The Season of Love

Valentines day is here in three days, and in preparation I have been looking for cute valentines cards to give to my friends. It is quite hard to find any vintage ones where I live, so I found some that would still work if you printed them out. Now I do recommend  using a thick paper to print them on just so they do not get wrinkled. A cute idea would be to tape some candy to them. Here are some of my favourites.






I hope you have an amazing Valentines Day, and make sure to spend time with your loved ones.

Bomb Girls

Hello everyone! Sorry I have not updated in awhile, I was busy writing final this past week and now I am finally done. Today I am showing you some stills from the television show Bomb Girls. 

It is set in the 1940's and is about a group of girls working in a munitions factory. It is set in Ontario, Canada which is quite exciting I find haha, and it is a Canadian made show. The costumes in this are absolutely beautiful and are quite authentic. Here are some stills from the second season that I really like. 






If you are generally interested in the 1940's, I really suggest you watch this. Along with great costumes, it also has an interesting plot and quite a few funny moments. 

What shows set in the past do you watch?

Fashion Inspiration from 1940

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I have been quite busy with school at the moment considering finals are coming up in two weeks. Anyways, today I would like to show some beautiful pictures, ads, and illustrations I found that offer great inspiration for a 1940's look.





(I think the light blue dress on the very top left is absolutely adorable! This add was from a 1948 Seventeen Magazine)
