    I love the brown ones! I need to get serious about finding a good pair of brown shoes. Seems like they go with just about anything.

    It looks like they are a brand called Fahrenheit? That's what the seller says they are (I'll let you know for sure once I have them in my hot little hand). Looks like they are probably a vintage repro or inspired line.

    day / evening make up

    I'm one of those people who wear false lashes during the day because I love the way it looks (plus I want to feel glamorous all day long)! But I usually use a light white or cream colored shadow for day and I'll add color at night, like a plum purple or a charcol gray. Also during the day I use...

    I'm not really sure what year it belongs to, I just loved it! Hubbs just let me purchase this beauty, which I have been dreaming of for months! The silk Crepe de Chine dress from J. Peterman. And for a benefit we're going to at the end of the month, these adorable retro t-straps from eBay.

    Miss, Mrs. or Madam? The demise of Ms?

    I'm seriously contemplating introducing myself as Mrs. M from now on, follwed by a, "But you may call me Emer." When I was younger, my mother taught me to always refer to an adult as Mr. or Mrs. (Ms. :rolleyes:) Their Last Name until I was told by them to do otherwise. I was always a favorite of...

    The Things Women Will Do...for Beauty

    Ick! That gives me the heebie jeebies! "Hosting" worms! They need to start pumping these thoughts back into the world! I'm sorry but an emaciated movie star being called sexy? [bad] She's not sexy, she's firewood! I think an episode of CSI actually touched on this. But the person was...

    Boots Original Beauty Formula

    Those bottles are divine! So pretty. I wonder why Boots can't deliver outside the UK? I understand the reason for their pharmacy, but you'd think they could send make-up and such through the mail.

    Bandanas: Okay, or dorky?

    If you had curlers on under them, then I might lay off that! lol But if you're wearing it Rosie-inspired, then tell your teacher to kiss off! Might go a bit :offtopic: here: The first time I wore all out red lipstick, it was after Halloween and I'd been Marilyn Monroe. I loved it so much it...

    Vintage Manicures

    I have no moons! I was just looking at the above picture and looked at my own nails--I have no moons! Is that weird?

    I heart Etsy Powder blue shift dress from Etsy seller StilettoGirl (so simple, so clean) and a steal for only $6! Fascinator, also from Etsy, from Boring Sydney (am going to wear it to a benefit auction this month!).

    Vintage Manicures

    You really like that brand, don't you Kitty? I think you've recommended it to me for something else as well. I guess now I'll have to put it on my list for my next "shopping" trip.

    Vintage Prom attire

    Keep a watch at some of the deptartment stores too--the vintage and Hollywood starlet look are back in and a lot of designers have been taking their cue from the past. I've found some beautiful dresses at Macy's, Belks, even Sears and JC Penny that were very vintage inspired. Don't forget Etsy...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I love TUK shoes! Some of them are so perfect for vintage outfits (I have 2 pairs...for now)! Can't comment on the sizes though as my foot is pretty average.

    Vintage Manicures

    How about base & top coats? Anyone have a brand they love? I was using Sally Hansen's base and top coat (all in one) but it's terrible! :rage: It goes on smooth and then as it dries all sorts of bubbles start appearing. I was told this is because I'm not putting it on clean, dry, bare nails but...

    Is it 2008 or 1958?? - Retro marriage, 21st century-style

    Finally there This year was the year I was finally able to become a stay-at-home-wife, something I've been wanting to do/be since we were married (3 years ago). And really, the only reason it happened this soon was because we moved into a small town with zero job opportunities (the one time I'm...

    Miss, Mrs. or Madam? The demise of Ms?

    I actually had this conversation with a firend of mine last week! We'd noticed on (our favorite show) "I Love Lucy," Lucy always introduces herself as "Mrs. Ricardo" or (when she wants attention) as "Mrs. Ricky Ricardo" and Ethel as "Mrs. Mertz." Very rarely do you hear them introduce themselves...

    1950's Wardrobe: The Basics

    That dress is heavenly! It's a crime that vintage retailers had to convert to modern styles or be shut down.
