Mod Cloth

Modcloth is an awesome new Web site/blog that I recently found. I love the forties, fifties and anything to do with what is often called the Golden Age of America (or at least that's what I've heard it called). The website offers clothes that remind one of a simpler time, before Twitter and the World Wide Web, before blackberries and iPhones, before the world was "on" 24/7. It is a time, that especially as of late, I long to return to, a time when things seem to have been a lot easier and calmer.

I am personally buying a bathing suit that looks like it belongs in Long Beach Island circa 1957, quite similar to a picture I have of my grandparents during their "dating days." Oh how I wish I could have been 20-something in New York City then, it seemed like it was a real party, but who knows maybe New York still is the party and I have simply yet to find it as I've been locked away in Connecticut these past few years, I'm hoping I'm right!
