Hot summer outfit in style of 1950s with real vintage refurbished straw wide brim platter hat

Flea markets are rare in Spain. Mostly they are in large cities such as Barcelona. But they don't exist in my small city.  Small shops partly substitute them. They are widespread everywhere.  While they can’t be called antique, some of them have "antique prices". That is, cheap garbage is sold under the guise of something valuable, very, very expensive. Moreover, often these overpriced items lie on the floor and deteriorate. I call these establishments "flea stores". If you're lucky, you can find cheap, but valuable vintage items.  I found the hat I wear on photos in one of such small flea stores. It was not in the best shape - the veil had deteriorated, the hat itself was badly wrinkled.  So me and my photographer friend (after that we can call ourselves milliners!), had to put in a lot of effort to get it in order. It was no other way! I love hats. I have a passion for them. I want my collection of them to grow.  But lately, the stock of hats around ...

Sketch about Summer, Spring & Winter, or I will be missing you, Spring...

To be honest, I don't like summer. My favorite time of year is spring. I like that it is not hot and not cold, but is comfortable in full dress, that is, in a suit: a skirt or dress with a jacket. When I was a child, I loved summer. Always looked forward to something unusual and exciting. Probably because I read too many children's adventure novels. And the highest temperature then, as a rule, was 30 degrees Celsius, not 40 or 50. Now, having grown and becoming a writer myself, I realized that something unusual and exciting is happening without reference to the season. In general, in Spain, summer is a nightmare. Heat, insects, tourists, dust, burning desert wind, dirty streets, sizzling sun, a minimum of fresh air, a maximum of bad, noise and din... Maybe the reason for my dislike for summer, among other things, lies in the fact that some of my ancestors, after all, were northerners (Lithuanians, English, Celts, Vikings, etc.) and therefore I can’t stand the heat? Although at ...

Archive of 2022-2023: Warm winter outfit in style of the 1924

In my lookbook, there are no outfits from the 1920s, or it would be more correct to say there were no ones before these years. The 1920s are very specific, unusual and different. These are not the clichés of "The Great Gatsby" or "Downton Abbey" that abound on blogs showing short modern dresses above the knees and glamorous over-photoshopped women smoking thin cigars with a mouthpiece. In fact, it was an ordinary time when people lived and these people wore ordinary everyday clothes. Moreover, their skirts never were above the knees. Moreover, at the beginning of that decade, they were very long in general. Cloche hats were certainly in fashion, but they were not the only ones. This is also one of the clichés of nowdays to consider that, apart from the cloche hat, they wore no any other headgears. In fact, if you look at the hat magazines of those times, you can see that this was not so. Even more, in several issues I have looked through, the cloche hat was not ment...
