I'm surprised more gals don't wear hats. Whenever I do, I am flooded with compliments and love to see the surprise on peoples' faces when I tell them my hat is from the 40s (or 30s)!
That is too bad. In my opinion, throwing paint or spitting does nothing but disrespect the animal they are trying to champion. I understand why they think it is a good idea to do it - destroy it so they can't wear it -- but all that does is make it so that jacket will be replaced. Continuing the...
I don't mind vintage fur myself. I have a few furs in my closet (which are slowly falling apart due to age and wear). I don't support modern furs, but more because I can't afford it, don't like the silhouettes, and for the most part can find vtg furs thrifting, estate saling, or antique...
Being a lady that avoids the kitchen as much as humanly possible (haha) I have never heard of these spice radios before, but aren't they just neat!! I'm not a fan of Alexa type units, but wouldn't mind a little radio in the kitchen, so these look like something I would love to have! I guess I...
Hahaha Yeah -- I struggle, but I know darn well if it were autumnal cold here, I too would rather enjoy it from inside my house. Heck, it's the middle of winter right now and I went outside in basically the same as my "fall" outfit of a tshirt, shorts, and jellies. LOL That's not to say it...
I find myself always grabbing Lime Crime's New Americana. It is a bright rich red that doesn't lean towards another color (too orange, too blue, too purple, too brown, etc) just a pure red. I wear this one more than any other color from Lime Crime (and believe me I own ALL their reds) or any...
I don't mind if you do, since it will be interesting hearing a man's perspective, but the other's may want to just keep this ladies only so hopefully others will chime in as well. Of course, the ladies section is rather inactive, so I suppose no one will notice if you did. :-D
Try resetting your hair into pin curls with bobby pins and then trying a cotton bandana around your head to keep them in place. So long as your head doesn't sweat too much that you just have to wash your hair after, the cotton will help absorb any extra moisture. Of course if your hair gets...
I'm not a fan of the early sunset either, but I still like the idea of fall. It's just hard to embrace it when I can still go outside in a tshirt, shorts, and my jelly shoes.
The last post in this thread is nearly as old as my makeup collection! I love the Marvelous makeup packaging and have curated a (very) small collection! I wrote more about it on my blog - VintageStarlet.blogspot.com. In the meantime, these items are from the 1930s and were produced by the...
I picked up this lovely art deco lady vase this afternoon at an antique store one town over. The only marking it shows is JAPAN in red on the bottom. Being that generic search terms bring up everything, but this vase, I decided to reverse image search my own photo. It did bring up 2 images of...
What's this...? Me trying to revive another dead thread... again! At this point I think I should change my profession from Burlesque Entertainer to Necromancer!
I know for most of us -- these past 2 years have pretty much put our lives on hold in one way or another. I am no exception to that...
I am sorry this story took me so long to read... this is fantastic!
I know you didn't want to go into great detail of why you were there -- I am just trying to figure out the meaning of the hairspray. The only things I can figure out are..
a) The hairspray represented a form of attraction. The...
Though it looks like one piece, I am guessing it is actually 6 pieces not including the 2 neck facings. I believed it is laid out like that on the pattern art to illustrate that the dress is actually an unfitted dressed that is fitted by those side straps. I may be wrong here... anyone else care...
I wanted to share my Dorothy bounding I did last month! I opted to bound as the classic 1939 MGM version versus the book versions using only what I had already.
The only true vintage is my red shoes (which you have seen in earlier photos I posted on this thread.) More photos can be seen on my...
I have the Ida Jean book Rx for Slimming. It was gifted to me years ago. This post makes me want to thumb through it again considering I am a little off on those perfect measurements from GoodHouseKeeping! :-D
