    Tips for that nostalgic true feminine smell..!

    I like Hermes "Jardin sur le nil." I do not own a bottle, but when I visit Sephora I always stop for a sniff. Here are the notes: Top Notes Green Mango, Grapefruit Middle Notes Calamus, Lotus Base Notes Sycamore, Frankincense Sigh. It just smells so good.

    Pale or Tan?

    Pale- I have the type of skin that gets blisters when I stay out in the sun too long, so I guess it made the decision for me. [huh]

    All Dolled-Up for the Holidays

    Helen Troy, I totally agree-- I love pleated pants and wish whole heartedly that they would come back in style... both for men and women!

    All Dolled-Up for the Holidays

    Haha! Yes, notice I said "kind of dress up." I guess that means that mostly only the gals dress up. The boys get "cleaned up," i.e., use a bar of soap and drag a comb through their hair. :D Happy birthday, if it is a party for your birthday imoldfashioned!

    All Dolled-Up for the Holidays

    What are all of you other gals out there doing for your holiday look? Every year we have Christmas dinner with the whole family and everyone gets kind of dressed up for the event. I have done a deep red pedicure and plan to do the nails as well, will have Rimmel "Scream" red lips, curled...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Second the Revlon Volcanic Red- it is a "softer" red and it is definitely one of my favorites as well. The new "nighttime" red that I found and love is Rimmel's Scream.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Jenny and Fleur, fantastic 'dos! I am almost on holiday, and I can't wait to have the extra time on my hands to try out a few new hairstyles. If I come up with anything worthy, I will try and post it! And about Nina, boy oh boy do I ever wish that I could have a hair appointment with her...

    vintage "tennis" shoes?

    I have always loved Keds, since I was a little girl! When I was in elementary school I would ONLY wear the black or navy and white bottom rimmed canvas ones.

    'Tis the season for dry hands and feet!

    PolkaDotMeggie, if you search for "lotion applicators" you should be able to find a tool specifically for the purpose of applying lotion to one's own back. I only know this because a Great Aunt of mine happened to always have one of these thingamajigs hanging in her (very retro) pink bathroom...

    What's On Your Vanity Table?....

    This thread has been so inspirational! I wish I had my own pictures to show, but unfortunately I haven't really got a collection of vanity items going yet. I am afraid that the best I could do is a vintage container of Coty face powder. :( I am on the hunt now though!

    'Tis the season for dry hands and feet!

    I use the Nivea Creme in the little blue tins-- I try to keep one in my purse for use after handwashing in public places. The handwashing is what seems to exacerbate my dryness, but I am not going to stop germ-busting! :rolleyes:

    Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for "minty" men's scents? My own man pretty much only likes scents like spearmint, Noxzema, etc. Does anything like this exist? PS- I do love the scent of Drakkar myself, but his sensitive sniffer vetoed that right away! :eusa_doh:

    Ladies! Where do you buy?

    I love that little silver tree CherryRed!

    Feeling Moody and Down? What do you do?

    I always pop in a David Suchet Poirot, or check and see if there are any good classic movies on TV, or go out and get a new conditioner or lippie, or call a friend. :rolleyes:

    Beowulf

    I went to see it in 3D, and I must say that I really liked the 3D part. However, I didn't think that the actual movie was that good... especially because I thought it was so violent. I kept grabbing at my boyfriend's arm and telling him that there was no way this could be PG-13! I do wish...

    What made you fall in love with retro beauty?

    I took piano lessons from an older woman at her home for many years. She had learned to play long ago and so almost all of the music that she had me play was her old music! She had travelled a lot when she was younger and her house was all decorated with her vintage mementos and lovely...

    Best hairpsray ?

    I have always liked the aerosol Aussie Scrunch spray, though I think that is mostly due to the fact that I LOVE the scent! [huh]

    Vaseline

    I have used it on my face in the wintertime, when I have windburn. It does not break me out, but then again my skin has always like oily stuff. I have found that I prefer putting Nivea cream on my face for windburn rather than Vaseline though, as it seems to soak in better and not be as shiny...

    Bandanas: Okay, or dorky?

    I like to wear a bandana tied around my head (in a cute way, I always thought) on very windy days or otherwise bad hair days. I was in bandana wearing oblivion, until one day last week a got pretty much made fun of by my teacher for wearing it. So, I ask you all here... does it look bad to...
