Since I started wearing vintage, I gave up wearing jeans. I think the modern bleached / used look can't really be combined with vintage and I can't afford Freddies and the like. But - this year, unbleached denim has a comeback, and pretty high waisted, too! So I got these affordable capris and...- wahine

Thanks for the advice and for the picture, love your style! I had prescription glasses and wore a vintage butterfly model when I was a teenager. But since I didn't wear vintage clothes or hair, it looked sort of awkward. I still have the frame in my cupboard (a souvenir from Charleston, SC)... -

Thank you m_luvsartdeco. I love your glasses! do you wear them every day? I got the streaks on both sides. I once asked a hairdresser "how can I dye my hair but keep the grey?" She recommended a dye that would "cover all the grey hair". I repeated my question, but she just didn't understand... -
What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
My Week With Marilyn I enjoyed it, mainly for visual reasons. Also, Michelle Williams did a pretty good job in my opinion. I liked both Young Guns movies, too, btw. :D- wahine

Thank you Katinka! I gain more and more confidence in wearing vintage (inspired) clothing and hair on an every day basis. I'm ready for the next step which will be finding out how to do an appropriate make-up. That'll be a challenge for me... -

so many beautiful hairstyles on beautiful ladies, it's always fun to look at the pics. I tried sort of a front roll faux bang for the first time. I'm quite satisfied with it (a bit of a consolation for the not-so-good back) I love my grey hair, btw. Soon, I might look like this: a... -

I'm repeating myself but just have to say: Ladies, you are so inspiring! You're doing such wonderful jobs and some of you have such an enormous output. I usually only think about making this and that but hardly ever do. I should look at this thread more often, that might help :)- wahine

K.McG, what wonderful finds! I love esp. the hat! I've been looking for such a thing for ages, but never found one. I even tried to make one myself, don't ask about the results :D- wahine

I got a "new" sewing machine. Yay! :D Actually I was hoping to find an earlier model, but I gave up searching after a year or so. Just couldn't find an affordable well working electrified model earlier than this mail order "Privileg", supposedly from the early 80s (although I think it...- wahine

Welcome on board, Ariellah! Those earrings are very pretty (at first sight, I thought the angel is the earring, not the green rhinestones :eusa_doh:)! Is the dress of a similar color? ps. we don't care too much about picture copyright here, can't compare it to a regular German forum, so...- wahine

Thank you, Doctor Strange, I got quite a bit to read now! I wasn't serious about thinking it over. I will definitely try it, although I have quite a bit respect after having read the manual. I never thought of shutter speed, aperture, focal distance... before. I'm no numbers person, so it'll...- wahine

Lorelai99, yes it's typical. And, can you believe it, the next day I went to a second hand store where I also found a carton of stockings! Unfortunately the color of these wasn't really wearable. I haven't found any in years, and now two dozens in two days! I'm thinking of taking the "new new"...- wahine

It seems I understood you correctly, I just didn't put it well (language barrier). By "giving away the negatives" I didn't mean to get rid of them. What I meant is, developing the negatives myself, then give them to a drug store to get paper prints (and also get the negatives back!). Unless...- wahine

rjb1, thanks for your advice! So I won't bother with blue glasses so far. I already have been recommended to do my own developing. I'm not unwilling to, but I thought I'd only make sense if I also make my own paper prints which would be so much more effort. But if I understand you correctly...- wahine

I don't have any pics to post right now, but a question. Does any one of you know if it's true that you can judge better how b/w pictures will come out if you wear blue glasses (like Edith Head used to)? I'm planning to try some vintage photography with my grandpa's Leica and don't really have...- wahine

Nothing to post a pic of: On Wednesday, I bought some not so cheap modern elastic stockings because I couldn't find any others (hard to get nice affordable stockings these days). On Thursday, I went to the thrift store - there I found 14 (!) pairs of vintage stockings, probably from the 70s, 50...- wahine

Like these? They're not really Egyptian inspired, Mucha called them "tetes byzantines" Here's Mucha's Cleopatra (which isn't really a lot more Egyptian than the above): Some more Tutmaniac inspirations:- wahine
