Southern Retro

Occupation: Broadcaster and voice over artist

“My love of vintage stems from my training as an actress and my involvement in living history. I’ve dabbled in various eras but settled on the 1930s as not only do I feel the clothing style suits me best, but I am also fascinated by the history and culture during the inter war years (give me an MGM movie, a cocktail, a foxtrot and some jazz and I’m a happy lady!). 

I love to know the background of each item I own, to know someone saved their pennies to make or buy that certain something, and that it’s survived through so much action over the years, I think, is pretty special.”
