Happy New Years my vintage friends! I can’t believe that 2013 is coming to an end already as it feels like it has just started. I had such a glorious year filled with traveling, blogging and meeting some totally amazing friends thru my blog and thru my travels and I am truly excited to see what 2014 will bring.

NYC 1940s

My New Years plans have me in NYC and while the actual evening of New Years is up in the air regarding fun plans, tonight’s evening is uber vintage and I’m super excited! I’m off to this event called “The Salon” at the historic Players Club.  6 bands on three floors (Swing, Blues and Jazz), burlesque, tap routine, dj’s etc. etc. I have my best vintage dress ready to go and I hope I can score some pictures to share with all of you fine readers. Can’t wait!!

What are your plans for New Years?

Once again Happy New Years friends, thank you for reading my blog this year and I hope you have a super night 🙂

Vintage Photos of New York City-In all it’s Splendor

categories: travel, vintage images

On Thursday I will be heading to NYC for the weekend with my husband for a big German event called the “Steuben Parade” that we happen to be participates in. It’s going to be an amazing experience and I cannot wait and I also cannot wait to go back to one of my favorite cities in the world, NYC. I love this city so very much and every time I set foot in it, I feel like I’m at home.

So while I pack for the city that never sleeps I thought I would share some cool vintage photos I found online of NYC. Enjoy!
