This idea I came across at Portebello Market in London. All you need is an old plastic buckle and a tie. The buckle is easy to get a hold of secondhand.

You only need to use the narrow part of the tie, so cut it off to fit your neck, plus a little extra. Now sew the end to the middle part of the buckle. This is easy to do by hand with a few stitches. Put the other end through the buckle to fasten it. And, tada! Takes wearing a tie to a whole new level!

It’s pretty easy to do, but I have some more pictures if something is unclear.

There aren’t many good flea markets in Oslo. It’s not like Camden or Portebello in London. The market that is most similar though, allthough not nearly as big, is Blå. It’s open every Sunday, and since I live right next to it I usually stop buy. It’s more of a market where people sell stuff they make, which is great to find inspiration for what you can make yourself. There are also some seconhand stuff, and the quality is usually good. Since it is a market with ha higher standard than many others, the prices are of course influenced by that.

This Sunday I was short on cash, which was a pitty cause I saw some stuff I liked. In stead I took some pictures. I just took pictures from the outdoor part, but they also have a big indoor area which makes it possible for them to keep it open all year.

The huge glass chandeleir is so awsome!

These girls were selling homemade wool undies. They were really cute, grandma-style in shape, and had angels sewed on to them. I want to try making my own. Maybe I can get some pointers on SuperNaturale how to do this.
