Honoured to be named one of Vintage Living's must-read vintage blogs

With the tagline "Bygone fashion in a modern era", it's easy to see why I've fallen head-over-heels for a budding online vintage and retro lifestyle magazine called, aptly, Vintage Living. This in-the-works magazine is slatted to launch its first edition this coming fall, and I'm thoroughly excited for that to happen. In the meantime though (and certainly once the magazine is underway), Vintage Living has launched a thoroughly enjoyable companion blog, which went live last month.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Vintage Living, and have since had the pleasure of getting to know one of the driving forces behind this new online publication through email. As one might imagine, we both share a lifelong love of, and vested interest in, all things vintage, and it's awesome to get to watch the direction in which this magazine and its website are heading.

Recently Vintage Living featured a post on their blog called Must-Read Vintage Blogs | Meet the Bloggers, a roundup of some of their favourite vintage fashion bloggers. We're talking big, household (amongst vintage lovers) names here, folks, so it was with no small amount of delight that I just about jumped out of my seat when I found out that Chronically Vintage was to be included amongst this small list of beloved bloggers.

To quote the post itself, "VL may be new to the blogsphere, but we’re no stranger to the world of blogging. We sorted through thousands of vintage blogs, taking a look which were the most popular with readers and garnered the most respect from other bloggers (based on praise heaped upon them and incoming links). Then we visited the blogs for a test drive.

When all was said done, we compiled a list of the most fun, interesting, useful and influential vintage blogs out there and then asked the bloggers behind them to reveal what drew them to the vintage lifestyle and blogging, in their own words."

Must Read Vintage Bloggers. What a marvelous honour it is to be a part of this illustrious group of fellow vintage blogging gals.}

 

Shortlisted down to a selection of eight names, each of which is featured with a photograph of, and quotes from (or info on), that person, this post does a superb job of highlighting some of the cream of the crop of the vintage blogging world, and I truly can't begin to thank Vintage Living enough for including me as part of it.

To read the whole post and learn more about Vintage Living, be sure to check out their frequently updated blog. I have a great feeling about this new force in the vintage lifestyle world and suspect we'll be hearing a lot more about Vintage Living in the weeks and months to come.

  7. Well done Jessica. To be listed as a 'must read vintage blog' is indeed an honour. Everywhere one looks on the Internet today blogs abound as I'm sure you are aware. Unfortunately blogs are a mystery to me and will forever remain so. That's okay with me because I follow clever bloggers like you who bring different and interesting dimensions to my daily life.

  17. So tired of this jeans-only society that women live in now. Fashion today does not really appreciate women enough--it really devalues them. Thank you for celebrating the beautiful-- in so many senses of the word--female fashions of the glorious past!
