Fall in Love with the 40s in The Notebook

Check out the Sweet 50s Styles of Bye Bye Birdie

I've been reading a few WWII-era books this month, so I already kind of had the 1940s on the brain when I totally lucked out and found a vintage-inspired dress at the thrift store. This, logically, led to a tear-filled viewing of The Notebook. I'm a total sucker for vintage dresses in movies and TV shows. From The Great Gatsby to Mad Men, I've rounded up all kinds of vintage fashion inspiration as well as 4 online shops where you can find the dress of your vintage dreams. -By Kayla Moncur
