now that´s what I call successful thrifting!
most of all I adore the floral pieces like the skirt and the silk dress - it is so amazing to get the now so fashionable florals in the original vintage way!

Hello there,
great blog i would like to tag you. The purpose of this tag is to list 4 of your favourite film scenes ever. You are probably limited to what you can find on youtube or elsewhere as a clip of the scene is needed. You can also tag four people if you like. You can see a list of mine on my blog. thanks.
