    Show us your vintage-vintage inspired Engagement Ring!

    Good thread! My setting is from the 1930's and the diamond is my grandmother's. We just finally found a band to go with it!

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    Nope! I'm definitely not a fan of the 70's (or late 60's for that matter). But I believe my dislike stems from being raised by my grandparents. My grandfather always had amusing stories about the "damned hippies" and what an upheaval those times were. I think subconciously I just associate the...

    The New National Museum of the Marine Corps

    I'm so jealous! Looks beautiful! We're suckers for anything dealing with Marine Corps history and I love anything referencing WWII.

    Baby Names? Vintage?

    I wish I had a vintage name (though I guess my nickname is actually an old Irish name)! I worked for a bank on the east coast and we had little old ladies come in with adorable names like Esther-Lou. My best friend wants to name her son (non-existent as of now) James Dean, and with their last...

    Welcome to 1956, time warp home~

    I'd go crazy living in only one room! I guess if you're used to small spaces, suddenly having hundreds of square feet to live in could seem a bit overwhelming.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thanks for the compliments ladies! Deco--I love the hat!! That is so pretty and it looks like it was made for you.

    Is Paris Hilton the modern day flapper?

    :offtopic: Has anyone ever noticed that she has the ugliest hands and feet?

    That dress is heavenly! Would be very cute if you could dye a crinoline to match the light violet color in it.

    Pillow-face

    I've had this issue before too, but silk/satin cases never worked for me (always gave me static-head). I don't know what your face routine is, but I will give my face a good splash of luke warm water, pat dry, and aply my cold cream like I'm taking off my make-up. The massaging motion seems to...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Irish-American twist This is my version of a French twist (hence, Irish-American). I wore this on a very hot, windy day here in the desert and it held up quite nicely. I did have to make sure my hair was wet to start, but other than that I just twisted, tucked, and pinned! It was my first...

    Fountain pen ink?

    Sorry bartenders if this should go elsewhere! Couldn't really find a place where it should land... I've inherited a gorgeous fountain pen set. It's one pen with 7 different nibs. It's an Osmiroid (and I suppose it's techinically a calligraphy set). It has a refillable ink well and it says to...

    Vintage Manicures

    Kitty! Turns out my grandmother swears by this brand and had an extra bottle waiting for me!! I love it! It makes my nails so pretty and glossy! Here's my polish job after about 3 days and it's still shiny!

    What to wear??

    Grease is actually a great reference. Go watch the movie and take notice of girls like Marty and Cha-Cha, as they were more into the sweaters and pants versus the poodle skirts. Cha-Cha's outfit from the final racing scene is a good one, and very easy to mimic...

    Classic wide leg pants?

    I agree with both of you! I have a short torso and I've noticed that high waist anything makes me look all boob too! I had a major fashion boo-boo with a high waist skirt that I don't think I'll be repeating! lol Now wide leg, yes! Love those!

    What would you wear to a theme park?

    This is what I wore! I absolutely love my Keds, they are the most confortable things I've ever worn! I'm wearing little bootie socks, which you can't tell in the picture. I was very happy I went with something more "inspired" than actually vintage because... ...I got soaked on one of the...

    Matchy-matchy or not so much-y?

    My nails and lips I do like to match, at least if my nails are painted red! That's about all I try to match, because I agree, it looks costumey if you do too much at once. But I do make sure my undergarments match my outfit. I have this odd little fear about having to be rushed to the hospital...

    What would you wear to a theme park?

    Saddle shoes are a great idea--especially since I've REALLY been wanting a pair. I too like Converse, but they tend to hurt my heel.

    What would you wear to a theme park?

    Our anniversary is this weekend and we're going to Universal Studios in L.A. to celebrate! I want to put together some sort of vintage look, but there will be a lot of walking, a lot of rides, and the (good) possibility of rain. I have only one set of vintage-style jeans, which I can definitely...

    Flowers in the hair

    Alligator clip. I have 3 flowers that I wear continuosly because of this reason. It's easy for me to use and re-position. It seems like with the snap barrettes if I try to take it out, it pulls my hair with it.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I posted these under the new purchases thread, but they belong here too. These are from a repro/vintage-inspired line, I think. They're called Fahrenheit. Won them off eBay.
