Vintage Lifestyle Love

I'm a big fan of the vintage world. If it's anything from the early 20th century I LOVE it. This includes movies and actors as I've stated before and with this I also enjoy learning as much about them as I can and seeing pictures of them. Great sites for pictures include Dr. Macro's High Quality Movie Scans and Art.com is my favorite to order some of these beautiful images for a good price for such good quality images. Art.com also has many wonderful art work pieces by many marvelous artists from this time such as some of Norman Rockwell's who is my FAVORITE artist of all time. He really captured the american spirit.
Now for vintage wear the best place is Timeless Vixen's shop on Etsy, but for vintage inspired clothing I always shop Ruche! This clothing site is cute, easy to navigate through and i LOVE all the clothes on their and own a few pieces myself.
For cute vintage decorations, trinkets, and little do-da's I have three sources I turn to. The first is another Etsy shop, Sunshine and Ravioli who specializes in these darling cards, labels, and tags.
Second is Simply Shaby Chic (her blog and this is her website) and you can buy many of her products at Target which is easy. Many things in my room are Shaby Chic and I adore them.

And the third place is City Chic Country Mouse who also have an Etsy Shop.
To end all of this I'll give you two more little vintage blogs that are to die for: Bluebird and Vintage+Goodness=Happiness!
