earrings gone necklace

a long long break from fashion blogging

what a shame, work has piled up on my desk, I was away and a lot of things have happened, so the Jeffery went a bit into oblivion.
But soon it will rise from the ashes and take over the world of vintage fashion lovers! I am positive about it.

furry time

In these temperatures, one can understand how people took to wearing animals - it just so much warmer than all that snthetical stuff. Almost a year ago in cool Melburnian winter, I bought my beloed fur collar in an op shop. It used to be attachable to a jacket, but the jacket got lost and it was left all alone...so I took care of it, matched it with my black faux leather jacket or my winter coat and we all lived happily ever after.
Wearing fur is a moral dilemma. But wearing Vitage is for some a way out of it. My fur collar has been dead before, it has not been killed on purpose for a present day fashion. The animals died anyway, so wearing vintage fur

meet Retina

this gem was hiding in an ugly black bag:


Please meet Kodak Retina automatic III! This model has only been produced from 1960 to 1962 and cost more than 300 DM back in the days. Luckyly, the internet knows more:

The Kodak Retina AUTOMATIC I is a small handy precision camera also
cutter cross after Retina Reomar 1:2,8/45mm with an Prontormat s catch.
It possesses an automatic control of the screen, as well as the suttertimes,
which block the trip with insufficient lighting conditions

kids in trees

While going through my grandmas stuff, I found many boxes of old photos, the oldschool black and white type. They are lovely, though sometimes it is quite to hard to tell who is who. How people change when they grow older.
I took some to my grandma, but even she could not remeber all of the persons in the pictures.

Some are just snapshots, but some are of a more artsy type in terms of composition and light. All accidental, I suppose, but beautiful...
