A Day in the Country - A Snap, A Set, A Song

For this week's A Snap, A Set, A Song, the theme is Country. After going through the templates on polyvore I found my inspiration. The colours, frames, and leaves of the template make me think of the film A Picnic at Hanging Rock, so this is my modern take on the romantic vintage look as seen in the film.

And a song by Taylor Swift:


 I totally love the art deco and Wizard of Oz influences in this clip, and the song is brilliant - pretty tune and perfect lyrics, especially for anyone feeling jaded about their friendships.

Pop over to Thea's blog, A Snap, A Set and a Song for some more interpretations of the Country theme, and play along if the inspiration takes you!

  3. Totally gorgeous! I love your style. The colours are so soft. You reminded me that I saw Picnic at Hanging Rock in a small Brisbane theatre years ago, it was so good. Haven't seen the movie, should rectify that huh? Taylor Swift is so lovely. I hadn't heard this one, but all of her songs are good! My brother took my 13 yo neice to see her a few weeks ago. What a first concert for her!

    1. The movie is pretty spooky. It's fiction, but I still wouldn't visit Hanging Rock - ha!

      I only discovered Taylor Swift this year when I saw this video at a friend's place. She has pretty songs. xx
