Friday Photo Swoon – Girls' Day Out


August, that oh so hot hot month, is the perfect time to get your girlfriends together for a sunshine filled outing! Here are some exuberant photos of lovely vintage gals spending some much needed girl time in the sun! 

Besides wanting pretty much every one of their outfits, there is some fantastic hair inspiration here too. Check out the photo of the girls sitting with their backs to us at a soda shop below. The girl's hairstyle on the right hand side of that photo is FANtastic!

Thursday Thrill – Peridot


August, shrouded in a pollened haze, lazily bats her eyes at the beating sun as a heavy humidity envelopes one after another of rolling afternoons.

Peridot

1940s Day Dress #peridot #1940s #dress

Long drawn, the cool, green shadows
Steal o'er the lake's warm breast, 
And the ancient silence follows 
The burning sun to rest.

The calm of a thousand summers,
And dreams of countless Junes,
Return when the lake-wind mumurs
Thro' golden, August noons.

William Stanley Braithwaite
