This is the America in my head.
This is the America I want to visit.
Sadly last time I was in America it was not so much like this, dont get me wrong, it was lots of fun .. but theres something about the 50’s 60’s that just sucks me right in !
Cars filled with friends like this
Filling up at a place like this and with a car like that
Not blogging on my Laptop/PC/BB
But typing my thoughts on this
Dancing like this
Capturing my summer fun on one of these
A Part time job like the girls above, serving drinks in the sunshine to people in pretty cars!
Pretty girls like these – real not fake.
Watching this TV
Getting giddy over 3d glasses !
Drinking pepsi cola… Out of a glass bottle and not a plastic bottle !
Drinking a milkshake like this with my boy…
These photos were all taken from Bills Retro World which can be found here – A fantastic website !
Oh by the way, you can now find me on Tumblr: prettygreentea.tumblr.com
I am also on BlogLovin: http://prettygreentea.blogspot.com/

the epitomy of fifties style and trends , i’d say, would be the movie grease ♥
love it !
not to mention milkshakes are one of my most favourite things :]
The last image reminds me of Grease lol.

We Were Damsels
I would love to go to the 70s rock conserts and shops wow that would be so cool and London in the 60s oh I would shop all my money away at Biba!

You are more likely to see this America in Argentina, believe it our not. Parts of that country look like they are still in the ’50s. Its incredible actually.
I love road trips. I have not been on one for awhile. Is it just me or does pop/ soda taste better in a glass bottle?
love the effect of your post. bring me back to the era that ive never been before.
This post makes me feel nostalgic! (no, I’m not that old).
I wnat that camera.
Lucy =)
I wish I lived in 50s.
You can still find this here in the US…you just have to know where to look!
Hop over the sea and I’ll take you to a diner in our little red convertible. We’ll listen to Elvis and the Beatles on the juke box! 🙂
you have just described my perfect world!!!!!!!!
maybe it’s like that in memphis??
I’d love a typewriter, they look so ermmmmm . . . . murder she wrotey!
I’ve added you to my faves.

i LOVE the 50’s-60’s era. everything about it.
i love it,everything about it is so cool .
i think i like more the 50s and 70s , they had such a cool clothes.
ah yes, the simple times.
This post made me smile so much. I’m a sucker for the olden days too. I like that things actually required effort back then, everything was more hands on. xx

The American dream!

Oh the 1930s!! Seems to be marvellous. Can’t we just go back to those days?

Certainly a lot more magical than the modern day America! I wonder if in 50 years time, the bloggers of the future will be looking back at America in 209 and saying it looked magical… haha 🙂
This is such a perfect post! I want my summer to be exactly like this.
This post is awesome! I love going to Johnny Rockets when I’m in America..makes me feel like I’m in Grease! lol.

and welcome to the BB family :p

Most big cities have a regenerated core and some have rather desolate inner city slums so not really 50s and 60s.Small town America is slightly different and Hibbing MN where I spent a week last summer hasn’t appeared to change all that much in either attitude or look since 1950s and 1960s.
Lovely post such gorgeous photos! 7hearts;
oh, it’s nice to see someone who is as crazy about the 50’s as me! love your blog!please check out mine

i love these old photographs…
very wonderful and nostalgic pics!
nice pics…. makes me want to redocorate all over again!!
I love coke/pepsi from glass bottles to- it reminds me of being in Zimbabwe before all the problems there. Isn’t it weird how something so small can bring back such memories?

Amazing photos. I love everything about the fifties.
Fantastic Daisy, LOVE this post xx
