Vintage Fashion Inspiration // A Journalist's Journey (REUPLOADED)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Though it's a strange summer, I still wanted to play with a little bit of adventure style again this year. Here are some vintage inspired outfits, mostly 1940's things, along with a little story line about a would be journalist working her way towards being reunited with her love abroad.
For those who are like "what?! Reno??" that's where all the glam gals in 1940's movies dashed off to for a quicker divorce back in the day.
(RE-UPLOADED due to someone copyright claiming the wobbly recording of Anything Goes from the original ending, though I doubt they were really Cole Porter, but I digress...) (Original video went live July 12, re-uploaded on Oct 6th)
Music from Epidemic Sound.

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching!
Hello all! I highly doubt Cole Porter was in need of any royalties, but I played the "just use the song" game and lost" eek! I'm sorry about the re-upload! I have simply set the other version to private so it still technically exists with all of your kind comments in the archives ❤
Rewatching because it's a good video, but also so you get my monetary view back!
I only saw this version and I watched it twice! 😁
Well - as an archivist just starting her career, this lady's career experience took me on a WHIRLWIND JOURNEY
She's all about a means to and end ha
Doesn't matter if it's a reupload still gonna watch it again for the best narrator voice and the most stunning clothing
I said it before and I'll say it again: Lesbian. Summer. Adventure. Genre. Yes.
The one dislike is from Bug boy.
Such a sweet story ♡ sapphic romance steals my heart.
I re-re-re-watched The Women this week. Random Reno reference received.
I think the adorable entomologist should be a long running character. I appreciated the end with the patrons running over the luggage! Very well designed. I love these mini movies so much!!
I love these mini fashion shows. I'm seriously envious of all the clothes that you have. My wardrobe is quite compact with all the pieces at least doing double duty and most doing at least triple duty or more, meaning it has to be upper profesionsl, business casual, church or ministering and Goth. Punk is a big bonus though. Now I'm inspired to do the Black Dahlia look.
SARTORIAL ROYALTY! Thanks for taking us on this adventure; I loved this!
I love the narratives of all your lookbooks. I rewatch them while cutting out fabric and sewing.
I am sorry the music got copyrighted, but on the plus side I rewatched the best look book on UA-cam!
That airflight outfits are phenomenal.
Your narrating is the best! It's like watching a graphic novel in moving pictures, I can see the happenings in my mind while you tell us the story. The way you put some major thought into these outfits is astounding! Love it to bits!
Thank you! ❤
Oooooooooh that dark brown dress with the wisteria print 😉 absolutely beautiful .... stunning 🧵 the cut of that dress is sooooo flattering on you.
Great video. All of the clothes were gorgeous.
Thank you Craig!
I nearly spit my tea out on hearing the line, lunch with an entomologist. I have a long torso and short legs. I think this style of clothing may look good on me because of the waist being so high. Thanks for your video.
Wonderful little movie as usual. A beautiful collection of clothing. I love a smart cut suit but then when I see them I am reminded I also enjoy the pencil skirt and trouser outfits. I’ve expanded my beret colour range too this Autumn and its fun! 💕
Thank you! ❤
How delightful! My great Aunt Pat finagled her way over to London and bought a car, and signed up for the Ambulance Brigade in probably as much style during this time. You even look like her, as she was a black haired beauty too.
Thank you Susan! She sounds far braver and cooler than I am 😅
That jaunty skirt with beige jacket is very Joan Crawford liked watching this video again no matter what problem caused the reupload
This was marvelous. I watched it 3 times. Like my favorite movies. Great work. Beautiful clothes. I love your narrator's voice. ♡W
Thank you Wendy!
Uploaded you say? I refuse to watch it more than a one hundred times! Love the commentary! You have a gift for weaving a fun tongue-twisting tale!
Thank you Janet!
This has taken quite a bit of time AND TALENT! I’m quite impressed and envious of the wardrobe! 😊
Thank you Dawn!
Delightful!! These films are the BEST! Thank you as always, I cant even begin to pick a winner out of all your beautiful outfits xx
Thank you Rowan!
Wonderful and whimsical as always Bianca. Thank you!
Thank you Nikoline!
Most excellent journalist's look book!
Thank you Guinevere!
Thank you for always sharing your lovely creations and creativity! You've inspired me to take sewing lessons so I can learn how to make my own 1940s/1950s style clothing!
I love your look book/short films and especially your narration. Your voice is so perfect, and your words are put together with wit and style!
Thank you!
I think the twirl at 4:52ish was my favorite part of watching this once again! ✨
I love the burgundy pencil skirt and the archaeologist outfit. ❤️❤️❤️👌👌All gorgeous really. I love the voice over too- made me chuckle 🤣🤣 🕶️ 💼✈️🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🏺
Have to agree- those were my favorites too.
Great show loved everything, especially the wardrobe.
Thank you Kari!
Loved this! I didn't catch it the first time, but I'm glad I saw this the second time around.
Thank you Gabby!
This was fabulous. I'm watching it a second and maybe third time too
Thank you Laurie!
I watched it until the end. Again. You are the BEST Bianca
Boo for copyright claim, but yay for getting to hit the like button and comment again on this wonderful video! Truly love this one for the story telling!
Yes! I just watched it AGAIN! So VERY well done!
Thank you Mary!
The storyline! The fashion! I'm sorry about the re-upload, but it's a treat to see this again!
Another wonderful travelogue for us...Thanks!
I thought I had already watched this but I loved watching again. Great work and worthy of a rewatcht. 3 or 4 or5 times
I have waited quite a while to see penny loafers being worn. Mine are always at the ready when needed.

