Cosima De Vito - When the War is Over


Vintage beaded wool jumper, vintage lace collared dress worn as a top inside, denim shorts c/o Romwe, voodoo black tights, ASOS black suede wedges, vintage bag (lizzie's) & typewriter - a prop borrowed from my friend yvonne!
I really wish that old things like boomboxes, telegrams, typewriters, box brownies, antique telephones and record players never went so 'extinct'. I think it's a little bit sad to throw these historical items out - it's like throwing out a bit of history and if every one was to throw away their boomboxes.. then there would be none left (well done Sherlock)! So that's why i like collecting these old things. My parents think i'm crazy, buying second hand bits and pieces which they had only just chucked out a couple of decades ago because they were quote: "useless". So far, i've bought myself a fabulous, huge and completely unportable red boom box. But every time i visit a market with old home wares and bric a brac, i am always so tempted to buy that glass fruit bowl, completely broken but oh so beautiful camera or the countless sets of delicate teacup sets!

Today is my Etsy store's one year anniversary :) And what better way to celebrate with.. 100 Etsy sales! I also just wanted to say a bit thank you to Lara from Frankie Magazine for featuring my hair accessories on the Frankie blog. Pretty much the most amazing thing that has happened in my hair accessories making career..! So big love to Frankie Magazine (as well as their fabulous magazine as well!)

I feel like your blog is going to become my new favorite:) At least I'm not the only one who compulsively buys old things for the sake of nostalgia:) I still have my old boombox from 1992..somewhere.
As always, I love your outfit!
omg.. I love typewriters and really old things that I wasn't around to experiment with.
These are such beautiful old school photos! I really love the sweater, it has a gorgeous color and the bag is very cool! :D
So cute! <3
These are such lovely photos! I love your red beaded jumper! My grandma had a couple like those which she gave away not knowing I wanted them! :( The bag is adorable and the typewriter, is just perfect!! I love the colour!!

love this look :)
YES! I hoard second hand books, they have created their own city skyline in my room, stacked up so tall yet none have had the time to be read by me! I also take random cabinents, and old cameras. Just because I think "wow it has so much character". :O
I love the photo setting :D
cute look love the photos!!

Wow I'm in love with that bag, I've been really into vintage bags lately and that one is just gorgeous!
That jumped is gorgeous! I can't deny that it makes me a little sad that it is vintage and I can't go snaffling one up. On the other hand I have too many jumpers so I should just stick to admiring yours!
Also, I'm really surprised by a yellow typewriter. Did you paint it yourself? I just didn't think that when they were common people were painting them bright colours.
you look wonderful
darling sweater, kani! it's so quirky & pretty on you.
You're so cute! The jumpe is amazing!
First off, congrats on your etsy store!! (: And I agree with you on the whole vintage items thing. I've really come to appreciate the beauty of type writers, old cameras, and things like that. They are so cool! The photos look amazing!! You always have the cutest outfits! I really like your sweater. (:

Anyway, you look great Kani! I really like your jumper :]
