About Me

Hello fellow time travellers! Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you rest a while before continuing on your way.

My name is Rowena and I live in the historic city of Lincoln in England with my boyfriend and fellow time traveller, Indi. By trade I work for Adult Social Care and have done since I was 19. About four years ago I began to be interested in the fashion of the mid-twentieth century thanks to the beautiful Lola Lamour. I watched a documentary called Time Warp Wives in which she starred and I remember it was a total revelation. I was hooked and watched the 30 minute show repeatedly, still do from time to time! I have always loved different eras from the 60's in my childhood to the 80's in my teens but as I grew older I felt I should dress "normal" in an effort to be more adult. I never really felt like I was being myself and wished there would be a style where I could be individual and yet still feel others would take me seriously. I feel that finding vintage has helped me to express my personality through my outward appearance and achieve that balance.

My style tends to vary between actual vintage and a rockabilly twist and Indi and I spend our weekends in the summer attending events for the 1940's and also some rockabilly shin digs too. I'm not too bothered about being 100% accurate and prefer to wear what I feel happiest in so I try not to limit myself to just one decade. We both love the aesthetics of the 1920's to the 1950's. Most days I wear either vintage, vintage-style / rockabilly and the dream is to have a full vintage wardrobe one day; I'm working on it!

I hope you enjoy visiting my blog and reading all the things we have been up to. If you feel like dropping me a line I would enjoy that ever so much and I always welcome feedback of any kind. If you wish to email me you can do so here.

    I also watched and loved that documentary. I was already in vintage style, but It made my passion even more intense. I am looking forward to see your next posts! I will read them delightfully! I'll try to comment as much as I can as well. English isn't my spoken language, and I am always afraid to make too much mistakes and not to be understood. Kind regards from France!

      Hello from England!
      Wow it's so wonderful that my blog has already reached out across the channel. I'm really pleased you like the posts I have done so far. If you ever have any comments or suggestions just send them over and you speak English well, it far surpasses my French!

    Hello from St Helens North West UK!
    I'm so glad I've stumbled cross your blog. I have adored the vintage style for many years but recently the love has turned into an obsession of sorts, though I've only just started to wear the style now. I loved that documentary about Time Warp Wives & i had no idea that you could find dear Lola online! I'm overjoyed. I think she's wonderful. I look forward to your posts x

      Hello V! Thank you for your lovely comment. I agree, it does become a bit of an obsession. Lola has, and continues to be, a great inspiration to me in many ways. She's really lovely and kind and I'm happy that I have been able to meet her a couple of times.
      I have some posts lined up on events and different aspects of vintage style. I hope you like them.
      Take care
      Rowena x
