So far this year has been flying by very quickly. I also feel that summer has been just a fleeting guest this year, at least in Northern Germany. Somehow it is sad that the cheerful and bright season only lasted for such a short time. I didn’t really feel summery to be honest. Thus, I am still dreaming of sunnier days… Sirinya wearing Dolly and Dotty swing dress [picture @floeriohh) 1950s inspired vintage outfit What could be more suitable than to express this fleeting sensation with a series of black and white pictures?

Sirinya Vintage is back from a summer break. But still there is a lot to talk about vintage summer dresses, no? Today I’d like to present you my favourite dresses by The Seamstress of Bloomsbury.

Today I’d like to talk about beetle wing art and decoration. This kind of jewelry was very popular in Thailand but also in Europe in the 19th century. Perhaps you know that I am half Thai . Thus I am also interested in particular vintage Thai decoration.

Lately I’ve felt quite drawn to 70s inspired boho outfits. Admittedly, now and then, I love the bohemian style for the free spirit that it conveys. I may have mentioned before that I haven’t yet settled for one particular vintage style or era. Perhaps you’ve already read my post about the 70s inspired romper outfits?

Perhaps I am still in the process of becoming and developing style. Maybe I can also say that it mirrors my personal deve ..read more

Lately I have realized how difficult it is to develop relationships with other people because of my difficult family situation.

I am aware that this problem has in always existed throughout my life but it has increased since my dad has been seriously ill. I am pretty ..read more
