    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I just bought the Revlon Super Lustrous in "Fire and Ice" a couple of weeks ago, and it's quickly becoming my go-to daytime lipstick. It's a tad on the orange/coral side, but again, for daytime it's a nice step down from the rather dramatic blue-based reds I usually favor.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    deleteduser, if you do order them, I'd love it if you could report back how you like them! Once I've accumulated a few paychecks this summer I think I'm going to order some.

    Can you help me date this item??

    Thank you Marla! I doubt other beach goers will agree, but that's OK lol.

    Changing a Look

    I guess I'm the polar opposite: I've always loved the innocent, dreamy dresses and aesthetics of the 1910s, 1920s, and 1950s. It was only this winter that I bought my first black dress, and now I have four, all from the 1930s and 40s... much more art deco and femme fatale (respectively) than...

    Can you help me date this item??

    Thanks Miss Sofia! "Hiding it's light under a bushel" is such an apt description for all those crumpled, neglected vintage pieces that just need a little lovin' to look spiffy again :)

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    OK, I am not a big fan of Forever 21 for a million reasons... but these are so cute, and just $22! ...link... Also, color me prematurely elderly, but I am in love with all these Amerimark shoes! I spy a very 1930s vibe here. I imagine they're quite comfy as well.

    Can you help me date this item??

    Thanks for the help Lauren!! I was hoping against hope I might have some really early gems tucked in there :D The green thing is listed as a "pantsuit", so it has two legs... 30s pajamas of some sort I'm hoping!!

    Help me accessorize this Outfit!

    Well, Matchy-matchy is my specialty lol, so I suppose I'm a bit biased... but I think the teal t-bars sound adorable and I'd go for it! Drappa's idea for white or lemon shoes also sounds divine.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I don't know if that's real suede, but I throw my Keds (and any canvas sneaker) in the washing machine.

    Show us your hair do's....

    SiobhanJulia, your hair is too cute!! Oh, and welcome to the Lounge : ) Nosferaturoams, your hair is so darling as well! I'm loving the new influx of young ladies! That sounds really creepy lol, but what I mean is that it's great to see other girls my age rocking such amazing vintage hairstyles!

    Can you help me date this item??

    I just took a chance on this mixed lot on eBay. It said 40s and 50s, but I'm thinking that lilac dress may be 30s, and the green jumpsuit thing just might be a pair of 30s beach pajamas? A lot of the pieces are a little strange (in a good way-- I think!), so I'd love it if someone with a more...

    The Stocking Curse.....

    I know what you mean! There was a time when they only came out for special occasions, but now I can't imagine leaving the house without some seamed stockings anchored to my garter belt. I do wear tights a lot in the winter, as it's so cold, but I feel really frumpy and weird in them now. To save...

    Bar soaps

    Hmm, I assumed it was discontinued because it was removed from the C&E website; I dearly hope they still have it at my local C&E outlet store! I hope you like it as much as I do; it's the loveliest face soap I've ever found. I have combination skin (oily forehead/dry cheeks) and this is soothing...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Amie, yes, I have lots of handmade things! I even have one adorable 1900s or 1910s nightgown with initials carefully sewn in. I actually didn't start buying things with labels 'til fairly recently; I think it might have to do with living in a rural area, where there were more isolated farm...

    Bar soaps

    Sheeplady, I love Dr Bronner's liquid peppermint soap too! A quick wash with that, followed by a dab of witch hazel, is my summer cool-down ritual. Amazing stuff. For bar soaps, I was a big fan of Crabtree and Evelyn's rosewater and coldcream triple-milled soap bars (that's a mouthful!), but...

    Back to zits

    I use Dr Bronner's for my face as well; unfortunately I can't use it in the winter, as it makes my skin all rough and dry, but in the summer it's a godsend (especially the peppermint kind: it's really cooling!). So just a warning, it will suck away your oiliness, but use it sparingly on your...

    How do you ladies wear your hair at work when you have plans for that evening?

    Oh, I know the situation too well; I have horses and farm chores to take care of, which can be tricky business when I'm trying to preserve a set for something in the evening. Like Frenchy56 and Miss Sofia said, a pretty vintage silk scarf is quite a chic look, especially if you tie it more like...

    The Vintage Fur Thread

    I adore this!! Next winter I'm going to try and get myself a faux fur with a face; I love my vintage real furs, but the ones with faces and feet are a bit too disconcerting for me. This site makes cute faux furs of all kinds, including these adorable mink stoles...

    KitFrances, seriously gorgeous gown!! I hope you can sort the fabric issues out, but what a stunner nevertheless!
