My shop is simplesong and I sell skirts, capelets, blouses, and dresses all of my own design. The styles vary from The Golden Era to Steampunk. Although I did sell a thrift store find once.
Just reading these stories makes me have a terrible day!
Which reminds me, I was walking out of a store one bright and beautiful morning when the grips on my stockings decided to go kaput and come on down like it was on the Price Is Right. This would have been okay with my car being parked...
I was plagued with this smudging problem for years. Then, I started dabbing my eyelids with pressed powder before the mascara. Next, I do up my lashes... the top mostly, I'll add a touch of eyeliner to the bottom. Lastly, I would add a light dusting of pressed powder along the bottom of my lid...
At Disneyland, I am always in a dress and cardigan. Heels sometimes, maybe if I drop by late in the afternoon.
My parents always told us that Disneyland is a luxury and we should dress like it.
I have a ton of parasols. Some that have yet to see the sunlight. Make that most.
I bought the majority of them at this fair type thing my hometown does every Thursday night. And I got my favorite one from my favorite place, Disneyland.
I am currently looking for a nice Edwardian parasol to...
My Hawaiian rule of thumb...left side like a wedding ring.
People always try to tell me I'm wrong but they could be trying to annoy me. Anyway, as long as everyone here knows which side means what then its okay.
And, I know nothing about roses meaning anything. I hope not, though. They're...
When a was a very little girl, I remember seeing the one photo of my grandma from when she was younger. She was beautiful! I wanted to be like her so much.
And, my father would always listen to jazz, albiet not very good jazz at times (smooth? pah!), and started teaching me the culture by...
I teach jr. high girls at a youth group and received a letter like this from one of them. Only, they were using socks, um, I think they called it The Funky Sock Society.
It was fun because you expected ugly.
As released this passed Thrusday, Disney will be coming out with their first hand-drawn feature in a looong time, The Frog Princess.
It is going to be set in New Orleans during the 1920s and will star Disney's first black princess, Maddy.
Here's a link with a minor spoiler of Maddy's...
The very few times I wore my rings on the outside, I always ended up taking them off and forgetting they were there. I would then spend the next morning running around like a chicken with her head cut off looking for the darn thing.
I don't find that to be very practical.
By reading the subject, I thought you meant Louisiana, which I am considering myself.
But I do live in a Los Angeles suburb. LA has a great vintage scene, with some pretty ridiculously expensive thrift stores and the cutest little boutiques, no place is the same. There is always an occasion to...
My sweetie and I will be making dinner together and exchanging homemade gifts. My gifts to him include even more food, but it's ok.
I'm really not the best cook, so its going to be a stretch for me (as I only know women who can either sew or cook, not both).
Actually, I think I should start...
My cousin is a beautician, and I've put my life in her hands so many times, but she always does an amazing job.
Although, one time she suggested I chop my chest-length hair to an Aeon Flux-ish cut. It. was. bad. My hair is shoulder length now, but I'm still trying to battle the backwards...
