The summer has gone so fast and now September is here which means that the warm days are almost gone (sad face). It’s been a wonderful summer with August ending up to be somewhat of a quiet month which has been nice. BUT it all kicks back into high gear starting this Friday. I’m off to Red Hot Blue Rockabilly Weekend right here in Ontario (Brockville), then off to a friend’s wedding outside of Quebec. We close out the fun with a mini road trip with the hubby. It’s going to be really great and I’m looking forward to it (follow the fun on Instagram).
In the mean time I have been reading some really great articles and watching some really fun videos that I would like to share with you today.
How to plan a successful underwater wedding 1954 Style by Eliza Berman
The Vintage Girls of New York by Harpers Bazaar. This article features a vintage friend Voon who has amazing style and I’m thrilled is featured in this article.
I’m a Vintage Clothing Dealer / Behind the Seams by Mode.com. This woman is amazing and I want to be her when I grow up (like seriously).
Toronto’s Top 10 Lost Vaudeville Theatres by Bygone Theatre
Watch the Birdie-Scene from Hellzapoppin’ (a movie that Lindy Hoppers go wild for because of its famous dance scene). This scene features another dance legend Dean Collins dancing with Martha Raye. Band is Gene Krupa’s Orchestra with Anita O’Day singing.
Get Ready for Snoodtember! Join along with Tanith Rowan and the vintage world (including yours truly) as we celebrate snoods and a time to wear them and love them.
While it’s not great that the world lost at MGM Musical star Gloria DeHaven at age 91, it is interesting to read what a life she lived. Thanks for the movies Gloria.
And for my last share, I want everyone to see this AWESOME GIF from the recent ‘International Lindy Hop Championships’. This is so cool!

Have a great remaining week and weekend friends! I’m going to be off for one week on this blog to enjoy my trip with the husband, but as stated above just follow me on social media and it’s like I was never gone.
Liz 🙂
Those were fun. I never get tired of the Watch the Birdie video with Martha Raye! Love Anita O’Day’s version of this song, too!
And is the ole blue-eyes Frankie with Olivia? WOW!
Have fun at your Weekender! Thanks for the tips!
It sure is Frankie…sooooo dreamy! Have fun on your weekend too!
I read that article about the vintage gals from New York. Love to see ladies who are into the vintage scene.
And those are some great pix of old theaters in Toronto.
Your post also reminded me I need to get myself a snood! Been meaning to for the longest time. I think they look fabulous whenever I see someone wearing one.
The ladies in NY are wow! Vintage style goals that is for sure 🙂
Etsy for Snoods! So many to choose from. Happy shopping 🙂
Thank you Liz for the great stuff to read and watch, and for mentioning Snoodtember!
No problem! I just need to get a snood on now 🙂
I’m enjoying Snoodtembrr very much! The article on the New York vintage scene was interesting. Hope you are having a fun break.
I had a wonderful break! So fun and relaxing 🙂 I have yet to get on board with Snootember because I have no real chance. THIS weekend…I will be!
