SheBear74 - Adorable! You're totally rockin' it in that photo. It's totally subtle-vintage style and it suits. Agreed, love the shoes.
MissLaurieMarie they look so good! how long is your hair that you rolled?
pineapplefruitcake I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm so much better with other...
Flicka Great progress! I'd love to know what you're cooking/eating and how you're deciding portion sizes.
For the lactose folks - hard cheeses that have aged the longest have almost no lactose in them, if it's a lactose and not a dairy intolerance. Just thought I'd throw that out there...
Pineapplefruitcake - mostly rollers, though I used a curling iron for the bangs and the very back where it's too short for my rollers. No set I'm working from, mostly because I'm terrible at remembering which way I'm supposed to roll the curl when I'm trying to follow instructions.
Katinka! The green & the bangs looks so good, and the eye brows are awesome! pineapplefruitcake - I love your dress and you looked adorable, Antje... If only I had any clue how you're so good at this...
I've been slacking on the sets for a log time because my hair was really short, and then...
Currently growing out a beloved pixie here!
I've been at it for about six months, mostly because my best friend got engaged, and wanted all the bridesmaids to have matching hair - seeing as I was the only one with short hair (a Jean Seberg pixie), that made the plan pretty clear.
I dress...
Oh - no, I wasn't going to split them up! That would be terrible! Rather, to put the two pieces together and keep them that way - like on a strip of fabric, nothing damaging. I love vintage, I wouldn't commit that sort of sin ;)
As for finding them good homes, I've tried to match them to pieces...
Wow, awesome timing with the thread bump...
My mom won a bag of bakelite - it was listed as various, but it turns out almost all of it is buckles.
She'd rather I see what I can turn into jewelry (she has some less than subtle hints that the red and black ones would make her a nice pin) but...
Wow, that is total bs. Guess ex-bf and ex-friend deserve each other. Blah blah, compliment she's trying to be you, etc - that isn't worth much at the moment I'm guessing. Yeah either way, better off without both of 'em.
I'm with Kiri! Let's see the cut!
Lillemor, that's almost exactly my everyday hair for the last month or so (my sides are way shorter, only about an inch now) The only length is on top and that's 4-5" with a deep side part. It's a great cut, I wanted to do away with the length on top next...
Okay, please advise?
I'm making my first ever lined piece. It's a vintage pattern swing coat.
I've got the outside finished, with the exception of the cuffs, and the instructions are *very* light when it comes to the lining. I've read the section in my 60's copy of Vogue book of...
Super interesting read. I love the 50s new look classic full skirt look, but somehow too much extra fabric always overwhelms me. I'm a mid-40s kind of girl. I've got an athletic build and an hourglass (36-27-37) but really wide shoulders, so the 40s tailoring (esp anything with a military...
I have still done nothing with this lovely dress I bought with hanger marks/fading.... I want to wear it to work, but I don't know what to do about
It's not dust, just fading. Is dying my only option?
A couple winners in the pattern department from Goodwill - a little too modern for...
Agree with all on the circle cutouts, those must have been laser cut. I do have a dress of my mother's from probably early-mid 70s with concentric circles at the neck. They were bound, but the result was probably more like an eyelet effect (the went from 1 1/2" or so down to probably 1/4), that...
5'10 in bare feet, and I am exactly with the tall girls who get jealous of taller girls! My height is one of my features, and I like to work it - love heels though it's taken me a while to get used to people commenting.
I grew up the runt in the family (my mom was 5'10 until she lost two...
Fab shoes, CherryWry - they look lovely and sleek. Wardrobe meltdowns - often solved (and created) by larger wardrobes!
Thanks for the luggage love! I'm super happy with them, but the slight difference in color is a little maddening... I'm trying not to be OCD about it. I've never had any...
The pink/grey! the animal print trench! Oh my poggleberry...
How were the prices? I would guess insane, but I would love you if you told me otherwise...
Drappa and MissHannah your pics are both so lovely!
okay, I'm starting a list!
Martelli Gloves shop (which does not come up in google, though a girl NAMED Paris Martelli does)
Creperie Lepic Assiette on 35 Rue Lepic.
Where else? Fashion-y things? I have a guide book for the educational...
What a playsuit Ada Vice! I love them, but I just can't seem to ever find one that fits...
Miss_Becky PLEASE tell us how the cobbling goes!
my suitcase has step-siblings:
They don't match exactly, and I'm probably not going to take any but the round one to Paris, but I'm so glad I...
Thanks all! This thread could not be better timed - I'll be there in October, and I really really want to avoid looking like a clueless tourist. I haven't been able to find a pair of cigarette pants I'm happy with, but I'll try to stick to the others, and maybe I can fake it!
Everyone have...
