Hello and welcome to Vintage Feels and Automobiles!

About the blog
I decided to start this blog to combine two of my favourite things: cars and 50s fashion!
Hopefully along the way it will include everything from car shows to dress reviews!
I have begun the venture to make my own clothes and I’m hoping to bring you all on the journey!



About me
Mini nut – Avid tea drinker – fountain pen hoarder – cookie eater – Sewist

I’m currently taking the jump into embracing more of my pin-up style and putting myself out there more! I’m 29 years old and from Hampshire; fulled by tea (and a mild classic mini obsession), I decided to put fingers to keyboard and start this blog in order to potentially spread some useful ideas about topics such as makeup to minis!
I’ve adored vintage fashion for years and incorporate it into my everyday style. I love playing about with different outfits and makeup…even if it doesn’t always go too well…
I’m a UK size 18-20 and always try to dress for my body, mostly sticking to swing dresses but occasionally venturing towards wiggle dresses.

Fred
My major passion is my classic mini named Fred; he’s my absolute baby! I’ve owned Fred for 13 years now and over 15,000 miles of mini fun! He’s a 1989 mini racing flame and participates in everything from local shows to mini runs, all the way to sporting bears events (dream rides for charity). He retires for the winter months and lets his brother Ezio the Alfa Romeo take over.

Val

Val is Fred’s less than behaved sister. She is a 1969 Morris mini van that loves the track!
