Vintage girl in a modern world — where nostalgia meets sustainability.
Step into a slower way of living inspired by the 1940s, where frugal habits, thoughtful routines, and timeless fashion are lovingly re-imagined for today. I share a world shaped by the past and guided by mindful, sustainable choices.
New videos uploaded every fortnight on Sundays at 2pm (AEST). If you’re drawn to cozy nostalgia, intentional living, and finding beauty in doing things the old-fashioned way, I’d love for you to join me and together we can make a meaningful difference in our world— one small, vintage-inspired step at a time

Surprise! I am back! Today I have put together a little video about the life I lead inspired by 1940s values. In a world of overconsumption, simplicity has a place to create a beautiful life by using what you already have. Enjoy 😊

Some of you may know me as my pinup name ‘Maizie May’.
After years of sharing my love for vintage, pinup, and sustainable living, I’m stepping into a new era as Clara May.
The vintage passion remains, but this chapter is about fully embracing my creativity and sharing the beauty of a vintage-inspired lifestyle.
About sharing slow living, preserving the wisdom and elegance of a bygone era. Bringing old-world charm into a modern life and inspiring you to find the magic in living more intentionally.
Welcome to my vintage world. ✨💖

Hi all!! There will be no video this Sunday. I am taking this time as a mini break to rejuvenate my creativity. I am filling up my cup by spending time with friends and lots of dancing. Pictured is me competing for best dressed with a wooden duck I saw at a garden nursery. Who wore it better? 😅🤪
