Liebster award vol. 2

In the last post I told I got two Liebster awards. It means I got some question to answer from two kind bloggers! I´ve already answered to Cherise´s questions and now it´s time to answer Jessica´s:

1. Before you got into vintage clothing, did you rock another way of dressing?
I don´t know if I rocked them but in my teens I experimented with few styles. First there was hiphop and baggy jeans. Then came a red mohawk. Before I fell in love with 1940's, I tried out a mix of 70's, 60's and 50's clothing.

2. What is your non-vintage guilty pleasure? (For example mine is listening to dance and dubstep from time to time.)
I have many non-vintage guilty pleasures. For example I love reggaeton dance and music. I danced non-stop for about 17 years. Now it is more occasional. My dancing hasn´t ever had anything to do with vintage. I haven´t danced any jive, jitterbug or such. The closest I´ve gotten with old dances was step dancing. My other guilty pleasures are modern day movies and tv-series.

3. Sweet or savory food?
Both! My friends say that I have two stomachs: one for savory foods and another for sweets. No matter how much savory foods I eat there is always room for something sweet. And vice versa.

4. What do you draw 'vintage' inspiration from most, magazines, films, blogs, or something totally different?
I must say blogs, old movies and friends. I also read old magazines and collect literature about 1940's style.

5. Favourite subject in school? (If it's maths I will have to unfollow you.)
I loved to study and I love to teach biology. If it is possible as a teacher I would like to spend almost the whole time out in the woods or yard with the kids. I also love ethics and other conversational subjects.

6. Have you ever been compared to a classic idol of yours, and if yes, who?
No, I don´t think I have.

7. Name some vintage item you will probably never have enough of. (and don't all answer dresses or shoes, please)
You can never have too many hair barrettes!

8. Best thing you have ever done or has ever happened to you in your entire life?
Hmm..meeting my fiancé, getting into university and having great friends.. But all the best moments aren´t so huge. There are some things that make you smile a long time after, like when I danced in rain at a concert or when me and my friend gazed upon stars on a wharf for hours or just a lazy summer day in our summer cottage with our dog.

9. Copying L-K's question here: What place or country would you love to be travelling to or through one day and why?
If the journey had to last only a day, I would pick Oriental express (if it is possible to travel only a day with it)!

10. Tell me your weirdest habit please.
I had to ask this one from my fiancé and he said I get fixated on some tv-series and I can watch a lot of episodes in a row - which is kind of true.

11. Favourite antique thing you ever bought under 10 euros (or pounds or dollars - at least very cheap). No clothing piece.  :)
I love bargains! They are the cherry of this hobby! Most of my jewelry are this kind of bargains. The most peculiar antique bargain was an early 1900's mourning bag which was made from black satin like fabric and embellished with black grouned beads. The bag contained two pairs of crocheted black gloves, a lace mourning shawl and a mourning veil.
