    Age appropriate dress for your chosen era?

    I don't really worry about whether something is age appropriate or not, I just wear if it looks good and is comfortable, I am 23, so any vintage clothing I put on is probably going to make me look more sophisticated, and there for a little bit older, which is good, since in trendy clothing I...

    Gloves: sizing, etiquette and all other stuff

    I have the opposite problem of many people, my fingers are too slender ( Size 4.5 ring), so the best gloves for are generally the ones from the Edwardian era and the 1920's, but some from 1950's and 1940's work. Does anyone have any gloves from the Edwardian Era or the 1920's, I've been...

    Handmade vintage price v/s Readymade vintage

    Lady Day, I wasn't arguing with you, I was just stating what I personally do, and my personal philosophies behind myself wearing vintage clothing which are really a offspring from my love of history, which does not at all dictate what I think others should do. I think people's reasons for...

    Handmade vintage price v/s Readymade vintage

    Yes, but it still was not made in that era, worn by people of that era, and survived to this era. I think people to do some amazing vintage recreations, but these items just don't have the history attached. Vintage clothing is more about clothing for me, its about having a piece of history, a...

    Handmade vintage price v/s Readymade vintage

    The only problem with me, is that ready made vintage isn't really "vintage". To me, there is something about wearing a authentic garment from an era to really feel like you are a part of living history. Authenitc vintage maybe more expensive to buy/maintain, but it is worth it to me.

    San Rafael is a great city, full of diversity and stuff to do, Marin on the whole is a great place, very beautiful, but the house prices are insanely high. I recently saw a one bedroom, one bathroom fixer upper in a real estate magazine, they said " A bargain a only $999,000!", the rent in SF is...

    Face Powder Face Off

    If you have dry skin, you don't need powder since your skin does not produce a lot of oil, which leads to shine, and it might be doing more harm then good. Powder just sits on dry skin and does not absorb and might clog your pores. If you have dry skin, a good foundation is all you need, and...
