IN THIS ISSUE
ONE vintage fashion magazine, ONE month at a time.
Welcome to IN THIS ISSUE…
Each month, I’m flipping through ONE vintage fashion magazine cover-to cover to uncover timeless style, forgotten gems, and iconic looks that still inspire today. From editorial deep dives to curated shopping guides, I’m bringing you modern ways to wear iconic looks from past pages, decades and eras, one issue at a time.
Think of this as your monthly fashion and style time capsule. But instead of just admiring the past, I’ll translate it into now, creating timeless inspiration from retro fashion editorials to real-time finds and shoppable guides that make vintage feel modern, wearable, and endlessly cool.
This is your portal to fashion history, made shoppable ~ now.
Fashion history - One month at a time
Timeless Style Inspiration — Get outfit ideas that outlast trends.
Curated Shopping Guides — Find modern pieces that echo vintage classics.
Fashion History in Real Time — Explore a different issue every month.
Nostalgia Meets Now — Whether you're a vintage lover or minimalist dresser, discover how old becomes new again.
Editor’s Eye on Every Page — Thoughtfully chosen features, layouts, and looks (with shopping links) so you don’t have to scroll endlessly.
Exploring a different issue every month
Each month will be a surprise! I’ll choose and pull a random magazine from the shelves of my personal collection of vintage fashion magazines ranging from the 1940s through 2016 and begin the month with a post about the particular issue I’ve chosen. This post will remain in the center of the home page for the entire month so you know immediately what magazine we’re exploring, with multiple posts (a mix of free and subscriber only options) published throughout the month - and then next month, I’ll surprise you again, with a new (old) fashion magazine from my collection to dive into uncovering trends, details, and design moments that still matter today.
Whether it’s a forgotten ‘60s glam editorial or a bold ‘80s beauty trend, a ‘70s trend that has become timeless or a forgotten but loved trend from the early ‘00s that feels nostalgic now, each issue holds gems worth revisiting.
From cover to classifieds, I’ll dig into the archives to show you what to wear, how to wear it now, with easy shoppable links and remind you how history always repeats itself… in the best way possible.
If you love flipping pages, collecting stories, or finding that one perfect piece no one else has yet, this is the place for you.
