Retro Blogs We Love

We love all things retro at DotComGiftShop, so it's no surprise that we're big fans of blogs that celebrate the style of bygone eras.

Here are some of our favourite retro blogs, which we think you'll really enjoy.

I Love Retro Things

I Love Retro Things is one New Zealanders blog about all the retro and vintage things she comes across in her day to day life.

Amy Forbes just loves retro stuff, so whether it's a brown dress from the 70s or an Australian book on furnishing and decorating from 1965, she's immediately hooked.

The blog has lots of images of funky and retro stuff as well as explanations as to where Amy found it all and the stories that go with them.

I Love Retro Things is a very simple blog in a lot of ways, with a very simple design, but the personal touch that Amy adds to each of her posts makes it addictive reading.

My Year 1955

My Year 1955 is a blog that charts a quite remarkable experiment that one woman is currently undertaking.

You see, the author of the blog, who goes by the alias of 50sGal, is living her life as if it were 1955, attempting to stick to as many vintage things as she can.

Aside from only wearing clothes from 1955, she is only reading magazines and books from up to that year and watching movies and TV in the same manner.

In fact, the only modern luxury she affords herself is the use of her computer to update this amazing blog.

So if you want to keep up with how 50sGal is getting on and sample some of the amazing retro style of the 50s, then My Year 1955 comes very highly recommended.
