The Good Old-Fashioned is a journal that captures the intimacy of halcyon moments in the bucolic and provincial way of life. Sometimes abode roaming in the pantry, between family and friends and often wandering to some undiscovered places. It's in the poetry of the simple things that is found the beauty of mundane life.

  • My voice echoed through the rocks, rolled in the waves and returned back with the same sound as uttered. The abeyance of live in that coastline would probably know a different scene in warmer seasons, but there, where the day and night are melted in a pale shade of grey and the cold wrinkles your skin and makes your body move in the most unbecoming desultory manner, there is this view. This breathtaking view. . #letterstochristmas . . . #pathport #cntraveler #beautifuldestinations #facadelovers #straightfacade #culturetrip #beautifulmatters #spotoftheday #verilymoment #littlestoriesofmylife #theprettycities #lifeunscripted #ardentfinds #fellowmag #allwhatsbeautiful #seeingthepretty #myeverydaymagic #aseasonalshift #themidwintermovement #holdthemoment #smallmomentsofcalm #livesimple #kinfolklife #feelfreefeed #theeverydayproject #gritandvirtue #theslowdowncollective #cornersofmyworld
  • Upon that quaint road, houses filled with gold in Saint Lucia’s parade. It is a quivering show, looking at it from the shore, in that first line of warm painted red and pearl abodes. We capitulate the season and light up the candles to keep up the tradition of this Yuletide season. Light the fire, held our hands warm. We wrapped the first presents and hitched our gaze on that darkened horizon, where the shadows live till a new dawn is risen to cristalize trees, waves in a windsome, unforgettable composition. . . . #letterstochristmas . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #christmastime #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #advent #christmas #lifeandthyme #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • As I stand here, comfortably wrapped in my bed blankets, looking out the window admiring the spectacle of trees dancing and wrapping leaves and branches into one another, I finally remember that we are at a mere 12 days till Christmas. The sense of peaceful entertainment was suddenly replaced by the anguish of having an endless list of presents to get to my love ones, and no clue whatsoever what to do about it. Please help! Can I hear some thoughts? Please 🌲 . . #letterstochristmas . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #christmastime #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #advent #christmas #lifeandthyme #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • To every traveler, there is the plan devised and the actual journey itself. And on that account, one often romanticize the little impertinences that is submitted to. The uncomfortable mattress, the rain falling impiously days on end, the lost luggage at the airport. For any traveler more prone to this kind of discords, this small matters are large enough to forecast poorly the whole ordeal. For me. It’s quite the contrary. I rather find it all much more interesting. So yes. I am currently sitting here, in that far, far away land. With no bags, rain falling outside, but with a very comfortable bed. And happy. As one should be 😌 . . . . #littlestoriesofmylife #momentsofmine #aquietstyle #verilymoment #inspiremyinstagram #thatauthenticfeeling #seekthesimplicity #feelfreefeed #theartofslowliving #postitfortheaesthetic #momentslikethese #alifeofintention #capturingcolour #lovelysquares #theeverydayproject #documentlife #petitejoys #tv_living #thehappynow #simplepleasures #livethelittlethings #momentslikethis #darlingmovement #pursuepretty #farmtotable #todayslovely #poetryofsimplethings #livecolorfully
  • I’ve been filling up my bag so many times lately, I’m getting kind of a pro at it. After Paris, my venture takes me north where snow is a common language and cold finds it’s way into the fringes of my sweater. Being from Portugal it’s very unlikely to find such temperatures, so I’m gearing up with turtlenecks and cozy knits, and crossing my fingers I don’t look like a giant snowman while walking the pavements of that city. 🙈 . . . . . #prettycityparis #pathport #cntraveler #beautifuldestinations #facadelovers #straightfacade #culturetrip #beautifulmatters #spotoftheday #verilymoment #littlestoriesofmylife #theprettycities #lifeunscripted #ardentfinds #fellowmag #allwhatsbeautiful #seeingthepretty #myeverydaymagic #aseasonalshift #themidwintermovement #holdthemoment #smallmomentsofcalm #livesimple #kinfolklife #feelfreefeed #theeverydayproject #gritandvirtue #theslowdowncollective #cornersofmyworld
  • The boxes are in the attic, collecting layers of dust on top of each other. They remain hidden throughout the year - from Kings day to the first advent of December - weaving memories of family gatherings and Christmas carols playing on the radio. Orange slices are in the oven filling the rooms with that cozy feeling of winter. The ginger cookies on the table, candles placed on holders, wreaths of pine trees are decorated and mistletoes garlands carefully arranged on the entry. And while at it, I open the wooden boxes, set apart the silky paper and uncover those familiar little family heirlooms that have been collected for ages. Happy advent my friends. Let the best season begin 🌲✨ . #letterstochristmas . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #christmastime #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #advent #christmas #lifeandthyme #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
