    Garage Sale Score!!!

    Cute! Was the sale in San Rafael? All the garage sales I would go to in Marin were never very good, but they have awesome thrift stores. One of my favorites is Hospice Hodgepodge, its near Sol Food just off of 4th St. in San Rafael. I love going to garage sales in LA, my boyfriend and I...

    HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY to one and all.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day! This day always makes me miss living at home. My mom would throw an amazingly huge party every year and make corned beef, boiled potatoes, boiled cabbage, Irish soda bread -- it was so much fun. It's just not the same sitting alone in my apartment. At least I'm...

    What are you listening to?

    Most unfortunately I am currently listening to my Oceanography professor drone on about beaches. I'm reviewing the lectures that have been put online. I would much rather be listening to ANYTHING else right now!

    True Confessions: My Sordid String of Love Affairs

    I cannot get enough of Buster Keaton! Not very vintage, but I am absolutely in love with the rapper/actor T.I. He's the only current celeb I swoon over. He's so handsome.

    Maybe you were around back then?

    I have no idea about reincarnation, but I don't really believe time is all that linear. One explanation I have heard for ghosts that I really feel is completely plausible is that it is like two parallel time frames colliding. If an event, person or place has had an experience that was really...

    Vintage Sunglasses

    Nice glasses! My mom has some very old vintage sunglasses probably from the 20's. They belonged to some distant relative. They are very similar to the ones in the second photo, but have thinner wire arms and the shade things on the side are metal mesh (I can't tell from the photo what they...

    Let's Be Gorgeous!

    True, I have been hanging around too many catty girls lately! They are probably rubbing off on me! However, I am proud of my interests in music, cars, etc., no matter what, because they are part of what makes me unique. I'm very particular about the things I'm into, and I REALLY get into them...

    If You Could Meet The Original Owner

    My favorite dress right now is a hand-made late 30's frock that's absolutely gorgeous. I would love to ask the owner why they made it, why they chose the fabric, and how exciting it was when it was all finished. And when the first time they wore it out was. It seems like such a sweet, flirty...

    ouch!

    That's a good idea! I have so many different inserts and gel things and crazy stuff going on in my heels, plus band-aids all over my toes to prevent blisters (just in case!) that another thing can't hurt! My feet, flat as can be, are just not cut out for heels, or wedges sometimes even, but I...

    Anyone here own a vintage store?

    I started a thread kind of about this in the Observation Bar. I need to dig it up because I lost track of it during midterms and didn't get around to readidng all the responses. I think opening up any kind of store is much harder work and much more financially risky than people realize. If...

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    I want to see a picture too! I was watching what was described as a 40's playsuit on Ebay recently, but the prices have sky rocketed to $225 dollars! Judging from the photos of 40's two pieces in the other thread, I'm guessing that that's what it really is -- and why it's so gosh darn...

    Spring is almost here! What vintage items will you be wearing?

    I'm on the hunt for lots of light, airy late 30's style dresses with shorter skirts. Dresses are much easier for me in the summer than blouses and skirts. I'm also definitely searching for a cute 40's/50's playsuit for going to the beach. I'm not big on swimming in the ocean, so I think it...

    Unwanted attentions?

    I've had a few people pester me on AIM (they got my screename from my myspace) asking me to sell my used stockings to them. The weird thing is, on my myspace I have no mention of stockings and no photos of me in them. However, I do have a photo of me that includes bare feet (my avatar!), and so...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    I just bought this cute vintage wool/silk cardigan: Yay! I haven't been winning ANYTHING on Ebay lately, so I was quite happy to win this.

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Yeah, I think I'm just going to go for it too! In cotton, of course. I've been looking over the pattern and with the instructions it doesn't seem too much of a challenge. At least it will be a learning experience!

    Stocking sizing?

    Gosh, stockings are so confusing to me. I'm pretty short, 5'2", but have kind of long legs and big thighs (small calves though). I have size 6 feet and they are super narrow, but somehow I can fit a range of 8.5 to 10 Long! It drives me absolutely crazy how differently each brand is sized...

    Tummy control

    Pssh, I'm a believer that stockings look great on everyone, no matter what the body type! If you like 'em, wear 'em! Do you wear seamed stockings? The seam can make your legs look slimmer and longer. Even if they don't, not too many guys are into skinny lil chicken legs anyway, so be happy with...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I got a somewhat strange compliment from an older gentleman at the Goodwill this weekend. We started talking about some antique trunks they were selling. He then asked me if I wanted to act in movies, but I thought he just was asking if I liked movies, so I said yes. He said I would be...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Okay ladies, I'm gonna start my first real sewing project next week and I need your advice! I bought a pretty simple vintage slip pattern, it only consists of 3 pieces and only requires a few darts: Granted, I've never sewn from a pattern before, so I'm sure it'll still be hell! Also...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thanks so much for the tips! I actually fooled around with the mousse a bit more and got it to work out nicely! I think I was being a little too heavy handed before and it managed to weigh my hair down.
