My Favourite Vintage Knitting Etsy Stores!

Since about a year, I've taken up knitting. Why, you may ask? Because there are tons of clothes I see the pretty ladies in movies wear, that I can't find anywhere! I love the 1950s style, but I either have to sell my kidneys to pay for it, or I can't find anything like it.…

Good Housekeeping

A few months ago, I made a blogpost about my vintage magazine collection. Since then, it's gotten out of hand (as you'll notice in upcoming posts...) and I wanted to share with you why I collect them, and maybe inspire you into collecting them too! Though, I hope not too many of you will, as…

My vintage magazine collection

I love vintage magazines, not only do they show a real glimpse into the past, it's also history you can actually touch. I love to read them, I love to look at the photos and pictures, and use them as inspiration for my life and clothing! I only started collecting late 2018, but it's already…

Vintage & Chronic Illness

Instagram has been full of unpopular opinions of vintage fashion, lately. And I noticed a few things: people are tired of the "rules". Which is funny to me, fashion has no rules. Like, ever. There were certain types of fashion during certain eras, but that doesn't mean you have to follow those. As I'm chronically…

Review: The 1940s Look by Mike Brown

It's no secret that I love mid century fashion, and books on it are some of my favourites! So today I'm going to talk about the 1940s Look by Mike Brown. Continuing interest in life on the Home Front during the Second World War means that the style of the 1940s has never been more…

Review: Fashion in the 1940s by Jayne Shrimpton

Like I said last week, I'm really into 1940s fashion lately. So I ordered this little book to inspire me. It's only a tiny book, about 120 pages, so I was wondering how much information could be put in such a short time, but I enjoyed it very much! This book talks about children's, women's…

Review: 1940’s Hairstyles by Daniela Turudich

I can't start writing again, without starting to review a vintage-styled book! I'm mostly a 50s kind of gal, but lately I've been enjoying the 1940s style more, so I wanted to read a book about hairstyles, as the 1940s have some beautiful hairstyles for the working girl, and as I am a new working…

Review: Audrey at Home by Luca Dotti

I love Audrey Hepburn so much. Not only was she an amazing actress and style icon, but she was an amazingly kind humanbeing as well. If there's anyone I look up to, it's her. And a book written by her son sounds just about right up my alley! This is basically a book full of…

Review: Vintage Secrets Hollywood Beauty by Laura Slater

I've read so many vintage beauty books that I'm surprised that I haven't read them all yet! This is the newest one to my collection, and I was a bit weary reading it. I'm not sure why, but I was! Did my gut feeling prove me right? A stylish and informative guide to beauty from…

Tips for a vintage look

  I don't want to say that I'm an expert on what clothes I wear, I wear kind of what I like whenever I feel like it, I have always been that way. But the only style I feel 100% comfortable with is the more vintage/retro style. I especially wear more 40s/50s/60s styles and it…
