old school cool

Do you like the new layout of my blog? I have done away with the bright shades of tape on my images. I felt it was "cramping my style", so I decided on a cleaner, crisper design. Hopefully I can start taking myself seriously now... 

Anyway I went treasure hunting in my mom's bedroom this weekend, scratching around for some cool retro pieces. I'll admit I don't own too much vintage myself, as much as I love the look, I can never find enough energy or patience to try on clothing in secondhand stores. I'm the kind of girl who grabs anything that catches my eye, but only tries on the items when I get home. Malls are just soul-killers, I want to spend as little time in there.

So I found some beaut accessories in my mom's cupboard. Heavy gold chain belts. Chunky gold jewellery. A crock-skin handbag. Old polaroids. The stuff dreams are made of. And here I photographed them.
