Strolling Around Vienna

Strolling around Vienna...

We started with visiting Naschmarkt where there is flea market every Saturday.
The area is full with beautiful old buildings. I spotted this vintage hexagon balcony. Isn't it gorgeous?

Parking space was totally full.

Then it was raining. Do you know which one is me peeking secondhands under that large plastic wrap? This one sold mostly Monki.

The rain was so annoying so we run across to cafe Savoy. It has wonderful classic interior and crowded but cozy atmosphere seen in my previous post here. I ordered hot chocolate with cream which was usually served in a pretty white cup with black Mozart cameo silhouette on it. I looked trough window several time checking out the weather.

When the sun finally smiled again we went back to flea market. I browsed trough a huge pile of 80s 90s clothes while my husband Mike was hunting for shots (the people there were amazing, all kind of interesting street styles and unique characters).

My thrift-gret of this year! A Miu Miu kitten heels. I thought too long to buy it or not and ended up by putting them back. The seller said: "It's your fault!". I know.... Beside that it was actually half size number smaller, I was just so much considering my arthritis feet that I only wanted to buy flat shoes in which I can put my orthopedic custom insoles. Now that my feet are good enough to a short walk in kitten heels, I want those shoes!

After saw this photo my husband said the shoes don't look that awesome but i still like them according to what I've recorded in my mind.

What is your biggest thrift regret?

 

It had been a long summer day time. I didn't realized that the flea market was almost over before the sun went down. Some of the sellers had left the place (the Miu Miu shoes seller had been gone earlier). Some of them brought home their stuffs but tons of things just left over dirty and wet. People insanely picked them up before they would be scooped and thrown in garbage truck. (I too picked up a bag! Such a hoarding, help!).

Anyway, I bought one thing that I know i would need it during summer: straw hat! 1 Euro.

We walk trough the next market where we bought Falafels with Melanzani dip. Nyumm.... Sorry I have no photo of Falafels but below is a photo of me eating them. Falafel is Middle East food, a fried ball made from chickpeas, beans and spices. 20 balls of falafels around 2 Euros, that was the cheapest price we got.

How do I look? It reminds me of some tourists in my country.

We continued to stroll around discovering more and more vintage building, statues and ornaments. I would like to take photos of them without modern sticks and traffic signs though.

And archs! I love walking trough archs.

All kind of bikes from Harley, Vespa (with Italian flag on the front of it), big bikes, small bikes and even the cute Twizi, the little two seats car.

I also love the oxidized copper roof. The color turned green. It became more antique and charming.

Vienna has a lot of yellow walls that glow under the sun. I like that I capture the yellow color with red stripes next to it.

In the evening the sunlight washed the city. It made such dramatic views. It was wonderful time and city to stroll around indeed. We had more round before my poor feet started to feel sore but I keep them for some times later. Hope it's okay. :) 

Have a super inspiring week!

Color Theme: Creamy Beige

Once upon a time...

We went to Tulln and I saw this creamy bike when I sat on a wooden bench.

 In Schönbrunn palace Vienna, I found a creamy guard post left empty.

Then still in Vienna, I met ...I don't know, looked like Zeus? Amazing sculpture that I saw them emotionally alive.

Once I couldn't sleep and nervous so I took a walk trough an alley in the night and spotted creamy grass.

Back in Tulln I love this corner where a creamy building looked like a little piece of a castle.

Many kilometers away we had a road trip and passed trough below a creamy bridge.

That's our color exploration today post, now I want to eat a crunchy creamy Austrian wafer Männer and aspire creamy vintage dress of Audrey Hepburn. Crunch...crunch...wish you have a super inspiring day!

Warm hugs,
Chachamisu

Color theme: 8 Things in Pastel Yellow

Hi. Do you like butter milk and banana smoothie colors? I have another pastel yellow inspirations for you from architecture, old timer car etc. This colors come beautifully together with purple, pink, yellow and white. They could be sweet, yummy, elegant, romantic, classic, even masculine. Take a look!

Painted wall and windows. (Austria)

Impala old timer. Handsome and elegant. (Austria)

Romantic and Feminine Roses. (Austria)

Color theme: Pastel Green and Mint

I have new category/labels on my blog that is called Color Theme. In this category you will see photographs I group by same color. I have made previously some posts which were relevant to this. However now is the first time I launch it officially.

I have seen recently the color pastel green or mint everywhere in this colorful world. Such a big trend. Here are some my photographs with pastel green or mint I have collected from random places especially for you, for your inspiration and perhaps refreshing your tired starring at screen eyes at the same time.

Personally i like this color, it has a shooting effect in this hot summer. How about you?

 Sankt Pölten, Austria. City bike, such a pretty way to cycle the pedal.

 

 Somewhere around our town. Ford old timer. It has been claimed as former my mother and law's car years ago and the color has never been changed till present.

Sankt Pölten. Those two guys didn't know each other. Both wore green stripes cloth. Cute coincidence happened. Lucky I was there in the right time to catch.

 

Gasoline retail in Jogja, Indonesia. Notice the one color shade the door and windows at the back.

Geometric wall paint in Sankt Pölten. This is my old photo I blogged at my old blog Picontagious but with different digital photo effect.

I love the bottom part but certainly not the hole at the top part. I imagined this wall color with all white decor items. Would be awesome. I forgot where it was taken, somehere in South East Asia.

We had a little picnic style dinner at our friend's backyard. There were tea, coffee, wine and kind of homemade fruit juice preserved.

I hope you like my new feature and I wish you inspiring and refreshing weekend :).
