Hi, I’m Nora - the person behind NoraFinds. I am a vintage blogger and scientist in London. I am a Chinese-Indonesian Australian and am proud of my multicultural and diverse background. I am also a vintage fashion contributor on BBC Bargain Hunt and a research scientist in King’s College London. Since 2011 I have been documenting my fashion journey, from the mistakes in my 20s to my maturing style in my 30s. My love of vintage fashion stems from my passion in history. I recognise that vintage fashion is a part of history that tells the story of different characters, from the normal working-class people to the more upper class. I have been featured on The Guardian, BBC Bargain Hunt, and other publications. Also, check out my other blog Vintage Pillbox that combines history, science, and bad-ass women.Tumblr (3.0; @norafinds)https://www.norafinds.com/We visited the National Motor Museum at Beaulie a few weeks ago.
