Some of my Favorites at Ropa Di Bu Vintage Clothing in Spain
In the US there are so many great vintage shops both in situ and oline. As well as vintage markets, they are absolutely a delice to visit. But I have found this Vintage Clothing Shop in Spain, and the website has lots of items for vintage lovers. A lot belong to the 60s, 70s and 80s fashion. I want some day to see from the 20s! I love those times as you know. But these articles are some of my favorites.

Balenciaga: Spanish Master
From last 19th of November till the 19th of February 2011, The Queen Sofia Spanish Institute in New York is showing the first exhibition to consider the impact of Spain’s culture, history and art on one of its greatests twentieth-century sons, the legendary designer Cristobal Balenciaga (1895-1972). Hailed as “Fashion’s Picasso” by Cecil Beaton, Balenciaga’s innovations transformed the way women dressed, from the opening of his Paris fashion house in 1937 until his retirement in 1968. His visionary designs and impeccable standards seduced generations of the best-dressed women in the world.

Weekend Poll: What time do you belong to?
I was reading an article that speaks about Ditta Von Tyssen and I know the pinup style doesn’t fit me well. I mostly prefer the 20s , its fashion and the flapper era. But at times, I can also feel that I would why not could be living in the 1900s, those times filled with art, culture, expeditions and marvelous perfume creations.
So, I was thinking why not write about this as a poll? This is a great way to know your likes, what times you really love most and perhaps seeing these images those who wonder will finally get an idea of what times they really feel to fit in.
So here are some images, randomly selected. Just choose one (or two) that will let us know what times, what old and not so old times you really love.
I made a selection starting with the 1900s. I could go further back but perhaps this will be posted on another article, only to show a certain time, let’s say the Victorian and Edwardian era.
So, here are the pictures. Chose the one or two photos that make you feel good as if you were precisely in the photo.
Let’s start with 1800s
1900
1910s
1920s
1930s
(btw, she reminds me of Madonna)
1940s
1950s
1960s
1970s
1980s
Make your choice!

Vintage and Retro Fonts
I love adding new fonts to my folder. Needless to say, they are “vintage” style all of them. Normally I save them to an external drive and use them when needed, but sometimes I forget it as I see a list of fonts appearing right in front of my very eyes whenever I use Adobe Photoshop, Essentials or Paint Shop Pro X2.
I also save them on two websites “just in case” but at times they are so beautiful I can’t help to add them directly to my hard drive and keep the folder as clean as possible, right now occupying just 477Mb, which is all a success.
Nevertheless, these that follow I have added them to the hard drive as well, as they look so nice and special.
These are:
Campanille
Fortuna’s Wein
Herald Square
Matchbox
Parisian
Here is how they look:
These fonts are free to download and the page has many more that might be of interest to you.

Spring Sprung
I find this dress absolutely beautiful, with this retro vintage allure, it is so perfect for springtime!
I love the combination of shoes color as well. And with the summer coming up, a light touch of sun tan would look wonderful as well! It is really sweet.
