SUMMER CHIC

I am excited about today’s shoot, new location exploring backdrop colours of the Sahara dessert. I am wearing a dress I bought at Floyd's Woolshop boutique on the Prinsestraat 34 Den Haag.   Floyd’s collection improves yearly and I have been shopping there for years. Today I embrace my inner Goddess, wearing a Grecian style inspired dress.The beautiful silk feels secondary to my own. The shade of my hat protects my face against the sun and yes it's fun.I am wearing small gold plated chains on neck; on my wrist I am also wearing my own handmade semi-precious stones bracelets, which is part of my bijoux collection.Next week I take a closer look into Ilka’s vintage shop...I have seen some lovely pieces and I am now already excited about next week Friday's interview with Ilka.

KRAKOW UNDERCOVER: THE FLEA MARKET

Today's to the semi antique market where you can find anything, from books to posters to rubbish. Some are piled on the ground in no particular order or style, while others are put behind the glass with "don't touch" signs all over. Looking from above to below is not easy, but I guess squatting plays a role in the search. I'm a good squatter anyway, so anything that sparkle my curiosity - hey, time to squat!

I like walking around flea markets for you may never know what treasures you may find. I guess you need a sharp pair of eyes to see through all the rubbish and find something what suits your wants. As they say one man's trash is another man's treasure.

I found three delicious, sparkly rings, all to fit on one finger. I bargained my price to buy all 3. Why just buy one?! I love rings. The more the merrier.

I also found some beautiful, handmade crochets lace trim pieces for the upcoming line of Remarkable Vintage collection.

Address: Hala Targowa, ul. Grzegorzecka
Market opens every Sunday 8 - 12.
Price range:  1 PLN +

 

KRAKOW

I am not a travel guide by any means. I come to Krakow for work, but while here I find that it is a city full of culture.

Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops and pubs and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.  The buildings are beautiful in their own, unique way.

The city is old and young at the same time. It's hip and creative. You can find alcohol shops open 24/7, so if you like to drink or need to wash away your worries, it's the place to be… and get washed away.
