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.

  1. 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!

    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

    1. 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
