I don't know too much about the history of my granddad (maternal) and g/grandpa (paternal) during WW2. I do know that my maternal grandpa joined the South African Navy at 16 years of age, and that he was fighting up in North Africa (so I'm told). He never mentioned anything about his time in the...
I was very outgoing (kind of the opposite of what I am now, booo). My family and I used to live in a block of apartments, and I used to go to every single apartment (there must've been 70 or so) and I would knock on every door, and ask the people if there were any kids in there that I could be...
I don't know how 'mis-dated' this would be. But when I was at work a few years back, I decided I'd go in with my red lips, curled hair (which I'd done the night before using the rag curl technique). I wore a black dress with little white flowers on, and I think blue 40's style wedges. Anyway...
Hello all!
I'm also a newbie, even though I joined this forum in 2010! I didn't see this post till today! Anyway, my name is Janine and I live in Australia, and in my early 20's. I can't quite remember how I stumbled upon this website, but it must've been through a fair amount of 1940's google...
I'm South African (living in Australia) and it's always been jersey to me. I always get caught off guard whenever someone asks me about a jumper....:eek: my face haha.
I never wash my hair
no I'm kidding. Usually I wash it every second day, but there are time when I will was my hair after something like 4 days! That was way too long for me!
Well I splurged, because I used to have Revlon lipstick but it made my lips feel really dry. So I went and got myself Dior Rouge Flamboyant Blazing Red...I haven't worn it for a while, and I really miss it.
I was always too scared to colour my hair, because I didn't like the idea of it being damaged. Thus, I haven't coloured it...well, I have, but only once. I have naturally dark brown hair, and only went a shade lighter. It looked pretty nice. I also decided to have some highlights in my hair, and...
Jewellery/accessories
Hi all
Now, being new to the whole look (and still trying to get it!:confused: ) I was wondering what jewellery/accessories women - particularly the 40's - wore?
I'm talking earrings, necklaces, and the like. I know brooches were fashionable, but that's about all I...
How many of you are vintage when swimming?
So, how many of you ladies and gents have vintage style swimming attire? And how many of you go 'vintage style' when swimming?
I bought myself a swimming costume the other day, and was quite delighted when my mother told me it was so 'olden day' style!
