I'm Obsessed With My 1950's Life | HOOKED ON THE LOOK

A VINTAGE-LOVER has spent $50,000 transforming her 'fixer-upper' home into a 1950s timewarp. From an early age, Rochelle, 26, from Phoenix, Arizona, has been interested in all things retro. Some of her happiest childhood memories are of trawling the aisles of antique stores with her mother. And as an adult, her love of the past continued to grow. In 2018, she and her husband Matt bought their first home together. The property had been built in 1957, but remodelled in the 1970s. Rochelle then spent the next 18 months - and $50,000 - restoring it to its original glory. Now, every appliance and piece of furniture in her home is vintage - as is her entire wardrobe. She concluded: "I would say I'm obsessed with vintage. It might be a little crazy, but it's fun."

Anyone who thinks you are racist just because you love vintage stuff just doesn’t get it. I’m obsessed with the 1950’s as well and I’m a black man but I’m not blind to what was going on back then and I don’t agree with what was going on back then either it’s about the style and fashion not their values. I want to be friends with this girl.

[madenita]

My heart is so warm when she says she doesn't believe in vintage's political value... That's what we call not a blind obsession

[vmw]

I was born in the early 50s and it's a lot to be said about the quality of material goods. You look like you are having fun and have a livelier life than the majority of us. I would never have thought you are doing this because you support every single thing that happened in the 50s.

[MegaSlimgoody]

I don't understand how living in a 50's home, makes you a racist. You can live in any home and be a racist. People are haters

[UnicornFairy]

"I have enough confidence in myself with what I'm doing that no one can tear me down." I love that so much

[astraldeer]

"Vintage style, not vintage values." Short, sweet, and to the point.I love it so much.

[zingyzanger]

That was cool, she's truly unique. I hope she makes a YouTube channel, her life would be interesting to watch!

[thewwgirl]

Just because you love a certain time in history, doesn't mean you agree with the politics of that time. There is nothing wrong with dressing vintage, or having a vintage style house, if I could dress vintage then I would.

[wickedside]

People always trying to find an angle to tear someone down. Who cares what she likes and why. It’s awesome and so is she

[juratory]

She is honestly so adorable! I really like how she dresses how she wants to and doesn't care what people think.

And I think we can all agree on the statement "Vintage fashion, not vintage values".

[squeakybeak]

That makes me so sad that people would say, "Oh, you love the 50s, you're probably racist." People jump to extreme conclusions so much lately! Can't a girl just love the aesthetics of an era?

[Dwainecurtis]

She’s look gorgeous with that 50s vintage fashion

[bezm]

Im absolutely jealous on how she has all those autographs! She looks amazing

[SecelyNoemiTorres]

I am 32 years old deaf and Puerto Rican - American woman and I love vintage styles. I have always wanted a vintage lifestyle. I would watch Grease just to learn about what outfit goes with what shoes and how to do hairstyles. I'm also trying to see how I can do it with my short natural curly hair. So seeing this video made me smile knowing I'm not the only one who loves vintage fashion.

[roccosophie]

This is the main thing wrong with what is happening in our culture right now. Appreciation and love for an art form does NOT, mean we are part of anything outside of, appreciation and love for an art form. And no matter what else it might have been at the time, it's still, an art form to be appreciated, loved, and even adored. God bless you and your husband, young woman.

[whispermcgaughy]

I like the innovation of the 50's..I love watching old archive films of houses and gadgets to make life easier..

[Ash-gmws]

How lovely keep the garbage of the modern era outside and the slowed down loving quiet calm inside. What a cutie

[Lolafalana]

I feel her! Kudos to her for boldly sharing her love. She might be reincarnated from living in that era🤭

[dollsNcats]

[Yeahthatshowifeel]
