The Biggest Little Vintage Fair in Ljubljana

Hi,

I haven't been blogging about vintage fairs in Ljubljana, so here it goes; on Saturday a bunch of us gathered to check out anything vintagey or second-handish. The fair was called Nostalgična sobota (The Nostalgic Saturday), I thought it sounded pretty catchy;). The thing about Slovenia and vintage fairs and flea markets is that it is a relatively new concept, whereas in the cities like London, Berlin and so on, vintage is practically a tradition and there is a wider variety of things to choose from. However, Rome wasn't built in a day, so we have to start small, right? And what place better than in Ljubljana...

Welcome, all you vintage lovers;)

Note: it's very important to scratch when it itches;)

Ljubljana by night

Hi,

two days ago, I took a little stroll downtown and realised I actually hadn't done that in ages. I am always rushing from point A to point B, to C and then back to A, not realising what the heck is going on around me. So this time I took the time to actually take it all in and I could see for the first time in quite a while that my hometown Ljubljana is a really beautiful city, full of interesting details and even more interesting people.

So first, I went windowshopping at Wolfova 5:

Then, I took some snapshots of the local street fashion:

and then I took some more photos:)

 he, he:)

Have a happy Sunday,

love,

Teja

Strawberries and Chocolate

I haven't done a recipe post in quite a while, so because it's May and everybody's in the mood for ''sweet lovin' '' I have decided to share a sexy recipe for you and your honey:)

You'll need:
500 g of fresh organic strawberries
100g of dark chocolate
100 ml of whipped cream
a knob of butter

Here's what you need to do:

1. Wash the strawberries (duh:)) and place them in a nice bowl or on a colorful plate. Beautiful dishware makes even the most everyday things like fruit seem like a delight for the eye. Arrange them in such a way that the strawberries themselves will seem like the most desirable thing in the world.

2. Moving on to the second part: CHOCOLATE!:)

Melt a knob of butter with that lovely chocolate and let it simmer on low heat, till be get an ooey gooey chocolaty mixture like this one below:

3. Got the first two parts covered? Alright, good job! :) Whip the cream into a lovely, thick, white deliciousness and have a quick bite before actually serving the dish;)

Why did I serve the melted chocolate in a chipped dish? Because just like this dish is not perfect, every relationship is not perfect. Every relationship is slightly ''chipped'' but that doesn't mean that we don't love each other:)

Happy Thursday everyone!

Love,

Teja xoxox

Vintage Heaven in the Heart of Ljubljana

Hi,

today was an exciting day-I attended my first vintage/second-hand open air fair in the center of Ljubljana. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and the air was full of nostalgic tunes from Edit Piaf, Frank Sinatra, etc. A perfect day to go vintage shopping! The mood was relaxed, people were friendly and chatty and it was a great opportunity for people watching, and for me - to snap a few photos;)

Thank you Gvant for this gifted bracelet, it's awesome:)

A coffee break inbetween:)

I simply love this photo I had taken. As I was happily snapping away

with my camera, a woman riding a bicycle went by just when I pressed down the button

and her reflection in the mirror was caught on my camera.

The result: a heavenly photo!:)

I fell for this necklace hard! I love it!
