About
This is a blog about my vintage finds, whether it be decor, photographs, LPs, hairstyles or clothing.
I tend to focus my interests on 1930s to early 1960s nostalgia, as I feel this is the most fashionable & exciting of times in most pop culture aspects. Even my career is rooted in 1940s design and 1950s technology in the mid-century turned new millennium. Personally, I enjoy aviation, entertaining, fine dining, playing the accordion & piano, collecting mid-century LPs, sunshine & painting with acrylics. My favorite musical artists include Lawrence Welk, Xavier Cugat, Astrud Gilberto, Paul Whiteman, Dean Martin & White Zombie. Hoping others will find inspiration and appreciation for a cultured past is my goal. If you'd like to get to know me better & learn about life as an Air Force aviator, check out my blog. |

Do you dress in a way that invites trouble?
I sure hope so.

Catherine Deneuve in Vice and Virtue, 1963. That’s the thing about movies from the 60s, no matter what time period the movie takes place in, the hairstyles and makeup are all decidedly 1960s. Oddly enough, I wore this hairstyle out to dinner last night: ♥, without the tight curls.
