What made me fall in love...
There is such a classic style to retro beauty. When I look at pics from high school, I think "What were they thinking? The hair? Why are her bangs standing straight up off the forehead?" Vintage style is timeless. Today, tomorrow, or 20 years from now, you will...
LOVE Bakelite..
Lady Day,
They dress clip is great! I've just started adding pencil sharpeners and other tools to my collection. My husband bought me a bakelite pencil sharpener this weekend, I'll post some pics tonight. The sharpener is a tank in pea green. You can see some of the star...
Heartbreak...
Naama,
The first heartbreak is always the hardest. Keep your friends and family close...they will help you heal. Remember that love will find you when you least expect it. When it does, don't be afraid to give your heart away.
My hubby got our tickets!
I'm VERY excited. Not only does it look like a great time, but it will be our first time in LA!
I think I know the dress I am making. I have had the pattern sitting for a number of years waiting for an occasion. I'll post a pic later today.
I'm actually Mrs Cowboy76,....
Not an aversion to spending, per say, but just a wise cautiousness and spendthift to some degree,....frugal.
We also have a dog with some stomach issues,....as you can imagine,..this does NOT help out the quest and certainly does affect what we're willing to...
In Philadelphia...
Capitol Grill (One of my favorites)
Barclay Prime (although Pricey, they give you your choice of steak knives)
The chains are alway good...Morton's, Smith & Wollensky, Ruths' Chris, Prime Rib, and Shula's
New Hope area...
Earl's Prime (in Lahaska/Peddlers Villiage)...
My favorites...
Sebastian: Blood Red
Laura Mercier: Pink Grape (really is red)
and believe it or not, Maybelline Superstay in Flame. My mother-in-law purchased it for herself, hated the color on her then gave it to me. It lasts through meals and isn't real heavy like the lipfinities of...
How long it takes to see results is really specific to each person. I have heard from people that the first time the tried it, they saw sebum plugs drawn out of their pores. I have never personally seen anything that dramatic. I did break out slightly when I first started using it but it...
WOW! What a flashback. I made this dress over five years ago. It was my first attempt at a dress after not having sewed since jr. high home economics! Needless to say I will not be posting any pics of that pitiful excuse of a dress, but I did recently pull the pattern to make another...
Also I think someone mentioned earlier in the post about overplucked eyebrows that aren't gowing back. There is a company that sells a serum which helps stimulate regrowth. Many women have had success getting overplucked brows back with it. I can't speak from experience...mine won't go away...
My favorite is the bare escentials liner shadow in Onyx. They also make a liner sealer called "weather everything" it makes the liner, waterproof and smudgeproof. It lasts all day and then some. Since it starts out as a powder, you control the amount of water that you add giving it anywhere...
I agree with Red, I would play around with coloring them in before you dye them.
My brows are a dark brown, not quite black, and I color my hair to almost the same color. My natural color is a medium to dark mousey brown. NOW if I was going red or auburn I agree with the other ladies to...
I wanted to officially say hello to everyone here. I have been visiting the FL neighborhood for sometime, and finally decided it was about time I move in. My hubby and I have been into everything 40s vintage for about 8 years. Its nice to have somewhere to share ideas, finds, styles, etc.
I have been using the OCM for a few months now...I use 50/50 castor oil and evoo, with a few drops of rosehip oil. After I massage it in, I place a hot washcloth over my face for a minute or so to open the pores and let the castor oil do it's thing, then wipe it off.
I went for a facial a...
