    Ladies in Vintage Jodhpurs and breeches

    My breeches fit great. I need to take a picture. Anyway, I'm pretty short- 5' and I was worried they'd be too long, but they hit lower calf area. The one thing I can think of that you might want to check is if there is an inside knee patch area? Not sure if it has a name. But mine hit in the...

    Australia (2008)

    We thought it was great! I want Nicole's outfits to go adventuring! It was very entertaining throughout the whole movie, great story, casting. Te little boy is really good too. My only complaint would be the CGI. I wish they'd do some things the old fashioned way. But I'd definitely see it on...

    Vintage Manicures

    I always thought it peeled off because of the oils in your nails? But if you are washing ahead of time- I don't know. My nails hate polish. I've tried all kinds of bases, etc and it just makes my nails really brittle. I wore polish in Sept for about 5 days and I am still dealing with it-ugh.

    Ode to a hot water bottle.

    When I went to Ireland, the lady at the B&B left one for me. I didn't know what is was for-lol. When I asked, she looked at me like I was crazy, but I was like- I live in Texas! Although it does get chilly here at night, I might have to get one :)
