    What do you keep your makeup in at home.

    I have a red leather make-up train carrier that sits on the back of my toilet for all of my goodies. I love to buy make up but rarely wear any of it. Just too busy! Which is terribly naughty of me, because we all deserve to be well groomed and well-dressed.

    Fashion with Aunt Flow

    I think housedresses that aren't that binding would be a good fit. And thank goodness for the water bottle. Heat helps with cramps. Much better than midol or advil.

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Cherry Red--those dresses are to die for. And Daisy--you are so lucky you have small shoes--those shoes are simply darling! It is taking all of my energy not to go straight to eBay and start buying stuff, but I'm trying to save all of my pennies for the wedding. But come the new year--I'm...

    Naturalizer Coupon Code

    Oh Good call Tourbillon! I particularly like the last three pairs you posted. Hmmm... I need a good pair of workable black shoes....

    I would like to ask a favor of the ladies

    Oooh! Viviene--you have a lot of really cute things on the site! I'm really impressed and plan to return once my funds become a bit more flush.

    What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up?

    When I was in second grade we once had the assignment to draw a picture of what we wanted to be when we grew up. I drew a picture of myself as an archeologist! With a pith helmet on to boot! When I was a kid I used to like to draw advertisements. I should have taken that as a sign to go into...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    As some of you may know, my obsession with dressing gowns only continues and I bought this beauty off of eBay from a lady in Australia. It will be perfect for wrapping myself in on a cold San Francisco morning. But after this I am officially taken a break from eBay. Must. Save. Money...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    It is upsetting to read these rough encounters with as Rebecca noted, "tailess apes"! But we retro ladies--actually all ladies--have the right to walk around wearing whatever makes us feel comfortable without leering. Stockings are not only great to wear--and I will continue to wear them--I...

    Remix Shoes!!

    I have found all of three of my recently purchased Remix wedges to be very comfy after days of walking, so I'm sure you'll be fine. And if worse comes to worse--you could order two pair--one in a 7 and the other in an 8 and see which pair works for you and then return the other pair ASAP. I...

    I feel like I should be on "What Not to Wear"

    Great point Brooksie about taking wonky stuff from thirft stores and using a bit of creativity and snap to create a new look out of old clothes. And check out www.craftster.com. Such smart kids over there making skirts out of pillowcases and such. So clever!

    Show us what you've made!

    Oh Built By Wendy is great! For any sewers out there her book "Sew U" is terrific! And look at that cape. You know, capes are the big thing this season. Rather retro. I wonder how they'll play out.

    I feel like I should be on "What Not to Wear"

    Hey HumbleStumble! We've all felt that way at some time. Even though I have quite a few vintage dresses, it sometimes takes me a bit of guts to get the whole outfit on. Every day just adding a little bit more can help. Now as far as sewing I have two suggetions: 1.) Keeping with simple...

    Remix Shoes!!

    I'm so glad the fit worked for you. I'm wearing the Picassos right now and I think they are my favorite pair--and the leather seems much more durable on that design than possibly the others.

    "It" - For the Gals.

    Ms. Rosalind Russell People! I went through this whole link and didn't find my favorite. So I'm adding her now. The spectacular Rosalind Russell. What a dame. Her role in "His Girl Friday" set the tone for smart dames across the US and "Auntie Mame"--every woman with a nephew's role...

    Remix Shoes!!

    Oh and I just got my pair of red mary janes back in a bigger size. Much more comfy! I don't know why but I always seem to step in gum the first day I wear my ReMix shoes. I usually never do, but with new Remix shoes--always within the first 4 hours of wearing!

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    That top pair looks a lot like the thirties style shoe that Remix makes. It seems very rare to see green seude with black details, you know?

    Dressing vintage in the workplace

    My collection of vintage beaded sweaters makes it into my work wardrobe. And I love wearing my Remix wedges, since they are so comfy. And I wear a lot of my Manifesto shirts, which are vintage-inspired. My workplace is pretty mellow but full of hipsters, so I just kinda mishmash everything...
