Voxsartoria
One of my favourite Tumblr sites is Voxsartoria, which in some broken Latin-Italian dialect means ‘The Voice of Style'.
It was voted one of 30 Tumblrs to follow in 2013 by TIme magazine so I am not alone.
Most days the site posts "never-before-seen images of actors from the ’50s and ’60s, directors, artists, and famous politicians in their turn-of-the century youth, curating a sense of style and elegance from past icons".
Here are a few of my many favourites.
