Marks and Spencers has some really nice cropped trousers this year... you'd have to pay for shipping to America, but M&S are famous for good quality at a reasonable price. How about these? Or these have these in a few different patterns...

Retro GI Jane, I use MAC's Lipglass in Russian Red... it's sheer but not wishy-washy.

Thanks hon - your bracelet was actually involved in that ensemble, but you can't see it in the photos! Juliet, your hair looks GREAT... that style looks really good on you. I've never tried it because I'm scared I'll look like a poodle!

This thread makes me so jealous... one day maybe I'll live in one place for more than six months at a time and I'll be able to buy some of my own furniture and decorate! I would LOVE a dressing table... I hate standing up to do my make-up at my mirror.

That looks great! I WISH I could make my hair do that s-shape at the front, but I can't make my hair do that... how do you do it???

Isis - I love the braid. I want to try something like that, but the colours they have never match my hair!

My attempt at Betty Draper hair... You can read how I did it here, if you want!

I just posted a kind of tutorial - how I do my hair based on Betty Draper in Mad Men... check it out and let me know if you like it!

I've seen pictures of her before (in fact, I have that Vogue 'age' issue somewhere), but that was a really interesting article, thanks for posting!

Thank you for posting! She's so softly-spoken and polite, I wish more celebrities were like that!

What was this film, why isn't there more of it? Beautiful photos, thanks for posting!

That's exactly the one I meant, good one Bluebird Marsha!

You're welcome! I'm a student, I have to live vicariously!

Not pincurls, but I know Lisafreemontstreet has a couple of videos about getting this kind of hair on her YouTube channel... she does a sort of big fingerwave to get the front part of the hair to do that. Have a search and see if you can find it, I can't remember exactly what it's called. :(...

I translated Marlene Dietrich's recipe for Scrambled Eggs into English and tested it out... DELICIOUS. This post isn't even a self-plug, it's for the good of humanity - you need to make these eggs! Love, Emy xxx
