Rosa-Lee, the newest boutique in town

 

Rosa-Lee is a boutique that recently opened in the center of Herk-de-Stad (Limburg, Belgium) and we can already testify that it is definitely filling a void in this not so big but charming city. It sells clothing for women and children, accessories, purses, gadgets and knickknacks, but what makes Rosa-Lee unique is the fact that all the items are retro and vintage inspired. Think cute vintage dresses, purses and jewelry with a 40's and 50's vibe in a space that breathes authenticity and with an indefinite amount of eye for detail. Just look at the decor of the room and you will most definitely agree with us.

With summer ahead of us (yes, I'm dreaming/hallucinating), the time is exactly right to start the hunt for that twirly vintage summer dress and we are damn sure that you will find your pick at Rosa-Lee's. Moreover, the service is very friendly and you will be able to get help and styling advice, all accompanied by a smile. Also, when searching for cute birthday gifts, Rosa-Lee is the place to be as I'm sure Lies will ascertain.

I myself fell in love with multiple things (I do a lot of falling in love on this blog): ponyhaired belts and purses (!), the cutest summer dress (check it in the picture), a glitter vest... Too bad it was the end of the month when we visited and for me that means holding off on buying stuff 'till the next paycheck. Booh! But Rosa-Lee, I will return and go back home bearing gifts to my closet! And may I suggest that if you live nearby or ever are in the neighbourhood, you visit this shop? You won't be sorry!

Bazaar Bizar the fourth

Bazaar Bizar strikes again! There have been three editions yet (first one back in 2010 already!), followed by a Deluxe edition. On the 26th of April, Bazaar Bizar will organise what will be their fourth regular edition, and they're still looking for people to join in on the fun!

Say what?! You have no idea what 'Bazaar Bizar' means? It means: vintage, handmade and second hand market, organised in Herk-de-Stad and stuffed with cosyness! So if you have what it takes (read: vintage treasures, handmade stuff, design skills,..) send an e-mail with some photos to: elinerodiers(at)gmail.com or annesophiechristiaens(at)gmail.com. 

This time Bazaar Bizar will take place in cooperation with 'Hartstocht', and will be an evening market. Who doesn't want to sell anything, can also come and go crazy whilst shopping, joining workshops, enjoying some theater, performances and so on! 

For any more information, you can check the Facebook page of Bazaar Bizar. And to get you guys all excited, here are some pictures of the previous editions!
