Grease
Just wanted to chime in: I LOVE Grease (see my username, though she's not my favourite character :D). Even though it may not be popular with vintage purists - even I know that the clothes and hair are a bit off at times! - it is an awesome, awesome film. I like to think it was responsible for...- Frenchy56

Slips!
I just bought my first ever slips this week and I love them! Don't think they're older than the 60s, and they're only nylon with lace panels, nothing too fancy, but I love them so much! They give me that same feeling of glamour and retro naughtiness that stockings do, whilst being more practical...- Frenchy56

Men's smart classic trousers, in the U.K., <£40/pair? help!
Thank you, everyone! Sorry about the terminology confusion, I'm not sure if I was using the term in its absolutely correct sense, but the kind of trousers you guys have been suggesting are exactly the kind I meant, so thank you! I have passed on your suggestions for approval :) The Charles...- Frenchy56

Men's smart classic trousers, in the U.K., <£40/pair? help!
Hello chaps, I hope it's okay for a lady to post here, also, if someone's answered my exact question please redirect me! On behalf of my fella, does anyone know of anywhere in the U.K. that sells good quality, classic smart or smart casual trousers, for less than £40 a pair? Very specific...- Frenchy56

I just bought two vintage pill box hats that will *hopefully* fit me... justified on the basis that all the vintage hats I've tried on seem very small, so hoping that these ones will sit right. Hope it's okay to post (dead) ebay links...- Frenchy56

Homemade Cosmetics
Awesome, so glad it worked for you! I just hope the almond oil is as good as the olive, but less cloggy to my razor. Also, apparently shaving with oils helps razor blades stay sharp- I seem to remember you telling me you shave with an old-style metal safety razor, so perhaps you will get the... -

Vintage Manicures
Thank you, thank you and thank you again for this! I was in love with the 40s-style mani when I saw it on here, but my shaky hands and bad coordination made me think it was forever off-limits... I am SO going to try this (along with doing one coat of white first to make the moons look even... -

Homemade Cosmetics
Thank you for your help! Thankfully, my head seems to have been less itchy, and the white flakes I complained about much less noticeable, since I started a) washing my hair more often; b) applying a light conditioner to my roots and scalp; and c) trying hard to keep the setting lotion away from... -

I just splurged on lots of vintage-esque (and possibly vintage) jewelry- I'd love to show you guys, but is there any way you can post pics without having an online account at photobucket, flickr, etc?- Frenchy56

Interesting article on disposable fashion
I fully understand and respect the concerns you guys have raised; I have to admit, though, that whilst I'm nowhere near as bad as I used to be, I do like Primark for accessories like belts, little earrings et cetera, and basics like tights, plain t-shirts, socks. I'd say about 75% of my wardrobe...- Frenchy56

Can anyone out there help a young girl who doesn't know what to do with her hair??
Just my two cents: I wouldn't really bother with a curling iron; I think it's very hard to get an accurate vintage look with one, plus on me the curls I get with one fall out very quickly. I have never tried hot rollers, but I know lots of ladies here recommend them- I think they might be the... -

'Snap-on' rollers? 'Magnetic' rollers? Please advise!
From the sound of it you might be using too much hair on one roller If you find that when you come to put the cover on your hair just spreads out everywhere and you end up with lots of it sticking out off the end of the roller, then you'using too wide a section of hair. That would also explain... -

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
As per other comments, I too recommend Maybelline's new Superstay lipstick in Red Passion! I only got it today (after reading numerous excellent reviews), so I haven't tested it for a whole day, but I can say that I ate dinner, drank, wiped my mouth etc, and it did. not. budge., or fade, or... -

Homemade Cosmetics
If I want to use extra virgin olive oil as a hair and scalp conditioner - in the hope that it will sort out my flaking and itchiness - how should I apply it? Before washing, on dry, dirty hair, then shampooing out? If I do this do I use conditioner too? After shampooing? My hair is not... -

How do you ladies wear your hair at work when you have plans for that evening?
Bandanas aren't so bad :p would you feel better in a nice silky scarf (vintage or otherwise)? They're a little bit more glam than a cotton bandana. Also, I don't know how new you are to this, but when I was starting out with the retro/vintage stuff I always swore I would never wear a... -

The DANDRUFF Thread
I washed my hair last night and I realised that I still have an itchy head and these white flakes (sorry, gross I know). Not as bad as when I've left my hair a few days though. Does this mean I just have a dry scalp? Surely if I had dandruff it wouldn't be showing up the morning after I wash my... -

The DANDRUFF Thread
This vinegar thing intrigues me, as I know vinegar is meant to make hair very shiny... what kind of vinegar do you recommend? What ratio water to vinegar would you use, and would you just put it on dry, dirty hair then shampoo out? -

The DANDRUFF Thread
Thank you for all the tips, everyone! I don't really want to try any kind of anti dandruff treatment as I think this is explicitly linked to leaving my hair too long between washing rather than any condition, it's only since I stopped washing my hair every few days that I've noticed this. Plus...
