Thrifting clothes Wendy Trendy, Ted Lapidus, art

Finishing this year thrifting with a bang, quality items.

Amazing dress by Tara Vao.

This is cotton and linen combo fabric dress, super comfy and cool boho artsy looking. I am wearing it with black tank boots and on the top long sleeved black T shirt. Plus jewelry to jazz it up.

I love that new collection video there under link!

As soon as I noticed ( how one can not notice? ) the color...I walked to it as if drawn by invisible force. Bonus is that it is velvet and as soon as I tried it on...I had a BIG smile in my face. It is fabulous!

This is by Wendy Trendy.

Oooh...I am waiting for spring now to start waring it...meanwhile it elevates my bedroom just hanging there on the clothes cupboard door. I love it.

Looove! 😍💖 Look how cool and quirky clothing this is!

The photo does not do justice to the dress. It is very moody and darkly mysterious and charming. Mysterious is right word. It is a stretchy and chiffon fabric.

It is by Warehouse.

Here is a handmade silk scarf, that is signed Marilys. So, I cant tell by whom it is exactly by. Google gives result but for Mailyn...

But it is fabulous muted green colors and hand turned and stitched edges.

Second scarf that I found has Ted Lapidus Paris marked on it but if it is a real deal or not, I cant tell.

It is machine stitched. But it is wearable having beautiful pheasants on it and was cheap enough for me to decide to purchase it.

This concludes my 2024 thrifting year. Finding these treasures is now part of my life. Thrill of a hunt. I enjoy them for time period and eather donate or sell them forward. My next thrift will be in Italy. Main reason for my trip is to visit Pompei, Herculaneum. Decided to do it now in winter since it is off season and it is not hot. I can take it slow and hopefully will not be overrun by hoards of people. And of course I have already Googled up some thrift shops. Bye 2024! Been a great year!

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. ...
