    Help a gal out - how can I "Vintage-ify" this dress?

    that dress looks wonderful on you, both with and without the overskirt! You're hair looks amazing as well - definitely deserved 1st place in my opinion :)

    Show us your vintage-vintage inspired Engagement Ring!

    Hi, I inherited these rings from my Nanna when she passed away. The story goes that during WW2 she replaced all of her jewelry with costume jewelry as they had very little money so we don't actually know whether or not the stones are real - however, in her jewelry box there was also another...

    Going vintage from a shaved head...

    Hi everyone :) Thought I'd do an update for you a few months on - I went back to my beloved red hair about a month ago - I wanted to leave it a while before colouring again so as not to completely ruin my hair (I dyed it several different colours in the lead up to the shave to raise more money)...

    What rouge do you use?

    I use MAC blush in Gingerly, I am pale but tend to blush naturally at the drop of a hat so it took me a while to find a colour that would help me to not look so "corpse-like" but which wouldn't clash or make me look sunburnt if I did happen to blush. I apply it after I've applied the rest of my...

    30s Secretaries Dressing Inspiration

    Ooh those photos are darling! I think Jitterbuggin or http://puttin-on-the-ritz.net/blouses/trip-up-the-nile-blouse.htm might have the sort of thing you're after - they have some lovely blouses although they are a little on the expensive side. Are you able to knit? if so there are some really...

    Working Out Killing My Hourglass Physique

    and I have to say to both Lenore and Sacred - both of you are absolutely gorgeous and I'm sure you could wear garbage bags and still look fabulous and vintage doing it :) I'm a little (a lot!) jealous of both of you every time i see your avatars :)

    Working Out Killing My Hourglass Physique

    I have the same problem as I row for my university, which means (in an ideal world) around 9 hours on the water a week, another hour or so on a rowing machine and weights twice a week! I'm not a strict hourglass at 37, 27, 37 and 5'7'' (wow thats a lot of 7s!)and I was definitely worried about...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I can verify that Ugg boots in Australia are purely for wearing inside the house when its cold. As Miss Sis said they're basically slippers. Up until recently unless you were just going outside to the get the paper, to the local shop for milk or were too hungover to care it wasn't really the...

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    Just got a new pair of glasses - I have astigmatism, am near sighted in my right eye and far sighted in my left...sigh! Unfortunately being poor in both time and money I needed to get a pair from the local optometrist that would be covered by my health fund so no real vintage glasses for me :( I...

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

    I definitely agree that the best idea is to wait until you're 100% sure what you want, I've known roughly what I wanted for a tattoo for the past 2 years (in terms of design) and have been working on a specific design with an artist friend of mine for the past year and a half - now it's finally...

    Henna hair dying

    I just dyed my hair with Lush's henna. My hair was bleached in march and they said there may be issues because of that so I used a mixture of rouge and marron first and then put rouge over the top of that. It's beautiful - like a really bright natural auburn which is actually pretty close to my...

    Young loungers

    In many cases, I actually have raided my grandma or my mother's wardrobe - I see nothing wrong with that :P Although, now that I have very short hair I am noticing I'm getting a lot more attention...apparently that's a step too far and Perth can't quite handle it.

    Young loungers

    Forgot to say - by far my favourite place to go out here is a place called Deville's Pad. It's not vintage per se - its set up like a Las Vegas club and is "hell" themed. But they have swing music (people often lindy-hop on the dance floor), the carpark is always full of hot rods and if you ask...

    Young loungers

    I'm 20. I started heading in the vintage direction when I was around 16 and looking for a style of my own in high school. I've always loved things that have a backstory, a history, I guess I'm just romantic like that :) I always loved jazz and swing and had a passion for old cars (my uncle...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    Thankfully I don't need to diet for weightloss as im happy where I am at but I did really need to improve on my health - note skinny does not equal healthy. I recently did an internship for 6 months and I was doing physical labour all day for the first time really and got a lot fitter and...
