Feeling Vintage at the Oscars

It's that time of year again, the night we celebrate the talent of old and new actors that entertain us along with reducing us to laughter and tears on a daily basis. The most glamorous night of the year with the awaited 'best dressed at the Oscars' chat. Some of the most amazing dresses are worn at the Oscars that you find yourself drooling over them whilst watching. Here are a few photographs I have stumbled upon taken 50+ years ago.

Swinging london - then and now

London. The birthplace of the Swinging 60's. The capital defined the movement, the spirit and the energy of the decade like no other! So what happened? Years have passed and it is no longer the free spirited, magical place that was full of opportunity we can only imagine about. I wonder if you can spot the difference between these comparisons?
