    1950's Wardrobe: The Basics

    Last night I remembered that I have a PDF of a 1959 Littlewoods catalogue so I had a look at the shoes pages for winter footwear inspiration. I don't have it with me at work but i will post it later tonight - lots of fur-lined booties!

    Summer hat suggestions?

    A straw platter or coolie hat is perfect for summer - but those are vintage, obviously.

    To wax or not to wax ????

    I tried that. Didn't work for me. Also tried InGrow-Go which didn't work either.

    To wax or not to wax ????

    Drappa, I do agree with you but I think that the difference is choice - we choose to wear make-up and set our hair. While there is immense amounts of pressure on girls and women to be pretty, not wearing make-up wouldn't get them shouted out in the street or assumed to be in some way...

    Show Us Your Tattoos

    This is really inspiring and SO beautiful. I adore 50s fabric and ceramics patterns and would love a tattoo based on some of my favourites. I don't want a 50s style tattoo - I want a tattoo of 50s styles! This kind of thing is my inspiration for the patterns: I...

    To wax or not to wax ????

    One of the great myths about waxing is that it is long-lasting. After a bikini wax I get 2 days smooth before it starts to grow back. Oh and then there's the in-growing hairs (Veronica this is the translation for your "embodied hair") and the itching as the hairs push back through the skin...

    The new Mullett

    Actual mullets were back-in in a big way about 8 years ago over here - but really only with the proper fashionistas. It made very pretty girls look like Nigel Tufnell. It seems to have died out again now thankfully.

    1950's Wardrobe: The Basics

    I've got some loafers with a thick crepe-like sole and I wear those in the winter sometimes. I think they are probably a little chunkier than what would actually have been worn but they are close enough. It is possible to get vintage overshoes - especially on Etsy. There is a thread about...

    1950's Wardrobe: The Basics

    Oxfords and other sturdy lace-ups, like Brogues, were still worn in the 50s. I've been trying to track down some winter boots with a low wedge heel like my granny wore for a couple of years now. I also second the loafers suggestion.

    Who is your role model on the lounge?

    AllAboutEve, Smuterella, FleurdeGuerre, ArtfulDodgette, Darhling, Lyburnum, Inkywine. OK - I'm just naming my friends, that isn't the same quite is it?! But I do have genuine admiration for Smuterella for how she handles herself both in real life and online.

    What Sort of Vintage Enthusiast Are You?

    I am mainly a 1. but am forced to be a bit of a 2. as well. I would wear entirely vintage if I could (or clothes made from vintage patterns with vintage fabric) - I have no icky feelings at all about used clothes, I've been wearing them since I was a kid growing up with hand-me-downs. I even...

    Edumication

    BA in Fine Art Photography. Totally the wrong degree - I should have done a technical photography course and then I might actually have been good enough to make a living out of it!
