Friday's vintage finds

Happy Friday, vintage lovers! What an exhausting week it has been. I'm pretty sure the Mod Weekend, Victorious festival and then a leaving do on the Monday has fully worn me down. So it has been a lazy week this week for me, with the occasional appearance at work. Which means bed, films, bed, films and endless cups of tea. This week, me and George watched the films 'Memento' and 'The Prestige' (yes, we were in a mind blowing kinda mood this week) and both films, although before now I had never heard off, are A-MAZ-ING. Such a good way to get your little mind working over time, to make up for the rest of your body not bothering. 

With my little Friday feature weekly, I'd love you to send me your vintage finds this week and i'll pop them on here! Whether it's a cute photograph or a good film you have watched. It'll be so interesting to share your finds with fellow lovers of anything retro.


Send them to youhadmeatvintage@outlook.com if you have anything to share!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Photographs of the week:

New York in 1933

I will never get bored of looking at timeless photos of New York, there is something special about the city that fascinates me. "So good, they named it twice."

Cutesy romantic photos are everywhere on Pinterest so I can't help but show them to you when I see some lovely ones!

Songs of the week: 
"Then he kissed me" The Crystals
Such a great song, so retro!

"Master Blaster (Jammin')" Stevie Wonder

Can't go wrong with a bit of Stevie!

Films of the week: 


Alfie (1966)
A romantic comedy starring Michael Caine and directed by Lewis Gilbert. Alfie is about a young womaniser who leads a selfish life and treats women with no respect by cheating and lying to numerous women. The plot takes us on a journey throughout Alfie's life, where he later begins to realize his actions when events force him to see his selfish behavior through another's eye. I felt the film was a great watch, and it has a lot of different meanings if you read between the lines as it raises awareness of the major issues throughout the 60's such as gender, sex, abortion and freedom. 

Vintage news of the week:
Rest in Peace Richard Attenborough
29 August 1923 - 24 August 2014



A great loss! Richard Attenborough was an English actor, film producer and entrepreneur. Best known for his roles in Jurrasic Park, Miracle on 34th street and The Great Escape. One of Britain's best known screen celebrities has died this week on 24th August due to a stroke. Rest in peace.


See you next Friday for more Vintage loveliness!
