    Best beauty decision you've made?

    For me it would definitely be making the choice to wear red lipstick everyday- or nearly everyday. My confidence has soared, other people treat me with more respect etc

    Navy Purse- What do you go with?!

    Ah, my dears! I did it again- thought I bought a really swell black purse only to get home and realise that it's navy. Fair enough, I still want to wear it, but as I wear a lot of black half my wardrobe is out. What can you combine navy with without making it look clashing? p.s. Hope...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    In a vintage shop today. "Look at you, the 40s really suit you!" Somehow it's even better when the person even knows what they're talking about.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I absolutely loved it. Hepburn is so, so charming. Like you said, it's really interesting to see how it's more "seriously mocking" the upper classes than Bringing Up Baby, which I'd call right out screw ball comedy.

    Where were you 50 years ago when JFK was shot

    Like some others neither I, nor my parents, had been born yet. This thread has been so fascinating to read though! It makes me really sad that we really are slowly losing these links to the past. I can't believe that I didn't pester my great grandmother, aka the woman who raised me, more about...

    Working Out Killing My Hourglass Physique

    Another update: Going to the university gym quite regularly now which includes weight lifting in my regime. I've also taken a page out of Dita's book and started regular pilates. Things are looking pretty good. How's everyone else's fitness going? Also, how do you manage to keep a pin curl...

    Dita Von Teese

    Looks like the beauty book has been pushed back to January 2014. I've pre-ordered now because something that's been so long in the works must be pretty spectacular!

    Working Out Killing My Hourglass Physique

    Aww, thank you, that's very sweet of you to say! Quite funny to me when I think of how many times I drop out of dressing vintage for a week and then drop back in full force. Quick update from me: I'm still running on a semi-regular basis and doing yoga. I can't say I've noticed much of a...

    Is chivalry dead?

    I agree with this. Definitely don't mind it from some people- you can usually tell the intention by the tone, but the word is rather reminiscent of being told off as a child. In Germany if you called someone Fräulein these days I'm pretty you'd get slapped. That's one of those ultimate...

    Are you ever tired of explaining why you live or dress the way you do?

    Whenever I get the grandmother comment I say my thanks because "my grandmother was is one hell of a woman!" As for the sexual frustration comments, I rarely know what to say. I like to think that being comfortable wearing bold red lips and the likes actually signals a certain comfort with...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    My partner and I were sat in McDonalds today (shame on us). Me in a t-shirt with a 50s-esque skirt, my hair set and lipstick and her in her work uniform (t-shirt, jeans etc) with her hair in a pompadour as usual. A man was sat across from us and as we went to leave he said, "Excuse me, is this...

    Is chivalry dead?

    I don't think it's dead, but I do find it a bit dated to expect a man to do it. Common courtesy to me dictates whoever gets to the door first holds it open for those that follow- whether male, female or in between. I have this weird idea in my head that women are capable of doing anything that...

    Noooo clue! Unless...they were surfing (the original intention of UGGs, I believe, was to keep surfers feet warm post surf) and suffering from pneumonia.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Not gonna lie, I'm ridiculously proud of my pin curl set today! Flat pin curls everywhere, 6 standing ones at the top, fringe in two small foam rollers. The hair flower is from Claire Accessories. (Huge smile courtesy of listening to my partner's phone voice. Hilarious!)

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    Maybe so, but I was genuinely just happy to see myself with a tattoo and see that it didn't feel alien.

    Just went to the grocery store with pin curls under a scarf. Lots of, "Look at her!" and small children being pulled out of my way.

    skirt lengths?

    Bumping this back up after a little digging! I seem to have quite the opposite problem of the 5 foot 1 dames in this thread. While we share the same height anything much longer than an inch below the knee makes me look like a dwarf. People never notice when I'm dressed vintage but my skirts...
