1920s

I love these 1920s-inspired photos by Julia Galdo. Not only for the gorgeous vintage theme and outfits, but there's a subtle sense of sadness and longing that I think is captured quite beautifully.

i love so much these photos.there's something that makes me wanna jump in there.the feminine air, the chic outfits with lovely colours and patterns and amazing tights in the last photo, the autumn-ly feeling about them....so beautiful:)thanks for sharing:)

I thikn 20s are slowly becoming my fave decade! It's very tight with 50s though... it used to be 80s but then it got too commercial and all the 12-15years olds are wearing it so wrongly now that my heart just couldnt take it. But I dont believe 20s offer as much opportunities to be trashed, becasue, let's face it- 80s were asking for it to be trashed werent they ? :)
anyhow, my point- good post! :)

Rebecca said...

I love the second one and last one most of all! These are so beautiful, and you're right about them being sort of sad! In a kind of dreamy way. :)

stdgals said...

the vintage fashion is definitely cool and the pixs has a sad poetic feel... great posts. thanks for sharing..

babalisme said...

I spend my entire life to get my hair curled up like that. I even once brought a picture of the hairstyle to a hairdresser only to came up look like Shirley Temple in steroids.

Bree said...

These photos are so lovely, & inspirational! Thank you for sharing!

Juju said...

I wish I can warp back in time to the 20's.

Shanna Suburbia said...

The Roarin' 20's was always my favorite historical era... where everyone had the guts to break all the rules and it was okay. The ladies of this time had such a beautiful balance of elegance and boldness, exactly like how these pictures captured. Thanks for sharing!

LookingGlassGirl said...

Lovely, lovely images. Particularly the one with the girl lying on the staircase.

Little Bo Peeep said...

Ahhh beautiful photographs, i adore the serene colours esp. on that first picture :)

Gorgeous. I really need to look up and explore photographers more. Wouldn't it be grand to live in one of these photos even if only for a few moments.

RE: Yes, Frankie is great! I've been savoring it by only reading a few pages at a time. Hehe.
