Rose-Coloured Dreams

{This is just my little corner to share all the things that inspire me and add colour to everyday.} I am a hopeless romantic, lover of all things old-fashioned, a dreamer who has longed to travel back to the 18th century. I love the quiet days of summer to wile away the hours in a good book (especially anything by the Brontes); to paint and dream on rainy afternoons; to wear vintage dresses; to hear the glorious wind of autumn and watch the season unfold; to walk along wooded lanes, or wander about antique shops-- to add a little bit of that old-fashioned charm and simplicity to the common everyday life. I am twenty-two, and currently a full-time college student majoring in Fashion Design and Merchandising but with an avid love for classic literature and an obsession with history. "Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead." ~Louisa May Alcott

My favourite song from the Vespers

[9ri]

I recently read an interview from a local celebrity and she claimed that she likes Victorian era stuff. However, upon further reading, she said that she really likes those 18th century stuff including Marie Antoinette and her fashion. And I was like… girl, Marie Antoinette is NOT Victorian. In fact, she was already dead (d.1793) before the Victorian era started (1837-1901).

For further clarifications, I’d suggest you go check out That’s Not Victorian. The blog master’s doing a good job on identifying mislabeled posts :)

AMEN TO THIS

[rose-coloured-dreams]

I second that amen! I can't say how much the history nerd in me gets so irritated when people don't know Victorian from Rococo, or Romantic from Georgian.

All my human relationships have to do with a mask of me, and I must perpetually be the victim of living a completely hidden life.

Friedrich Nietzsche, from Selected Letters  (via paleviolet)

I have never read a quote that so expressed the sad portrait of my life.

The Thirty Day Book and Literature Challenge

day 2. Your five least favourite books

Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer

Candide by Voltaire

The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford

as I could not think of a 5th one, I shall put my least favourite childhood story, Squirrel Nutkin (the only Beatrix Potter book I disliked due to the fact that the squirrel's tail was torn off by the owl, which distressed me to say the least).