I love these so much.

Another amazing, creative, and completely consuming vid. I never get enough!! Particularly during a time when we all need a little magic in our lives ❤️ thank you so much for making these!!
Thank you!
I’m completely in love with the pleated brown skirt 🥰
This lil gal could look good in anything. But what she does wear is just smashing! Ten out of ten!
Thank you Eve!
Love everything especially the shoes for the job at the museum. You look stunning as always. Thank you for another fantastic style video. Keep safe and well ❤️Lynne.
Thank you Lynne!
This really made me smile!
Thank you!
Delightful 🌸
Never mind the re-upload, I love the care you put in these, triple watch isn't too much! :)
I liked the red dress and all of the accessories..fun hats and cool sunglasses...very nice.
Thank you Cheryl!
Excellent !🙂
Awesome! You’ve made archaeology far more glamorous than it actually is. Maybe I need me a lovely frock at the next TAG conference, should we ever get to meet again in n person
You just have to accessorize haha, I have a rotating cast of funky sunglasses to pair with my hardhat and safety vest to keep my "looks" fresher than I smell.
afreaknamedallie high fashion PPE for girls 😅
This was so satisfying to watch and listen to, id love to see more!
You go get-um girl! (hmmmm. still thinking about stealing your clothes.) I really need more brown in my wardrobe. Stay well!
I really loved the editing in this one!!! Your fashion lookbooks always brighten my day 💖
Thank you Ari!
Love this! ♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful 😻
Thank you Lisa!
Just at the start and love love love it! June’s Journey (game) is celebrating 3 years and has done something similar. They could have used your help. It was music a certain something. 💜💜💜💜🇦🇺💜💜💜💜
Thank you! I actually got offered work with/promote the game, but as I have never played a mobile game in my life I felt it would be rather disingenuous for me to advertise for one ha 😅
I like some of your style in your video.
Gorgeous. As always. And so smart.
Thank you Kaytie!
Hi Bianca!! Wonderful vlog..
Reupload or not, I’d watch it over & over again..
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Thank you Deana!
I love these "reels"!!!!
Love it the 2nd time around!🥰
Adorable!
Thank you!
Ah yes.. music copyright.. a tricky thing! 😅 I also had one warning already.. I thought i would be safe because the record was about 100 years old. But somehow i was wrong. 🤔 Because i don't earn money with yt (yet? 🙂) it wasn't doing any harm..
enjoyed revisiting this :)
Your clothes fit you so beautifully.
Thank you!
So fun I loved it
Thank you!
Well worth the rematch 🙂
love how this character is always a lesbian, living for it in fact
❤️❤️❤️
💫
Ooh I loved this the first time and I still doooo
The narrator!!
Can you please do a drafting/sewing video on your short sleeved jacket????
Indeed I have already made one which can be found here ua-cam.com/video/vtzz3lQyByY/v-deo.html 🖤
love these items! do the pants have a side zip and fastener? it was very hard to tell but obvious that there wasn't a front one.
Yes the trousers do indeed have a side zip, I made them in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/DjzRY5OXl0k/v-deo.html
Gayyyyy. And I love it!
This is what happens when I just click the video without reading the title and am and like wait have I seen this before... Maybe.. Hmm.. (finally reads title)... Yep... Watches full video anyways. Comment or Re-comment for More Internet points!!!
Thank you!
Do you also make the hats?
Sometimes! Most of my hats are vintage though, as it can be very difficult to source high quality or vintage straw braid and capelines, so buying vintage straw hats is actually far easier than making them :)
