    Cash or debit card?

    I always use my debit card, which is probably a bad thing. Luckily I've never even come close to overdrawing my account, but I tend to spend a little more than I want to when I go shopping with my debit card. It's the "out of sight, out of mind" mentality with my bank account. If I had cash I...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Jitterbugdoll, you are just darling in that hat and dress! Today I went to the Remix store and wasn't really planning on buying anything, but once I started looking at all of the shoes I couldn't help myself. Plus, the guy working there (probably the owner?) gave me a fabulous deal I couldn't...

    Let's Be Gorgeous!

    Oh goodness, I wish I had as much confidence as you all do! I go through phases where sometimes I'm down in the dumps about my appearance (like right now) and sometimes I'm totally happy. But, to stay away from the negative, I will say my best features (or the ones that get the most comments...

    What's your 'couple' song

    Oh gosh, all the possible "couple songs" I can think of between my boyfriend and I are 80's songs! I guess the main one is "Anything, Anything" by Dramarama. The lyrics are totally depressing though. The first song we ever listened to together, which I think qualifies as a couple song, is...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Daisy, I usually just use hot rollers because those work fine for me (or a curling iron), because my hair responds to heat really well. But the convenience of just waking up in the morning and taking my hair out of the curlers and being ready to go (plus...

    Quick, low maitenece retro eye look for sensetive eyes

    I'm really, really stupid when it comes to eye makeup. I just wear a little bit of Benefit High Beam (a sheer, pale pink shimmer) and mascara (just cos my black eyebrows get all dusty from my face powder). I've fooled around with liquid liner before, but I have no idea what style to do it in...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Fleur, I used your tutorial and my hair turned out just lovely today! Unfortunately, it didn't last as long as I wanted too. What hairspray do you ladies use to keep your curls in, but without them being crunchy or frizzy? When I used to wear my hair in a bouffant everyday I would use...

    Estate sales, what to pay?

    You can also find estate sales at craigslist.com or free little newspapers like the Pennysaver. That's where I find the ones I've been to.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Welcome Siobahn! I spent two summers in Ireland, and they taught us some gaelic, but all I can remember is the word 'craic'! Oh well! :)

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    The only negative comment I can recall getting (aside from creepy comments by leering men) was actually really recently. And yes, it was from a fellow female! I'm only a student worker at my job, while she's full time staff, so I'm already somewhat intimidated by her. I was wearing a...

    Is anyone big on wearing clothing from the 1920's...or 1930's?

    Your band sounds kind of like my friend's! They used to have a myspace, I think, but now it's no longer, probably since they graduated high school last year and all went off to separate colleges. It was two guys (who both sang), one on guitar, one on banjo, a female drummer and a female singer...

    Show us your hair do's....

    So pretty Fleur! How did you do it? I can kinda get that look with my hot sticks but I can't get them that soft and smooth looking (my thick hair sticks to the rubber on the hot sticks making it frizzier). Any tips?

    Post Your Favorite Vintage Car

    I have TONS of favorite cars, 1959 being one of my favorite years. But this is definitely up there because it's so rare, a 1956 Dodge La Femme: It was marketed for women and came with an umbrella and lipstick, I believe. And the interior housed all these little compartments for storing...

    Is anyone big on wearing clothing from the 1920's...or 1930's?

    I love your aesthetic Marquise!! You're absolutely gorgeous and have such a lovely style. Do you have a myspace for your band or some other way we can listen to your music? It sounds just up my alley!

    Oh my goodness, where is this Bobby?! I will fly out there just to get at those shoes! I am one of the lucky few with freakishly narrow small feet!

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Lizzie, that has got to be the cutest story ever! I usually get a lot of nice compliments on how I look like Bettie Page, or whatever vintage pin-up or movie star jumps into peoples' minds. And then I get a lot of bizarre questions like, "Are you representing the 60's?". And once a...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Those Boulevard shoes are too cute. I think they have a store in Hollywood so I might take a trip over there next weekend to try them on. I have very narrow, flat feet, so I always have to try things on. I have the Capri wedges though and I just love them. People often think they are actually...

    Help me mourn the loss of my 1930's vanity

    Aww, that's such a shame that you had to part ways with it. I've been fantasizing lately about owning a home with enough space for a vanity. What a beautiful piece!

    Swing Dancing

    It sounds like so much fun! I know my boyfriend and a girlfriend of mine would love to take classes with me, but none of us have gotten our act together yet and actually signed up. I would love to take lindy classes, but I hear it's pretty difficult (mind you, I have two left feet!). So which...

    How to treat a lady...?

    Oh goodness, for awhile I thought my boyfriend fell into the "too nice" category. It was during the beginning of our relationship, but niceness wasn't the problem. It was more like "smothering" and, like Beaucaillou said, "spineless". However, I was also getting used to being my first...
