modern perfumes that work with vintage
I also wear Coco Mademoiselle, I think it's lovely, classical but still contemporary. I have reservations about wearing fragrances that were formulated a long time ago - call me superficial but I don't want to smell like an old lady! Scent is such a visceral, emotional thing - I spent months... -
New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hi, Land-o-Lakes! Nice to meet you. It's a great suggestion, I will look out to see if there's something in my area... I've been knitting for years but sewing is something new to me. Seems to me you can always correct a mistake in knitting but not sure if you can do the same with fabric...- Gogo

Naturally curly hair
Hello ladies, this is my first post on this amazingly informative forum. I've already learned so much from reading your posts! The question I have relates to what kind of styling I should do with my naturally curly hair, which isn't particularly frizzy but is definitely on the scruffy side if...
