Share In Style: Vintage


This post is a collaboration with the beautiful Sacramento, my dear friend whose blog Mis Papelicos is a constant source of inspiration to me. We are both posting outfit photos on the theme of Vintage, a subject very close to our hearts. Also linking up with Aminta, who with her blog Aminta Online creates these special weekly Share In Style posts with Sacramento.









 
 
 
 
 
 
Where the woodland streamlets flow,
Gushing down a rocky bed,
Where the tasseled alders grow,
Lightly meeting over head,
When the fullest August days,
Give the richness what they know,
Then the wild clematis comes,
With her wealth of tangled blooms,
Reaching up and drooping low.
 
And her fresh leaves only shade
That which is within her bower,
Like a curtain, lightly made,
Half to hide her virgin flower;
None too close to let the wind
Find a place to breathe between,
Where the wild bee cannot miss
All the sweetness that there is,
Underneath her tent of green.
 
And the sunlight flickers in,
So to touch her maiden breast;
And between her twists of vine
Sings the woodbird to his nest;
And the air is wondrous sweet,
And the twilight lingers long, -
And the young birds learn to fly
In among her greenery,
And she hears their earliest song.
 
But when Autumn days are here,
And the woods of Autumn burn,
Then her leaves are black and sere
Quick with early frosts to turn!
As the golden Summer dies,
So her silky green has fled,
And the smoky clusters rise
As from fires of sacrifice,
Sacred incense to the dead!

  3. Glorious 70s gipsy dress, scrambling clematis - both visual and aural (great poem) - AND Nick Drake. And as if that wasn't enough of a combination, then there's the divine Sacramento too. What a wonderful collaboration. Especially love the 4th image, you look as though you are sitting for a painting. Perfect summer's day post!

  19. Why dear ladies, you both look so splendidly fantastic! Emalina, I adore the captivating gypsy spirit of your vivid royal blue dress - it seems to call out to summer sky and speak of distant oceans at the same time. Enchantingly, fantastically beautiful warm weather look, dear gal.

  25. Beautiful blue gypsy! Your theme fits right into my azure mood. Even the poem is a lovely prelude to our weekend camping trip tomorrow. The flora may be a little different. But the blooms, vines, greenery and dappled sunlight will all be there. And the part I am looking most forward to -- thousands and thousands of stars! Wonderful to see dear Sacramento on your page as well. -- J xxx
