I believe for the first time in history that obesity is a sign of poverty in many circles - it's so much cheaper to buy junk food than to buy fresh fruit and veg - never mind trying to buy organic food. If you are on a tiny wage and are trying to feed your family your choices are pretty...
Yes - I agree that this was most certainly the case but it makes me so glad to live in a world where you can choose to have children - or not, or choose how many you want, and if you do have children that good medical care is available to you throughout.
I have no doubt that many of these families were so close - I come from what would be considered a fairly big family these days (7 brothers and me) and we all get on wonderfully thank God - but I feel that a lot of couples back then had many, many children because they had no choice in the...
I've read this thread with interest and many points have been raised for and against living in the Golden Era and I have to say I agree that "These are the good old days". From stories that my Mother has told me to looking at the history of my country I would have hated - particularly as a...
I'm sorry to say I have yet to watch an Ingmar Bergman movie! I've seen many skits of his films but would like to see some of his most lauded ones so I can have an idea of what he's about.....
I completely agree with you - confidence is key to carrying off any look - you just know someone who is comfortable in their skin - it's just something they radiate.
I just put up pretty much all my circle skirts for sale in my Etsy shop (msgolightlyvintage) so please pop over and have a...
Well I've been buying vintage since around 2003 so it's taken me a while to "separate the sheep from the goats" as you say!!!! :)
If a lot of your wardrobe doesn't fit I would only take the pieces I adore to the tailor as it's so expensive to get things taken in/out and leave the things you...
Thank you Wahine - that's a really lovely compliment! :) I think it has taken me some time (dare I say a few years!) to try to pin down my style and what that is and how I want to look - I've bought many lovely things that sadly, when worn, I just thought "Lovely as it is, it's not me" - I said...
Lovely dress Faith - very glam!
I got this dress the other day - I love the bow detailing and the fact that the rest of the dress is so plain - I just hope it doesn't look too "wedding-y" but I reckon with the right accessories it shouldn't:
This peach dress - again very plain but I...
My Mum has so many sayings but here are a few of my favourites:
"As old as Kate Kearney's cat"
"You may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb"
"Many a slip can happen between the cup and the lip"
"As long as the pitcher goes to the well it will get broken"
"The darkest hour is...
I have watched that movie at least four times now and I must admit it's partly (ok mostly) to do with her fabulous house/garden and lovely scenery in CA (reminds me of my honeymoon)! It's like the Italian part of Eat Pray Love - I watch that part any time it's on tv just for the lovely shots of...
