    Besame cosmetics

    I think I am going to have to try a different shade of lipstick - both are just too red for me (and not in an attractive way)! Maybe I'll try Cherry Red or Merlot next time around! I do love the Plum Dandy eye shadow - I might have to buy a full size of that, and the Sun Kissed rouge is...

    Ooohh...Did some one say sweaters?!!! I love them!! I just bought two vintage sweaters from ebay, that I posted in the "Show us your purchases" thread. I need to find some pencil skirts and circle skirts to wear with them though...I tried to make a pencil skirt the other night, but it...

    Do you have a nickname?

    Wow, where do I start?? My given name is Kimberly, and the only person who addresses me by my formal first name is my paternal grandmother. She wanted my mother to name me Rosebud, but my mother insisted on Kim. To this day my grandmother refuses to call me Kim, always Kimberly because "Kim...

    Show us your vintage hats!

    I love all the hats you ladies have posted! While I am sure there is nothing that completes an outfit more than the perfect hat, I am just not a hat person - I look ridiculous in them! I envy those of you who can wear these hats and pull it off so well. I'm looking forward to seeing more of...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    I'm up north - about 2 hours north of Indianapolis, and about an hour south of South Bend. I always get excited to find other people from Indiana on any of the boards I frequent! :)

    Hair + Round Face

    If I remember correctly, I think there are some vintage ads that show some examples of hair styles for all kinds of face shapes, which can be found here: http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/dynaweb/adaccess/beauty/@Generic__CollectionView Just go through the "Hair Preparations" links for the era...

    Credo of the new Vintage Lady

    Great idea, Lady Day! I like the one's you've posted....I don't have anything to add at this time, but I will definitely have to give it some thought!

    Beauty Bargains

    e.l.f. So far I've only tried the Smoothing Lip Gloss, and while it is very sticky and very well, glossy, it is wonderful feeling on your lips. It smells good too! I have Pixie, and honestly I got it as a free gift with one of my eBay purchases. It isn't really my color, but I'm thinking of...

    Knitters, check this out!

    I need some one to show me how to knit. I know the basic idea of it, and I've tried going off of a website that has instructions and pictures, but I need some one to actually show me how. I've been dying to learn! Add that to the "Things to Learn" list that seems to be ever-growing! I envy...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    Oh I know how that goes! Not so much with my mother, but more with my Grandmother. We've had some recent health scares in my family so I've decided that I want to be healthier...not just for myself, but so my family members won't have to worry about me. My aunt is overweight and was sent to the...

    Would you chose to know: boy or girl?

    For our first baby, I do not want to know - I want it to be a surprise. For any following children, I am not sure...part of me would like to know, so we can plan for what we need in the way of clothing and such (don't want to dress the poor little fellow in pink dresses after all!) but I guess...

    Your local stations

    I didn't see this mentioned, but it's possible I missed it! There is a nifty website called Radio Locator that you can search for radio stations in your area and it even lists what type of music they play.

    Nutrition and exercise!

    I really need to start exercising again. I know I'd feel a lot better and have more energy, but it's hard to get motivated. I don't have a lot of free time and by the time I get home from work I'm exhausted and ready to wind down. I've been considering walking on my lunch breaks so I'd at least...

    New job for your vintage lifestyle?

    Oh I definitely understand the part about creative jobs losing their enjoyment! For a while I was doing wedding photography. I loved spending time with the bride and groom on one of the most special days of their lives, capturing every emotion and moment as it happened. I loved watching the...

    New job for your vintage lifestyle?

    I wish I had that option, but unfortunately it just isn't practical. I do photography in my spare time (ha, I have to remind myself what that is every so often) and I suppose if I (no pun intended) focused my attentions more to doing vintage portraits, which I'd love to do, but since I work a...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Ack!!! I just placed a bid on a dress that is extremely cute and just my size, but now I'm hoping I'm outbid because I'm so intimidated by the color!!!! This is dumb! It's a beautiful dress, but my goodness it's *red*! ETA - *PHEW!!!* I was outbid at the last second! This is absurd - are...
