Help with nailing an era
Oh, well in that case. :p I see, but where on earth can I find out what she did to achieve that...? :confused: -
Help with nailing an era
Ah, yes. I'll have to experiment with different old-fashioned styles... Once I get one of those pin curl tools I'll man myself up enough to try some set patterns! But I do wonder, maybe my face just doesn't work with the 30's-50's period, if you look right simply with wavy hair. :p -
Ladies, what are you doing this evening?
Nothing wrong with having an evening routine, Stray Cat! That's scientifically proven to help you fall asleep faster! As for me I'm planning to roll my hair early, perhaps make some cheat-frico, and then watch the debate, as it's most likely going to be quite interesting today. Farmers are...- Nora

Help with nailing an era
So.. Following most of the tips here we end up with this.... Now, I tried makeup a couple of times, but with the little experience and few products I have, I went for a very authentic bare face... Now, with curly-wurly hair in some vaugely voctory-roll-ish pinned back shape, and freddies... -
Natural/Home remedies for super dry skin?
I always get super-dry hands during the winter. It used to be really annoying and painful, and nothing worked. Mum got me all sorts of hand creams, but it seemed to only make it worse, then when I was out of all other stuff, she gave me this mostly aloe-vera thing... and POOF! All gone, been all... -

How many products do you use?
I haven't quite gotten the hang of makeup yet so daily I... Erm... I use... Er... ...Tap water? -
Help with nailing an era
Oh my! Thanks a lot! That's very close to what I'm going for! I'll have to look closer at that blog. And it seems I'll have to pick up a pin curl tool the next time I go to Oslo. I usually roll my hair in these bendy sponge rollers, and it does help quite a lot, but I find it difficult to do... -
Help with nailing an era
Thanks! That is really helpful! I guess I'll have to hurry up and go find myself a foundation, then. I've been a bit perfectionist, so I have been sporting the bare-faced look, because I just couldn't get my makeup the way I wanted. Hopefully I should be able to do a daily makeup look I like... -
Vintage-Inspired clothing lines
Oh how lovely! Finally somewhere to get a coat that can stand a Norwegian winter! And the prices aren't too bad either, especially not if I can get myself on a Shopping trip over the border and sneak around the toll fees...- Nora

What would you call this garment?
I'm quite sure that my mother, back when she wore that sort of stuff (okay, she still sort of does, actually), would call that a coat. Then again, that's in Norway, but... In my head a cape does not have sleeves, if it has sleeves it's either a jacket or a coat of sorts. This one is long, thus...- Nora

Help with nailing an era
Ah, thanks a lot, that is very helpful! I'll keep it in mind! Do you think I should overdraw my top lip to get that hunter's bow shape, or would that just end up odd...? I've tried a couple of times, but I just can't seem to get it right without a lipliner... Oh my, it seems the pictures... -
Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)
Being new here, I realize that my voice probably doesn't matter much on this matter, (And it shouldn't) but I do find this a good idea. While it would be sad to lose input from a lot of nice members, I think it would be nice to have a place of peace and quiet, so to speak. It would however be...- Nora

Best vintage bag style for long commute on foot?
Leather satchels are awesome. I'm on the lookout for one. But, growing up in Norway, with a dad who grew up at a farm, I must tell you. Don't carry stuff in a satchel. You need a backpack. honestly. You do need a backpack. Your back and shoulders and all that. I've grown up with backpacks...- Nora

What is your setting lotion
I usually only use water, but once in a while I steal my mother's Define volume mousse. If I don't overdo it to the point of things getting crunchy the curl stays all day. Everything does however go straight the moment I touch it with a brush, and the increased ringlet forming does make it... -

Help with nailing an era
Hi there. I'm a bit new here, I've lurked around on and off for a while, but I might have missed a similar thread anyway. I apologize if it is so. Now, the thing is, I've fallen in love with the 40's pin up look. I've been trying for a while now to get it right, and I've probably read... -
What makeup are you wearing today?
None at all. I just can't do any makeup without me looking clownish and weird.... The few times it works my lips ruin it with their very non-40's shape... :c
