Oh my goodness, you ladies are wonderful! Seriously! I was so distressed that I'd never be able to achieve vintage hairstyles without having to straighten my hair first, but now I'm feeling a lot more hopeful! This weekend I'm going to purchase some foam rollers and a denman brush, as well as...

Hello my vintage ladies! I am in serious need of help. I have very curly hair, as you can see from my picture (link below) - my curls are very tightly coiled, which leaves me clueless as to how I can style my hair to resemble an authentic 40s or 50s look. I've read other posts on here about...

For sure! You're definitely not alone :) and yay! I am sure you'll look lovely! :)

You and I both! The last time I tried to sew something, the end result was pretty catastrophic :o lol I'm starting off with a modern vintage look too, just to ease my way in to feeling comfortable with such a different style than I'm used to wearing. I'm a little nervous about it, but like you...

Hello, I am new too! Welcome :)

@ Nikki Darling: Those dresses are so so cute! I especially love the cut and style of the first one! Good to know I'm not the only one new to vintage fashion and style :) I'm finding it to be a bit stressful to be honest, which is probably pathetic as it is only clothing after all :o but...

That website is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing :) hopefully I can find a few great pieces on there, as my wardrobe is currently in desperate need of some vintage goodies. As for the Anthropologie dress, I actually don't mind if other girls own it (I shop from ModCloth all the time, so...

You girls are great! Thanks for all the suggestions :) I am going to try out some of the sunscreens you all mentioned to see which works best for my skin. Thanks again! <3

Hi ladies! So I just might be the world's most indecisive shopper lol and figured since you're all so wonderfully stylish, you could help me out. I've been thinking of buying this dress: http://pinterest.com/pin/90635011221119571/ While I'm not too crazy about Taylor Swift, I love the way the...

Sorry for vanishing, I only just saw all these posts now :o It's so comforting to read through your comments, as I've been feeling a bit alone lately. I don't mind that my friends don't share my interests, each to their own, but I've just grown tired of forcing myself to go out and party with...

Hello darlings! Let me apologize in advance if this is a silly question, but I am absolutely clueless when it comes to sunscreen. For the longest while I have been back and forth reading reviews about which sunscreen is best to protect the face, but I only find myself more and more overwhelmed...

I've bought a couple dresses off Modcloth now, two of which are 100% polyester. It's weird because one of them wrinkles quite easily, yet the other doesn't whatsoever. Both dresses are quite different textures though, even though they're made of the same fabric, so perhaps that's why? I don't...

Thanks for the suggestions Wahine! Is it bad that I'm just looking for an excuse to buy more dresses and skirts to match my shoes? :$ And thank you Drappa, I love your purchases as well! Especially the gingham dress, very pretty! As for the skirt I bought off Modcloth, it's quite long (below...

Thanks :D I quite like them too! I'm not sure what I'll wear them with yet though. Any suggestions??

Aww :( lets trade? Really though, it's never too late to go back if you so wish!
