Old hat, new snow

-

Among all my hats, this black and red fedora is one of my favourites. I bought it years ago in a thrift shop, on a flea market specialized in vintage clothing and accessories. I liked it very much but I couldn't decide at that moment and also found it a bit expensive, but I kept thinking on the hat for the next couple of weeks and I came back and tried to negotiate the price which is customary in these shops. The third time I was not quite sure yet but then old movie actress famous for eccentric arrived to the shop and made me wonder for a moment if the hat was not too much.
So I decided to leave in a hurry, but of course, after buying the fedora.
 


 De todos los sombreros que tengo, esta fedora negra con rojo es de mis favoritos. Lo compré hace años en una tienda de accesorios y ropa vintage de un mercado de antiguedades.
Recuerdo que me gusto muchísimo pero en el momento no me decidí y además me pareció un poco caro. Y luego estuve pensando en el sombrero toda la semana asi que regresé un par de veces a mirarlo y a negociar el precio que es lo que se acostumbra en estos lugares. La tercera vez, cuando todavía no estaba del todo segura, llegó a comprar a la tienda una vieja actriz de cine, famosa por estrafalaria y entonces yo un poco avergonzada me pregunté si no estaba cometiendo un exceso.
Así que decidí marcharme a toda prisa, por supuesto despues de haber comprado la fedora.

The cloud

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast.  Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers, Lightning my pilot sits;    In a cavern under is fettered the thunder, It struggles and howls at fits; Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding me, Lured by the love of the genii that move In the depths of the purple sea;  Over the ril...

Nicely flat

Lots of them wore beige trench coats and those flat caps that made them look like boys who sold newspapers a hundred years ago. —  A.J. Cattapan   Flat caps were used in England since 14th century,  and their use was even mandatory for a while. This item became really trendy in the 20's, specially among workers and news boys, and was recently popularized by hip-hop culture.    This one tartan flat cap is form the traditional Obach Hat Shop in Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) and is one of my spring favourites.       Las boinas planas pueden rastrearle hasta la Inglaterra del siglo 14th, país en el que su uso incluso fué obligatorio por un tiempo. En los anos 20's se volvieron populares sobre todo entre la clase trabajadora y los niños voceadores.       Esta boina hecha de tartan es de en la tradicional sombrerería Obach de Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) y una de mi...
