    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Wow! That is just brilliant! Very clever of you and they look darling. Could you post a picture of you in them? They look so comfy!

    Ooh! Vintage green is my all time favorite color. I have a pair of Remix in green and I just love them. Makes me buy more green dresses too! Thanks for the update and I'll keep my eyes peeled to the new site.

    Break Out the Board Games!

    Ditto on the Apples to Apples, dominoes and Balderdash, ITG! I love board games! Every Sunday in my house, we would play a board game. One of the family favorites was Parcheesi--I never see that around any more. And of course Monopoly and other flash in the pan games. And my grandmother...

    Food & Drink

    Speaking of 1940s House (which I just watched on TV the other night and loved) it seem rather tough to deal with trying to get enough food on the table--something that most people today are lucky enough not to have to deal with.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    What? You made your own shoes? You are my hero MissJolie! How did you do it? So, here are my favorite shoes. Non vintage to wear because they are just so darn comfy--the old dansko clog. And then there are my favorite remix ones which I adore: Picasso.

    "Advocate Glamoure all the time..."

    I understand the dried out lip thing. I was just on Cape Cod for the holidays and I forgot how dry mine can get during a New England winter. Throughout the holidays I had a chapstick tucked into my velour hoodie. Tee hee! I just watched PBS series "1940s House" (highly recommend btw) and they...

    Does anyone know that AMC series?

    I think I did have in mind "Remember WENN" but those other two series, "The Lot" and "The Bijou" sound divine! I would watch them again in a heart beat. I wonder how you can influence AMC to put some of their shows on DVD. Hmmm... I wonder if pinging them with a couple of emails might do the...

    Bay Area loungers: a little help?

    I'm posting on behalf of my sweetie Skillbilly, but I would recommend checking out Al's Attire in North Beach. Most of his stuff is not off the rack, but it is beautiful nonetheless and Al is a great character--worth the trip alone. 1314 Grant Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94133 (415) 693-9900...

    eBay prices

    So true, LizzieMaine! And then there was the swing revival in the nineties that blew out a lot of vintage stock too. (We all remember the Gap ad...) So many people who dipped their toe into vintage style then bought up a lot of beautiful pieces, but then in 2000-2003 a lot of it was back on...

    Mascara on upper lashes only?

    I second eyelash tinting. Benefit Cosmetics does them beautifully alone or as part of their "Trio" offering--brow shape, tint and eyelash tint. It's completely addictive, but for me--a person whose mascara runs withing an hour of wearing it--it's genius!

    Does anyone know that AMC series?

    Oh hurrah! Yes! That's it! Thanks Imoldfashioned! You are an absolute doll! What a pity that it's not on Netflix, but I'll certainly check out that Wikipedia page.

    "Advocate Glamoure all the time..."

    I too can't leave the house without lipstick on. From the moment my mother allowed my to wear lipstick (on my 16th birthday, she made a big deal of letting my buy a Loreal lipstick--a la mauve--from the drug store) I've had it on. I feel so washed out without it. But I have my hidden...

    Classic wide leg pants?

    Thanks for the comment on the cabinetry--courtesy of our 1911 bungalow. And thanks for the tip on the Chelsea pants at Lane Bryant. I'll go take a lookie at those tomorrow.

    eBay prices

    I was talking about this to a friend who owns a vintage clothing store and she said that it's not necessariliy supply and demand as much as it's just getting harder and harder to find vintage clothing. There is a limited supply. It took all of my energy not to break down in tears right there!

    The lesser known of the new period pics

    The Imposters is one of my all time favorite movies--you can tell everyone on the set is having such a fun time! I highly recommend it for a day when you are feeling cruddy and just want something light and delicious to watch.

    Does anyone know that AMC series?

    Set in the 1940s--I think it took place on a movie set. I just thought of it and am hoping to get it on Netflix. Anyone?

    Little Black Dress

    I just looked in my closet and although I have a couple of black dresses, none of them seemed to fit the hefty role of the LBD. Off to shop I go! Actually, does anyne get Real Simple Magazine? They had a great article in the January issue about dresses and showed some lovely ones...

    Classic wide leg pants?

    Oh no--they are completely ornamental. And there is a zipper on the side. It is a metal zipper and I must admit that the teeth bit every now and then, so be careful. She offers this style in black with white buttons, but I think I will ask her to make them with a black plastic zipper if...

    How does a girl keep warm?

    Thanks IslaLund, I bought them more than 10 years ago and I just love them! They make any outfit I wear with them 10 times more vavoom! Just what a girl wants in a pair of shoes!
