Today I attended a super fun vintagey event located at the Flushing Meadow Park in Queens, New York. We haven't had a World's Fair in New York for sometime now. The first was in 1939 and the last in 1964. The 1964 World's Fair has special meaning to me because my father actually performed with his band as a teenager at the fair. As a special node to him and the fair I did a photo shoot there a few years back that you can see HERE.

I put together my first vlog for you and hope to be creating more vlogs of vintagey events for my channel which you can find HERE.

Tune in this week for a look at the super fun 1960's does 1980's ode to Pretty in Pink outfit I wore to the fair!

This past weekend I attending a really fun event that I will share with you in my next post but before we headed off to the event I decided to do a quick impromptu video of how I put together a really simple but cute 1960's inspired outfit.

That time of day was really sunny and so my husband who was recording didn't notice that there were shadows all over my face so I apologize beforehand for not being able to see my face as clearly as I would have liked but he did a great job irregardless.

I liked doing a video outside and if you would like to see more let me know what you would like to see videos of.

I hope you liked it and don't forget to subscribe to my channel HERE when you get the chance. Thanks!

Finding some modern reading on the past can be a tricky thing so today I would like to share with you four vintage magazine recommendations. They each offer something different and new but always with the love of the past in mind.

These are just four magazines but I have my eye on a few more that I can recommend in another video at another time. I hope you like it. I did my video in my bedroom this time around to change things up a bit. Still trying to figure out the best lighting and best spot to do them. Rome wasn't built in a day, right?

Are there any vintage themed magazines that you love reading? Which are you favorites from this list?

I do many reviews here on my blog on classic film, documentaries, modern films set in the past, and television shows but today I share with you some of my favorite films from my own personal stash.

These films are from the 1960's and I will do a video on my 1950's, 1940's, and 1930's dvds soon.

Have you seen any of the films from my stash? What 1960's films do you have in your classic film dvd collection? Any recommendations you have for me?

Yay! I cannot believe I am 39! Whoot! Here I go on this amazing adventure and my 39 New Experiences Before 40 challenge officially begins.

I had a such a lovely birthday weekend and I wanted to share a bit of it with you via my latest video on my YouTube channel. Everything that you see in this video I will include closer photos of in my next post tomorrow and also links to where you too can score these items. You may notice that I gifted myself presents for this birthday but on my challenge list I did say I wanted to spoil myself plus why the heck not. Gift yourself and show yourself heaps of self love. What a better way than gifting yourself vintage inspired books and movies and oodles of pretty things?

I hope you have been enjoying my YouTube videos. Eventually I will create a schedule for them but at the moment I am just having fun and learning how to do them. If you would like to see something special on one of my videos, let me know. Also feel free to subscribe and spread the vintage word on my YouTube channel! Thank you!

Tune in tomorrow for a closer look at the beautiful vintage wrapping paper I used (and plan to reuse in an art project) and most of my amazing gifts that I received for my birthday. Thank you again to all those who spoiled me and sent me birthday with, you truly made my day extra, extra special!
