Your vintage dream outfit:- forget your figure and budget just for once
C-dot - I love that suit too - it's stunning. There are photos of her wearing it celebrating her last 36th birthday on studio lot (Marilyn didn't have a big wardrobe and tended to borrow clothes/jewellery from the studio) - here's a better look at the suit from the unfinished movie: And...- Miss Golightly

Your vintage dream outfit:- forget your figure and budget just for once
Anything Audrey Hepburn wore in Funny Face (too many to post here) or Charade (again everything she wore in this movie) Marilyn's dress and coat from Something's Got to Give: Anything Grace Kelly wore (pretty much ever and) in Rear Window - this suit with halterneck blouse is...- Miss Golightly

Show us your vintage home!
Thank you! We're very excited about it - can't wait to get started! To be honest if the fireplaces had been replaced I would have searched high and low for originals to put in their places - I don't think you can beat an open fire (even if it is a lot of work to clean it etc.).- Miss Golightly

The Wifely Duties
I loved PE and wish we had had more of it - I think I had a lot of energy to burn off as a child/teen - I would literally run myself ragged until the class ended. I was no good at playing netball or tennis or the likes - I found them really boring and had zero interest in them (the netball team...- Miss Golightly

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I firmly agree with you - I am horrified that someone spat at someone simply for their choice of clothing - that's revolting and beyond low rent. I don't care if it's vintage fur or new fur I am completely against people being shouted at/having paint thrown at them/being harrassed for wearing...- Miss Golightly

Something's rotten in Denmark
I had to laugh at that! So true! I saw him years ago in The Boy from Oz and he is so fit (you'd have to be on Broadway) - but not in an overworked Daniel "Casino Royale" Craig style - for me, that's just too much. But back to the main topic - I don't see how a tax will change people's...- Miss Golightly

Something's rotten in Denmark
You're not the first person I have heard say that - once they ate naturally all the crazy cravings went away. My husband and I have adopted a not so strict version of the Paleo Diet - we avoid carbs as much as possible (except cereal in the morning as the idea of eating last nights leftovers is...- Miss Golightly

Something's rotten in Denmark
Well done Rue! I have to agree with you - I like to eat naturally too - no diet anything - so full fat yoghurt, cheese, and if I want a cake (rare but when I want it, I want it!) I will go to the local bakery and buy something that was made that day and will turn to a rock after a few hours...- Miss Golightly

Show us your vintage home!
Thank you everyone! I loved the house the second I walked into it - I just got such a lovely feeling from it. Funnily enough we went across the road to view a similar house for sale and I took an instant dislike to it - even though it was in better shape than ours - funny that! So glad to...- Miss Golightly

What Are You Reading
Margot Fonteyn by Meredith Daneman - I recently saw a documentary on Sky Arts about Margot Fonteyn and was fascinated by her life (I don't care for the ballet really but do admire the discipline and artistry of it) and thought I would love to read more about her.- Miss Golightly

Show us your vintage home!
So many beautiful homes! This is our new home in it's current "Before" state! It was built in the late 1940's and I reckon that was the last time anything was done to it. At the moment it is pretty much a monument to bad taste but work will hopefully begin after Christmas and should take...- Miss Golightly

Sexy lingerie
Oops! Thanks for letting me know Paul - I've just done a bit of a Spring clean there!;) Glad to see I'm not the only Wolford lover - they are quite expensive here though - I went to buy them in Brown Thomas (our biggest department store) and it turned out they were €10 cheaper to buy on ASOS...- Miss Golightly

Sexy lingerie
I have always worn tights - fine ones for work and opaques in Winter - lovely as stockings are they are not something I ever got into (the fear of walking down to the office and one of them drifting off down to my ankle - the horror! Worrying about ladders was stressful enough) although I think...- Miss Golightly

How do you wear a blouse?
There have been times I have pulled the back of my strapless bra waaaaaaay down just so I can wear it without it showing - I just hate not wearing a bra (I'm not even that busty or anything!) - I like the security of having one on I suppose (just in case!) - I've used the sticky on bra things...- Miss Golightly

How do you wear a blouse?
Well don't write it off just yet - the black halter top I got fits very well and the strap sits nicely - the problem area on the white one is just around the side of the bust where the strap starts - it's really baggy - weird. I'm all about spending on the classics - a good bag/coat/scarf...- Miss Golightly

How do you wear a blouse?
I have the white blouse too Miss Sofia (great minds!) and I am not crazy about the fit on me - too baggy under the arm or something - just quite ill-fitting (I got one of their haltertops too and the neck strap was not well made and doesn't sit well on me - don't think I will be getting too much...- Miss Golightly

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Bus Stop - one of Marilyn's finest and most touching performances (the scene where Beau rips off her "tail" always gets to me) - makes you wonder what other great work she could have done had she lived longer. Insidious - Nothing I hadn't seen before but it was enjoyable enough with a few...- Miss Golightly
