    Favorite Vintage Perfumes

    I recently had a bottle of Guerlain's Mitsouko Eau de Parfum given to me and it's simply divine. I think it has definitely soared to the top of my favourites list thus demonstrating that the oldies are often the best :) Other than the Mitsouko, I have a fair bit of perfume but mostly more...

    Setting Lotion

    Yes, though to be fair, I have to travel a little closer to your way to find the stores that actually have a good selection. I used to buy Boot's cold cream but it's not stocked near me.

    Is the powder room dying on it's feet.

    Oh I like that one ;)

    Is the powder room dying on it's feet.

    "An immaculate house is the sign of a wasted life" - I have no idea who originally said that, but I like their way of thinking ;)

    Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular

    Oh yes!

    Setting Lotion

    Wow, the general consensus is that Lottabody is the way forward... and *very* reasonably priced from what I've seen which is a bonus.

    Show us your home decor!

    What a delightful idea to post photos of our homes. I only have a small flat, but here are a few pictures I've just taken: I'm currently refurbishing the lampshade, so it's looking a little rough around the edges at the moment.*

    Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular

    I don't wish to appear antagonistic, but I do hope that the reference to not studying "British" in schools in the UK but rather English literature and language is not suggesting that north Americans aren't speaking English. I'd like to think that it is widely accepted that there are multiple...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I'll post as I can't remember if I really introduced myself properly when I stopped lurking and actually joined. Also, I've been away from The Lounge for such a long time :) I've been wearing vintage since my early teens but without the direction that I have nowadays. Back then, I used to raid...

    Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular

    Dixon, that may well be the roots for the English language but evidence of languages that were widespread on these shores before the Anglo-Saxons' time can still be heard in Cornwall and Wales for example. Not all Brits consider the Anglo-Saxons to be their true roots, they just helped to make...

    Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular

    With a thread on "Britishisms", I'm rather tickled to see a thread for the opposite flow of lingo. I sometimes find myself wishing that the term "sidewalk" would take off over here, usually when there's an inconsiderate person racing past on a bicycle. If I'm not finding myself grumbling...

    Setting Lotion

    I can cope with vodka in my hair, but beer sounds like it'd make you smell like an old pub. I've just set my hair with the VO5 potion and it stinks of cheap men's aftershave. I'm rather liking the idea of Linseed gloop scented with Shalimar right now.

    Setting Lotion

    As an aside, the reason I don't use ebay for beauty products is that I get this bizarre message every time I try to look at something: Unfortunately, access to this particular listing or item has been blocked due to a Paris commercial court decision that bans trade of certain authentic...

    Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular

    For some reason I thought we all had African ancestry rather than just 1 in 7. That's certainly what I've been telling my work colleague every time he comes out with some sort of obnoxious, racist comment. Oops!

    Setting Lotion

    I've never seen Lottabody for sale, but will definitely investigate it. Thank you for the link on homemade setting gloop. The results in the pictures are very impressive, especially in terms of the longevity of those curlies when facing dreary Kentish coast weather. I think I may just give...

    My Personal Nine-Day Challenge

    If the weather up in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne is comparable to that of north Wales lately, I would reconsider those gloves just being for style and consider how to waterproof your outfits. The UK has had a rather soggy time of it lately. I certainly wouldn't feel self-conscious about wearing seamed...

    Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular

    As a Brit, I too am not sure how this thread is offensive. I spotted the article on Aunty's website a few days ago and the only thing that made me frown was that the word "ginger" was being adopted. As a redhead having sustained years of verbal abuse due to my dark auburn hair, I find the...

    Setting Lotion

    Having recently taken the plunge and having my Femme Fatale Middy cut in after thorough reading of the Middy thread, I have found myself taking much more care about styling myself vintage than I would've before. For styling my hair, I've been using Schwarzkopf Silhouette Super Hold setting...

    Is the powder room dying on it's feet.

    I've been a longtime lurker here even before I joined up, and I guess part of my minimal contribution is lack of confidence in having anything worthwhile to say. The Lounge is *such* an amazing resource for all things vintage and as only a dabbler, it can seem a bit like I'm just a noob about it...

    The Middy Thread

    Thank you, Alice :D I am so much happier now than I was coming out of the hairdressers. I do still think mine looks more mullet-like than Lisa Freemont St.'s unstyled middy in her tutorial despite the lengths being the same aside from the crown. I'm not too worried though now that I've managed...
