    What are you wearing today??

    Last weekend at the Hammersmith Vintage Fashion Fair in London. My friend requested I blocked her out. I'm wearing my favourite vintage dark green suit jacket made by 'The Denver', a black repro pencil skirt made to measure by TopRunway, vintage black suede shoes made by Brevitt and a little...

    Aging

    I'm with you GG - if looking smart makes you happy then dress smart. Equally, if not worrying about your clothes makes you happy then don't worry! Perhaps the reason some women become 'frumpy' as they get older is because their appearance isn't so important to them - they are freed from that...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    I have a lot of hair and it takes me about 45 mins. I use velcro rollers on top and pincurl the rest. I use the method Lollipop describes, being careful not to twist the hair as i wind it around my finger. My set isn't very exacting but I get a result I'm happy with :)

    Amazing Mary!!! That skirt is killer and the pose is spot on too. And what a fabulous sweater - I'm officially jealous!

    Joan Collins says British women have given up trying to look good.

    Can somebody please explain to me why people not dressing smartly is so fundamentally 'bad'? Are we attaching some kind of moral value to the act of putting on a suit or dress? One could argue that those of us who lavish time, money and attention on our appearances to quite the degree that most...

    It sure is! Especially if you have naturally bushy coarse hair - I long for glossy smooth curls and waves!

    What are you wearing today??

    This is actually a couple of weeks ago at the Lady Luck Club in London with Lyburnum (right) and Fleur De Guerre (centre). I'm on the left: The shirt is emerald green cotton and the skirt is a navy and white weave pencil skirt. I'm also wearing a black felt half hat that you cant quite see. I...

    My first decent set in a long while - I've been wearing it up every day for ages as it's down to my shoulders now and I struggle to get good curls when it's this long. I think I probably should have brushed the back for a little longer as it still looks quite fluffy.

    Are there ladies present who have non-retro bf's, husbands?

    Funnily enough, someone wrote an article about it: http://www.queensofvintage.com/how-to-survive-when-your-new-boyfriends-not-vintage

    I'm never really un-vintage these days but I used to be, so here I am about 10 years ago in one of my 'normal' phases!

    I'd suggest a smooth low chignon or bun. You could also try a horizontal back roll if your hair will hold it - as it's long I realise I may be too heavy and/or bulky. Whatever you do, keep it simple and let the hat take the style-strain!

    My Mother Says...

    My mother never really mentions what I wear - she doesn't believe in focusing on appearances or praising me for how I look rather than something I did. I know she's not keen on 50's styles as she was a child in the 50's and she remembers them as the clothes her mother made her wear. She became a...

    Bullet bra sizing

    I don't know of any repro companies but if you search for Figurette vintage bras they go down to a 28 back and up to, I think, an F cup.

    anyone wear grey hair?

    Grey and/or white hairs are often a different texture than your previous hair colour. Some people with naturally straight soft hair find that their greys are wiry and wavy - it's just the luck of the draw what you end up with, but dyeing and plucking won't make it any worse, although plucking is...

    Oh thank you! And thank you Laura as well! Funnily enough the same thing came up last week on another forum and I am floating on a cloud of chuffed-ness!
