Bride looked wonderfully elegant ~ beautiful & gorgeous ~ ♥

Kate Middleton's wedding gown looked perfectly great ~ ♥ Credit to Sarah Burton! x)

The real moment was when the archbishop had done his stuff, and then suddenly in the silence of the abbey people could hear the cheering outside. It was a very moving thing to hear the popular impact of that.

If it made people feel romantic then that can't be a bad thing. =)

Vintage

Vintage Fashion

Everyone is talking about vintage fashion nowadays ~ And at the same time no one could explains what is really vintage? Of course there are a lot of dictionaries, books and articles ~ but no of them unfortunately gives the deep meaning of vintage ~ the spirit, the soul of vintage ~

I wanted to find out what is real Vintage in fashion? So I decided to do some research and eventually, I've got what I wanted to know :)

Here we go ~

The Age of Vintage

Let's start with a simple definition, vintage clothing and accessories are older than 20-25 years, but not more than 85.

Those figures vary: sometimes vintage includes 1920s fashion, sometimes 1920s clothing and accessories are considered to be antique, mostly it depends on the actual garment.

Anyway, time goes by and vintage definition changes.

Vintage clothing is like old wine ~

'Vintage' is a French word originally used for wines older than 20 years. And this is the key for understanding vintage fashion. As you know, age for wine is a very valuable advantage. The older a wine &mdash the better: higher quality, more expensive and respectable. Therefore vintage oldness has a touch of chic and glamour.

But not all the old clothing and accessories can be defined as vintage, even if it is produced during the mentioned period, just as not every wine can be left to age and become vintage.

As time goes by, bad wine can become only soar vinegar and never good old vintage wine and the ordinary ugly clothing can become only an old trash and nothing more.

On the other hand a beautiful 1930s beaded handbag which had been created with talent, lovingly worn and carefully kept inside it's own box on the top shelf of a wardrobe, bag that has a history, has memories of its time and romantic stories. Even if you don't really know those stories and memories it still has this touch. It's old but it's noble.

To make long story short vintage fashion is NOT just a name or a year on the label, but style of the past, retro glamour and romantic history.
