Nostalgic for Vintage.
Comments(2) In fashion circles shopping at vintage stores has been on trend for awhile now. And, as noted, Prada and Louis Vuitton did an actual return to a MadMen style garmento for FW 2010. Fortunately, for a lot of us, the quest for vintage is showing up even in music and on websites. It’s a movement that brings warmth to the heart because it conjurs up a past that is innocent in a present that is anything but. So, it’s reassuring, and the times, they call for a little reassurance don’t you think?
Here are two of my personal faves:
For many on Twitter we’ve had the honor of getting to know this indie rocker and his talents personally, over time, over Twitter. He shares moments in his life, with his son, and his music, which speaks for itself. You too can find him on twitter @chrisblake or hear more of his music at chrisblakemusic.
The London Tea Room brings authentic Brit into the heart of St. Louis. You can even order their special tea leaves straight from the website, or if you want the whole deal visit the shop, it’ll take you a step back in time, too. I heart the London TeaRoom.
So, it’s a nice combo, been a rough day. I think I’ll just sip a little tea and listen to “Lullaby” by Chris Blake. That should pretty much take care of whatever ails me ;)
Enjoy!
Kim, thanks for posting the Chris Blake video. It made me cry just now and I sent it to my sister. You’ve really separated the wheat from the chaff with your Twitter use, thanks for being the ambassadress for those of us not on the feed!
Thanks you Miss Gretchen. It’s so very good to hear from. And, I’m so glad you see what I saw in his music too and that you’re sharing it with someone you care about. Seems it’s what life is about these days.
