What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
I think I've found my perfect dramatic evening red - L'oreal Garnet Creme. The Lipstick Queen range is by an Australian called Poppy King. She had a lipstick brand years ago called Poppy, with a focus on red and a few different textures available: matte, cream, metallic etc. I still have a...- Fancy Mouse

vintage or vintage related Christmas gifts
There are some breathtaking gifts in this thread. Zaika, that table runner is especially lovely. My vintage-y Christmas presents were: a two edition new set of The Commonsense Cookery Book (as compiled by the New South Wales Cookery Teachers' Association) and a 2008 diary of vintage wine...- Fancy Mouse

To dye or not to dye
Disclaimer: I am no expert! I am merely sharing my hair dye experience in the hopes it might prove instructive in some way. When I made a terrible mistake with black dye on my brown hair (with reddish undertones), I initially got very fine (matchstick-or-smaller width) highlights put through...- Fancy Mouse

Books about the Looks
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, MegamiOrchard, but I just borrowed a recently published book from my local library. The title is It's Vintage, Darling!: how to be a clothes connoisseur, by Christa Weil. It's quite interesting for me, as a newcomer to vintage, because it talks...- Fancy Mouse

Suggestion for a new vintage repro/inspired Clothing Line?
As another Queenslander, I agree with all of the above! Simple, practical and comfortable everyday clothing would be great. Clothing that is appropriate to wear to the office or out shopping.- Fancy Mouse

Vintage Manicures
Oooh, thanks for telling your beauty secrets. ;) I'll definitely have to stop by a stationery shop as soon as my nails grow back. The french tip stickers don't even seem to work for my french tips, let alone half moons.- Fancy Mouse

Any other gals growing their hair out?
A few years ago I got a Mason Pearson brush as a gift (which is lucky, because I would never be able to afford one myself!). It...is...heaven. My hair has been in much better condition since, and even my scalp feels like it's healthier. [huh]- Fancy Mouse

The Great Sweater Search
I love cardigans and wear them with pencil skirts, circle skirts, pleated skirts, jeans, trousers, over the top of dresses... I would love to buy some of the beautiful beaded vintage cardigans I've seen, but I haven't found any that fit yet. I do have a beautiful sherbert-orange coloured modern...- Fancy Mouse

Feeling Moody and Down? What do you do?
My absolute bulletproof remedy: Chinese takeaway and a new pair of shoes, preferably impractical sparkly heels. This is a rare one, though, and has to be used at times when I can afford it. ;) I think this time I'll put on some Peggy Lee and drink a cup of coffee with some dark chocolate instead.- Fancy Mouse

Vintage Ads - Safeguard Your Daintiness!
I haven't had occasion to try it myself either, but I wouldn't recommend using anything more exotic than yoghurt if at all possible! I've heard of garlic being quite uncomfortable to use.- Fancy Mouse
