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.

  • I hesitated for a second, which lane should I cover. In one end the flower fields profiled a happier exposure, with the bright colors all displayed perfectly in the sun, ranging from soft purples to deep yellows. The other, was quite the opposite, with trees producing a whimsical mystery and milder temperatures. Between the foliage, rays of sun lightened the sinuous path, like a stage of a theatre, throwing bits of it in a deep deep penumbra and delegating others to the backstage of the unknown. I’m terrible at decisions like this, I kept thinking. I usually leave it all to intuitiveness, not reminiscing too much on the options laying before me. I choose the unseen, like I often do in life, never looking back to the footsteps that are carved right me. I have of course repented this carefree disposition at times, but I always rather lament what I did than regret not doing it at all. .

  • Back home, after a sunny and warm day on the north of Portugal. Tired. Overjoyed. With all the beauty that is around us. I feel on eternal vacations, which is something I’m very grateful for, to have the will to see the unfamiliarity in what surrounds me. On another note, I read earlier today a post talking about where Instagram is headed. The curated feed vs reality. The already seen and done a hundred times before vs the messy hair and pyjamas while cooking. I must say I have conflicting thoughts about it. In one hand I like to see the reality (in stories) and on the other I like to see *original* and curated feeds in terms of inspiration. I understand that those two are fairly different, and I’m ok with it. What are your thoughts on it? Would love to know. . . . . . #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 #todayslovely #poetryofsimplethings
  • Soft are the colors that surround you. With your delicate touch and natural charm. Embodiment of childhood dreams, unaware of the clouds that cover the skyline right behind you. You keep jumping streams, dancing in flowered fields, breathing the nature you carry within, like butterflies do in spring. The dusk settles in. And the breeze is a little bit colder than anticipated, unsettling the surface of your skin. Headed home, you collect moments, humming songs not usual on the radio, sinking in your own world, where you belong. Happy. Free. Young. Sweet. How I wish all my days would seem. .

  • Maybe you miss the human factor in my photos. Maybe some messiness even. But I can’t help it. I’m spellbound with settings like these. They make me dream. Romanticize stories in which they are the canvas. And that’s what I love most about my work. What it says and doesn’t say. What it invites and weaves. Love. Life. Do you wish it differently? . . . . . #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 #lindaeliassonworkshop #todayslovely #poetryofsimplethings
  • It was there. Just visible enough for me to take it in. Captivated, I stood in wonderment for a little while, between the foliage and my overactive imagination. The house, object of my curiosity, was framed perfectly, with its white washed paint and quaint facade. I wondered who might have build such a display of comfort and warmly dwelling, must be the romantic type, I wondered. But I did not see anyone coming in or out, not a shutter open nor close, not a living or a soul. It was still, like I was, with the trees making odd patterns on the windows and the birds chirping on the ceiling. It had some kind of bucolic sentiment, the kind that I like. So after I memorize it’s traits, I kept going, imagining stories in that setting, all the years that would pass, all the children and lovers that would welcome in time, and live, hopefully in its corners. . . . . . #seasonspoetry #seekinspirecreate #myeverydaymagic #livemoremagic #aseasonalshift #quietinthewild #thatauthenticfeeling #alliseeispretty #poetryofsimplethings #verilymoment #dslooking #ardentfinds #provinciallife #allwhatsbeautiful #lifeunscripted #houseandgarden #capturequiet #lifeandthyme #nestandflourish #moodygrams #aquietstyle #theverydayproject #bevisuallyinspired #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #artofslowliving #liveauthentic #momentslikethese #embracingslowerlife
  • We’ll probably dance under the moon in a warm September evening. Inspired by the candle light dinner and the glasses of Italian wine over the table. We’ll likely share stories long buried within, create new ones for sure. Those kinds of stories that will keep our imagination afloat, long after the lights are out and we’re rested in our bed linens. For me this is the best part of workshops, the real connections made out of beautiful moments. . I’ve started drafting the chapters of the journey we’ll take on the Tuscany Workshop later this summer. And it’s heartening to even think about it, there will be so many surprises to inspirit, to kindle new roads of creativity. I can’t wait to share it with you. There’s still * two spots left * for this photography & storytelling retreat with @veronicacharlottlifestyle.
