Hi everyone! We just moved to Charlotte for my new job, and are having fun exploring the area. Are there are any good vintage shops or restaurants, etc. here?
If anyone needs an excuse to order some Besame (teehee!), they have an anniversary pack with Victory lipstick AND nail polish, as well as the V for Victory pin! I just ordered mine today and I am super excited.
I'm a Glenn Miller gal! My musical tastes are pretty wide, from classical to country, Slipknot to Sinatra, but Capt. Miller and his orchestra always put me In The Mood (pardon the pun!).
From shopping Saturday, when it was ridiculously hot here. I went for kind of a rockabilly ponytail with a rolled pomp up front to keep my hair up off my neck.
Welcome!! Yes, by all means - don't be intimidated by some peoples post counts or lack thereof! I lurked for a long time before signing up and I still lurk most of the time :D As far as sewing, the simplest place to start might be an A-line skirt. There are tons of easy patterns out there that...
Have you tried setting lotion and a wet pin curl set yet? I've got a lot of hair, but it's baby fine, and this is what works best for me. With a hefty dose of Lottabody and a pin curl set, I can hold a style for three days. Lately, I've been doing setting lotion while damp and blow drying, then...
After seeing some of the unfortunate pics taken of celebrities who seemed to have run out for quick errands sans makeup and a nice outfit, I started pretending there are paparazzi camped outside my house, just waiting to get one of "those" pictures. I hung a mirror by the front door and now...
Seconded! During the winter, I also wear the ~$5 George brand tights from Walmart that come in black and nude. They're thick, hold up very, very well and are comfortably warm on all but the coldest, windiest days. I've also been able to darn the toes and heels when they've worn through, which...
Hmmmm...vodka, you say? "A little bit for the conditioner bottle, a little bit for mama, a little bit more for the conditioner bottle, a little bit more for mama..." ;)
Here's hoping you get to feeling better soon!! If you're finding that the depression is an ongoing problem, you might want to talk to your doctor. Deficiencies in vitamins D and the Bs can be the culprit, as can things like hypothyroidism and celiac disease (gluten allergy). Getting my...
I'm curious what kind of effects this method has on hair color. I tried it before I started coloring my hair again and it worked phenomenally. However, now I do my hair red it sounds like it would be gentle, but I'm concerned that it might cause an off reaction or strip the color faster, so...
Does anyone know of someone in Columbus, Ohio who cuts and styles vintage hair? I had a horrible, horrible experience the last time I had a hair cut (First Choice) and have been terrified ever since that I'd end up with another slash'N'whack. It's been more than a year, though, so it really...
My winter plans, which I probably ought to get started on :) , include finding some nice fur-lined boots, a fur scarf or small capelet, wool stockings and getting my wool coat taken in. I love the coat, it's long and grey and looks fantastic with my big snowflake pin on the lapel, but I suspect...
Rimmel used to make a GORGEOUS red called Seduction, but they must have discontinued it because I'll be darned if I can find it anywhere. I LOVED that color.
I found Maybelline's Red Revival shade of lipstick and it's fantastic! Creamy, not shimmery, and a straight, deep red that works amazingly well with my golden complexion. I'm in love!
