Old fashion date night

-

I use to love to wear costumes when I was a little girl and of course that has not disappear at all. I found this burgundy hat in a second hand charity shop and was love at the first sight. I decided to use it for a formal night out, with an also vintage lace dress, my old and heavy Astrakhan coat, pearls, and long gloves of course. 
I had fun, cocktails, lovely companion and my costume made me felt a bit in one of my favourite black and white movies. Not exactly “La dolce Vita”, but “All about Eve” neither.

Cuando era niña me encantaba disfrazarme y por supuesto esa afición no la he perdido con los años. Encontré este sombrerito en una de las tiendas de segunda mano que visito a menudo y fue amor a primera vista. Decidí estrenarlo en una noche especial, con un (también vintage) vestido negro de encaje, mi viejo y pesado abrigo de astrakhan, perlas y guantes largos por supuesto

No se si fué la compañía, los cócteles o el disfraz, pero me lo pasé de lo mas divertida sintiéndome en alguna de las películas en blanco y negro que me gustan tanto. Digamos que no exactamente “La dulce Vita” pero tampoco “All about Eve”.

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...

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...
