    This coat arrived today at last! I won it ages ago but it got a little delayed in transit. I know it's 60's really but it's going to look lovely (and quite 50's) with a pencil skirt and heels don't you think?!

    Awww man - thank you everybody! I think that last one was a hit! Such a shame that all I did that day was go to the corner shop for a pint of milk... ;)

    I think the brown looks lovely - really rich and chocolately - very chic!

    Oooh thanks kamikat - I'm going nuts experimenting with my hotsticks and remmington heated rollers this weekend - I am skint and it's the easter bank holiday here in the UK (4 days off work - yippee!) so I'm a bit bored... nothing to do but experiment with my hair! So here is another one:

    Hey cherry lips, thank you! No rolls at all, just sides pinned up and forwards and then my fringe curled and waved back over the top. I'm not much cop at rolls and always lose patience, plus my hair is completely different on each side of my head (different thicknes and texture and curliness) so...

    Hotsticks styling question

    Well I wind all the way to the scalp but when I secure the stick it drops a few 'rolls' down on most of them, but not all and I can't work out why! I'm going to have a go at Kitty's tip though and see if that helps. Any further advice would be welcome though - clearly you are the Mistress of...

    What and how to do with the sides of hair

    My quick fix suggestion is to take the sides and brush them back and upwards before pulling them up (and forward a bit) and pinning behind the front section (fringe/bangs if you have them) of your hair. A bit of height in the front section of your hair will hide the bobby pins/kirby grips from...

    Elderly Reactions To Vintage

    I guess, judging from the posts from other british members, that the british are less inclined to be so forthcoming with their comments! I get a lot of lingering (and sometimes confused!) looks from the older generation but rarely get any actual conversation. A bloke in his 50's did walk past me...

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    I know we aren't supposed to post live auctions but I hope it is ok for me to mention that there is a seller on ebay called blue*moon*vintage who is listing tons of great 40's patterns at the moment in a pretty wide range of sizes.

    Sorry to be a thread hog but I just tried out my hotsticks for the first time and got quite a nice wavy/curly do: Still struggling a bit with my growing-out fringe - it tends to go into a bit of an eighties flick at the moment...

    Hotsticks styling question

    Good tip Kitty - I'll try that! I've actually managed to get quite a nice do from my first try - with them being so hot it's really fast!

    Hotsticks styling question

    I'm just trying out my hotsticks for the first time and it's a struggle! It's difficult to get any uniformity as some of the sections hold close to the scalp and some drop down an inch or two after I secure them. Also, do you roll under or over? And when you secure how do you decide which way to...

    I love the look of the tweedy ones. I want a dark grey tweedy suit...

    What are you wearing today??

    Off for a long day at the munitions factory... (oh ok then, the design agency - it just doesn't sound as good!)

    I was quite pleased with this one this morning: Bit wonky but looked quite 40's.

    Haven't tried them yet - going to have a go tonight and I'm embarrassingly excited! That's good news if they are super-hot - should work really well on my stubborn hair! My hair is ALWAYS heat damaged - I used GHDs for years which just wreck hair like nothing else, so I figure heated rollers/hot...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    God yes, it is fabulous isn't it? The others are lovely shapes but the fabrics are a bit too modern-looking for me. More plain colours would be great.
