Last night I was flicking through the channels and saw a programme on 'More 4', which I thought looked really interesting. It was called 'Time Warp Wives'. The programme was about 4 women mainly who lived their lives as if they were back in the past. Most of the people had modern jobs, but liked to dress vintage and decorate their homes in vintage styles. However, there was one woman who actually lived her life as if she was in the 1950s. Her and her husband looked the part definitely and she even had a job as a 1950s style singer as well as her full time job as being a housewife. 
My favourite person was a girl called Sammi (picture above). She dressed as though she was from the 1940s. Her makeup, hair and clothes were immaculate! They really were. She had a modern job but dreamed of becoming a housewife in the future. She wanted the world to have the same values as the 1940s did. I think this is really very true. Today's world is very different from the world that came from the past.

My friends and I were saying just the other day that in the '2000s' there is not a specific fashion like there were in the '1900s'. So it will be interesting to see how people will dress in the future to represent this time :)
I honestly can't wait until Monday when 'Land girls' starts! I really hope it is as good as it sounds and looks. I will post about it when I have watched an episode, to fill you all in. :)
Have a really wonderful Friday and weekend everyone! Enjoy the last of this years summer and lets get ready for autumn and winter! :)

haha that programme looks like your perfect programme ! I notice the woman has tattoos - that's not very 1940's is it? haha
What is this land girls thing? Also, you know your look-alike from friends? She's in a new programme I think that sounded really good but I only caught the end of it and I don't what it is!! Do you? It might be this land girls thing!
That show sounds like it was so cool! I love the pics, thanks for sharing!
I would love to see that show, I would love to go visit them in their houses too.

I know that when TWW first premiered some of the ladies featured felt misrepresented (quoted out of text and such, from what I read online), but I greatly enjoyed the clips I've been able to find here and there online about them and the articles I've read on this series. I commend these women and wish my lifestyle (and wallet!) permitted me to live my life with such a high degree of vintage style woven into nearly everything I did (and wore).
I wholeheartedly agree with you and your friends, style today seems like such a pick-and-mix hodgepodge of everything and anything that it's hard to image what people will think of as the defining looks of this decade in fifty or sixty years from now.
Wishing you a gorgeous weekend, sweet dear!

Those outfits are beautiful!
I always think about how back in the 80s and 90s, they probably didn't think there was a specific style, but now looking back there so clearly is. So I also wonder how fashion will change, and if someday the 2000s will seem so set in a certain way (even though they don't now). It will be so interesting! It's true, though - every decade up until about the 70s had a VERY specific look to it. I kind of wish it were still like that!
that sounds so cool i wish that was on over here the couple who lived like they were in the past thats so amazing a part of me would love to do that
