Lulu's Vintage Blog

I created Lulu's Vintage Blog in January 2006 for me to be your vintage shopping selector, picking what I felt to be the best of the web to share with my readers. Along the way I have learned a lot of things and I hope you have too!

Thousands of blog posts including Manly Mondays and Fashion Fridays, and numerous style interviews later I decided it was time for a refresh.

I've republished what I consider to be the crème de la crème from my backlog of posts for my readers to enjoy and I am excited for the future and new look of Lulu's Vintage Blog!

"Arts & Crafts" by Judith Miller. We are moving back to Portland soon but currently we are still residing in our lovely 1911 Craftsman home in Spokane with wrap around porch, period light fixtures, and built-ins. All the gorgeous arts and crafts items in this book would be a perfect fit for our house! I really like these guides by Judith Miller they feature large quality photos and values of the items pictured as well as history of different artists and manufacturers. #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #artsandcraftsmovement #bookstagram #bookreview

"Nature in Design" by Alan Powers. This book covers natures influence on architecture, interior design, fashion design, industrial design and art. #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #designbook #bookreview #bookstagram #powellsbooks

"All Color Book of Art Nouveau" by Geoffrey Warren. This book from 1972 heralds itself as featuring all color photographs and illustrations. In today's media world saturated with color it is hard to believe or remember that a book or a magazine full of colored photographs is a fairly recent development. This book features Art Nouveau Architecture, Furniture, Jewelry, Painting and Sculpture as well as many other types of Art Nouveau items. #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #artnouveau #designbook #artbook #bookstagram #bookreview

"Making Waves: Swimsuits and the Undressing of America" by Lena Lencek and Gideon Basker. This book from 1989 details the swimsuit from the turn of the century through the 1980s. A fun book for lovers of vintage swimwear! #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #vintageswimwear #vintagefashion #chroniclebooks #powellsbooks #bookstagram #bookreview

"Pinball" by Roger C. Sharpe, photographs by James Hamilton. This 1977 book features black and white, and color photos. Pinball! outlines the history of the game, and in the back of the book there is a glossary of pinball terms, as well as a list of companies and the names and years of pinball machines that they released. #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #pinball #pinballmachines #vintagepinball #bookreview #bookstagram

"Film: An International History of the Medium" by Robert Sklar. This was a textbook that I got in college for a class that I was taking about Film. The class was in the evening and I always looked forward to heading over to watch a movie and learn of the history of film. This book from 1993 covers from the "Emergence of Cinema" through to "The Expansion of Cinema". #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #film #vintagehollywood #vintagemovies #bookstagram #bookreview

"Obsessions: Collectors and Their Passions" by Stephen Calloway. This book is divided into chapters such as "Curiosities and Eccentricities" which features collections of model buildings, Japanese toys, and 1950s Americana; and amongst others a chapter called "Avant-garde and Chic" which features Modern art, African art, and concrete poetry. Text about the collectors and their collections accompanies the photographs of the collections. #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #collecting #bookreview #bookstagram #vintagecollection #artcollector

"Books: A Living History" by Martyn Lyons. This history of books covers from cuneiform tablets through e-books. There are historical as well as modern images illustrating the history of books. On a personal note my husband built us a Little Free Library that we put in our yard around Christmas time last year. I have enjoyed tending our library making sure that things are organized and looking good. Recently the library has been taken over by Yellow Jackets 🐝 so I have had to put the Book Jackets and the books that they contain away for the time being with the hope that the yellow jackets go away. #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #book #bookonbooks #bookstagram #bookreview

"Fabulous Fashions 1907-67. This book features clothing and accessories from 1907-1967 from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York that traveled as an exhibition to Australia.

I am half way through my year of an "Aesthetically Pleasing Book Review A Day"! Here's a photo of all the books I reviewed in June. #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #artbook #designbook #fashionbook #stylebook #bookreview #bookstagram

"Heritage: An Illustrated History of Western Culture" by Allison Travis Brown. I usually just take a photo of the cover of the book but in the case of this book from 1956 there was no hint of what lay within by looking at the cover so I took a photo of the illustrations inside of the book to share with you. Heritage starts with The Ancient Cultures 4000 BC - 476 AD to The Twentieth Century 1900-2000. This book was both written and illustrated by a woman named Allison Travis Brown which I think is pretty cool for the mid-century. #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #designbook #artbook #midcenturymodern #bookstagram #bookreview

"Mackintosh's Masterwork The Glasgow School of Art". The Glasgow School of Art looks like such a beautiful inspirational place! Every detail was so well designed. Unfortunately over the past couple of years the school has suffered from damage from fires. This book features sketches, paintings, and photographs of the school as well as in depth history of the school. #lulualamode #aestheticallypleasingbookoftheday #glasgowschoolofart #charlesrenniemackintosh #artbook #architecturebook #bookstagram #bookreview

"Vogue Book of Fashion Photography 1919-1979" by Polly Devlin.
