Vintage Treasures in London

I was reading one of my favourite fashion magazine yesterday when I stumbled in an article about vintage fashion in London...the journalist was mentioning in her article Judith Michael as one - or probably the best- vintage shop in London.Since I had not heard of it...(I know it's terrible :)) I checked the website and found some itneresting information.
Judith Michael and her daughter are running a vintage shop in Primrose Hill in London, close to Camden Town. It does seem to be an interesting place and almost everything is on sale (scented candles, accessories, jewels)..I ll probably hit her shop next time I ll be in London....
Have a look at www.judithmichael.com in the meanwhile...

I AM GUILTY (because of some 70s vintage lamps)

I am guilty because I have just bought these beautiful 70's lamps from Il Labirinto, one of my favorite vintage shops in Bologna. I am guilty because I have paid quite a lot for these beautiful lamps which used to belong to a German couple (they were one of their wedding presents when they got married in 1973 - or at least this what the owner of Labirinto said...and honestely if these lamps ended up in a vintage shop in Bologna, I am starting to wonder what happened to the German couple and their marriage :))

Anyway here are the 2 lamps!! The funny thing is that I have never liked the orange color until probably last year... but now I would buy everything (ok, almost everything) in orange!
These 2 lovely, 70s vintage lamps will be transported to Budapest next time we go there and one of them will definitely be postioned on  my bedside table.
The light they make is very soft and warm!



I have made a research on the internet and found out that in the 70s...orange was definitely THE COLOR! and obviously I have found tons of other orange lamps I love!

Have a look at pics below!

The vintage lamp below was designed  has a name - Alux Globespot -  and was designed in the early 1960s by E Graae and H Helger...(ok, Danish people know how to do beautiful things!)
This version, dating to the late 1960s or 1970s, is all made of glossy metal .


I wouldn't probably live in such colorful houses, but they are beautiful, aren't they?
