug or bowl. It is not signed and it is heavy to lift. I think it is someone's handmade project. That is what I like about it. I served a salad from it and it brought instant artsiness to the table. Bonus is its lime green inside and dark green outside glaze. Then I found these Casa Decor drawer knobs . Very good quality. Currently I have bed side tables with boring wooden knobs. I  think I need to do a makeover, to paint my side tables with new exciting color and use these knobs. I think knobs require darker color to make them pop.  Searched them up from internet. Quality Indian home decor. ...
