Maybe I am a little old fashioned...

I'll admit it, I love myself some vintage. As much as I love the twenty first century and all the opportunities and technology it brings I just like the nostalgia of the past; the clothes, the music and the simpler life. Nothing makes me happier than staying in on a cold winters night and watching an Audrey Hepburn film or Casablanca.

I've been thinking though, could I have actually lived back then? I really don't think so, there's so many things in my life that I wouldn't have the guts to give up, like the internet and all the positive aspects of our society as it is. Would I enjoy the movies and clothes so much if I had actually been there?

Though if I had some sort of Doctor Who time machine (including the delightful Matt Smith maybe?) I would love to visit...

The early 20's in America - the fun, the flappers and the cool jazz music.

The 50's - it just seems so inviting, I don't know why but I would have loved to see what it was like living the 1950's lifestyle.

The 1960's - THE CLOTHES! I would have loved to see Beatle mania in full swing, the peace movement and the music up close.

If you had a time machine which decade would you want to go back to? Any events? Have you ever thought what it would be like to live in a different time?

All my love, A Cat named Cat x

  1. I've often wondered this question. Despite the fact that I LOVE 40s fashion and adore 50s furniture I think I would opt for the roaring 20s. Pre-WW2 NYC what fun that must of been.
