    Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen!

    Great thread! I wear a cheap Tesco brand SPF50 in the summer but find it rather greasy to apply foundation over so suggestions will be gratefully received!

    Pillow-face

    Thanks Emer - I'll try this. My morning skincare routine is almost zero - I just splash water on my face and then apply moisturiser and primer before starting on the make-up. Part of the problem is that at 36 my skin is aging - I never had this problem in my twenties I'm sure! I also get...

    Pillow-face

    Yes, she did give me that tip but I'm not too keen on silk pillowcases and they are a little bit costly too. I was hoping for a more instant solution, such as a cold flannel or something!!

    Pillow-face

    Anyone got any tips for getting rid of imprints of pillow creases in the face in the morning?! I seem to be getting them a lot at the moment and they don't go by the time I leave the house! Anyone know how to get them to 'pop out' a bit quicker?

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    Cherry I know exactly what you mean about looking like a first lady - I know that mine can end up looking a bit Margaret Thatcher when it's set in a more stiff way! I'd love to get those soft Marilyn curls but they always fall out if they aren't quite tight curls. Sometimes my hair is so coated...

    WANTED: Vintage Magazines (scans of)

    I'm working on the design of a new magazine focussing on all things vintage (still hush hush and in development at the mo but could turn out to be a big deal!) and I need some extra reference material for inspiration. I'm guessing there must be a fair few magazine collectors on here and I'm...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I had a day of amazing comments today - I'm feeling so good! I went to the Victoria and Albert Museum with my hairdresser, Nina, for the opening of the Stephen Jones hat exhibit (http://www.vam.ac.uk/microsites/hats-anthology/). I wore my nipped waist dark green wool jacket with a black wool...

    Thank you girls! Nina (my hairdresser) was very impressed. It just goes to show where practice gets you - this time last year I was still struggling with getting consistent curls and now I can do it every time! Hurrah! In fact, I might even go so far as to say that I liked my set today better...

    o0olibelulao0o - I can't believe how great your hair is for such an early attempt - you must have real natural flair for it. You're so lucky to have that natural gloss to it too. I was very pleased with my set today. I had a meeting with my hairdresser about doing some design work for her and...

    What a strange coincidence - in a design meeting I had today somebody got out a copy of the lingerie book from that series to show me!

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I've had some nice comments lately. I tend to dress in suits or skirts, blouses and cardigans and as I am in my mid-30's the effect can be a bit stern and formal in a modern context, but women often come up to me in the supermarket or shops to tell me they love my style. Last week in Sainsbury's...

    1950's Wardrobe: The Basics

    Living in London the weather isn't quite as extreme as that but I know what you're saying Kami! And the kids part - I can only imagine! That must be tough on your vintage wonders. Lucky you are such a great seamstress then :)

    I LOVE Rizzo's hair! That bad-girl short hair look rules the school :)

    1950's Wardrobe: The Basics

    I don't think it was the blackness that was an issue but whether or not it would be warm enough year round.

    Matchy-matchy or not so much-y?

    I don't like to overdo it - nothing looks more costumey than leopard print hat, gloves, bag, shoes and scarf! But black bag, gloves, shoes and hat is fine by me. I don't fret over it generally, but I can't bear clashing prints - floral blouse with herringbone trousers and gingham shoes!! That...

    At least a couple of weeks if you want to be able to pick and choose the time and date that'll suit you. Longer if you can.

    1950's Wardrobe: The Basics

    I have a black repro one from Vivien of Holloway that has been a real wardrobe staple the last couple of years - that was unlined and I could wear it any season really as it was mid-weight fabric. I've now expanded around the middle and hips and can't fit into it anymore and it's a long quest to...
