My boyfriend loved Black & White, but found it to be expensive. I'm sure it can be had cheaper online though.
He uses Murray's, even though he's convinced it's making his hair fall out (I'm sure it's not). He uses a lot less than he used to though, he would go through one tin every 3-4 weeks...
I've DEFINITELY gotten lucky at thrift stores! Usually not in LA ones though, they've been pretty picked over. However back up north, I've gotten a few cute 50's beaded cardigans (the types that usually sell for over $50 in vintage shops!), and though they aren't top of the line condition, they...
That bat story is great! It reminds me of when a gigantic owl once flew down our chimney into our living room and began knocking everything over. Luckily, the animal control came in a timely manner, I don't think we could have handled that by ourselves!
I've spent upwards of $70 regularly on vintage dresses before. It's kind of ridiculous, but to me, when I fall in love with something, I just have to have it.
And in LA, for some mysterious reason, the only "vintage" one can find is from the 60's and 70's, save for a handful of shops. I have...
I noticed some auctions with the lovely title "BIG WEY PU**Y" in the vintage section that looked like they were trying to steal passwords (redirects you to a My Ebay page that seemed fake). I think the "auctions" are taken down now, but I just wanted to warn anyone who, like me, cannot help but...
I have a pair of shoes that I'm not 100% sure on their age. I'm guessing early 30's perhaps, so those would be my earliest piece of vintage. As for accessories though, I have some vanity stuff and a cardboard box of powder from the 1920's or earlier. Clothing from those eras aren't really...
Those are so cute!
I have screw-on earrings like that (biplanes I think? maybe WWII-era) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get them to stay on. Maybe me earlobes are too weird. Is there a trick to them?
Ooh Daisy, everything is so cute! How do you always find the most darling things? I especially LOVE the red & leopard print dress, I'm a fiend for leopard!!
Certain scenes of The Nortorious Bettie Page pulled off the old look of early color films very nicely. I heard they used 1950's equipment for those scenes, which obviously helped!
When I was in high school I used to go to a deli with my friends everyday for lunch and it got to the point where the man who owned the place knew what I would order and would give me and all of my friends a 15% discount.
Now the only place I regularly visit is the Coffee Bean right near my...
Ooh, everyone has been buying such cute stuff!
I just bought these 2 1930's blouses:
They aren't in the best condition, but I thought the green one was too cute, plus they were really cheap. I can make it work!
The squirrels at UCLA. There has been more than one time that someone has had to warn me to watch out, and when I turn my head to see what they are talking about I am nose to nose with an evil little furball trying to steal my muffin. Those beasts aren't afraid of anything! I also saw one try to...
I'm going home next week so I'm definitely going to be going to all those places. Salvation Army isn't as good as it used to be though, before they renovated it!
I got mega thrifting skills from skipping class with friends and going to all those places! I haven't thrifted in forever though...
My boyfriend was already getting antsy for issue #2 awhile ago. It needs to come out ASAP, he's becoming a slacker with his style (horrible stubble! messy hair! ill-fitting clothes!), and the first issue of Classic Style whipped him into shape in seconds. He needs to be re-inspired!
Daisy, I love going to the beauty supply! I feel like a kid in a candy shop. I'm in love with the myriad of cheap, but good, products they always have. I need to get my hands on some rats! How are they working out for you? What styles are you going to use them for?
