Yesteryear beginnings

Hello. I created this blog to celebrate the simple, elegant, & classic aspects of life, inspired by the bygone eras. A way of living that will never go "out of style" despite our changing world. 

To me, the yesteryear girl is someone who finds beauty in the old and forgotten, is mindful of small quotidian pleasures, and embraces tradition by tapping in to her creativity and femininity. Cultivating this way of life is one of my true passions.

Growing up with older than average parents, classic movies, retro television, and flea market excursions were staples of my childhood. Since then, I have been fascinated by vintage and felt drawn to old things and historical places. As an only child, I poured over vintage books and sat transfixed by old black and white movies, creating fanciful reveries of myself as an elegant lady of another time and place.

My favorite decades are the 1940s and 50s, everything from beauty to fashion to interiors. Creatively, writing, cooking, and sewing are my favorite pastimes.

I have always wanted my own little place to write about all the things I love. This blog will focus on vintage lifestyle & fashion, classic films, glamour and femininity, etiquette, homemaking, interiors, and thrifting my way to my dream vintage life.
