    Mad Men

    I agree. And in comparing the two green dresses, the remake seems to be a bit sparse in the fabric overall, and the fabric looks a bit thin. Looking at Joan in the dress, I see a lot of fabric gathered in lots of places and it makes the dress look sumptuous. And heads up ladies! It seems SHE...

    Mad Men

    It's funny you mention that - I think I read somewhere that the red blouse outfit in that picture was just a modern raw silk skirt and a wraparound top that she pinned in place. Now I'm hunting high and low for a similar top I can do that with. :-) Although, SHE by Cindy has a requests link...

    Mad Men

    I'm excited that some specifically Mad Men inspired dresses are already available online. I think Banana Republic had a Mad Men line, but it seemed too watered down to really be vintage to me. PinUp Girl has a few Mad Men inspired things. I have yet to order from them so I'm not sure about the...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Tarte Just wanted to chime in on the lipstain part of this thread - I've been trying the Tarte lipstain lately in Fiery matte. I was hoping this would be a nice toned down red for days I don't want to go full on vintage. But I'm a bit underwhelmed. The colors are nice and it does deliver on...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Hi to you too! I'm sure we'll run into to each other at Trashy Diva sometime. ;-)

    Trashy Diva

    I cannot say enough good things about Trashy Diva. The designs are lovely, the service is great, and the stores are gorgeous. I try to visit all their shops once a week, since they are getting their holiday items now. One bit of advice though - if ordering online without trying them on...

    The Vintage Fur Thread

    Nutria Interesting that this thread popped up. I read this link a while back regarding using nutria fur, and thought it was a bit of a silly article since all nutria fur clothing I've ever seen are still trimmed with other things like mink and fox. But this weekend, I met a lady at a...

    Best Mascara (for vintage looks)?

    It may seem silly to spend money on mascara, but I love DiorShow Waterproof mascara. I've tried so many different brands and wands and I get so much more use out of one bottle of this stuff since other cheaper brands seem to dry out on me faster and they go on wither too cakey and sticky or to...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I really don't understand people making horrible, negative comments about how anyone dresses, no matter how that is. Whatever happened to the idea of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it"? I usually feel like retorting, "It's their body and they're the ones wearing it - what...

    Anyone else ever feel like this?

    I can absolutely relate to this. On the days that I don't muster up the effort to dress nicely, I feel and look like such a schlump and it bothers me because I don't feel like myself. And when I'm feeling blue *and* I'm schlumpy, I feel even worse. I am a big advocate of the "fake it till you...

    Recommended Vintage-esque Nail Polish

    Stumbled onto this swatching of the upcoming Illamasqua Viridian nail color. Done on Mizz Worthy's blog. Gorgeous iridescent green. Never was tempted to have green nails before, but I gotta try this one.

    Do you go Commando?

    It's interesting how strongly people feel about this. Though I do believe more people go commando that most may think - just judging by a quick poll of my female and male friends. Personally I never wear underwear. Bras are necessary for support, but I just never saw the point of underwear -...

    Best HOT CURLERS/ROLLERS out on the market

    Swizzlers? Conair seems to be really running with this Hotsticks idea. Besides the HotSticks, I've found CandleSticks [ceramic jelly rollers] and now Swizzlers. The Swizzlers look interesting with the coils on them. And the Candlesticks seem cool since they come with clips. I hadn't had...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    Oh YAY! They have the Union Jack shirt I've been looking for. I saw it on a pin-up picture and have been salivating over it. The clothes on their site look yummy. How's the quality? Good, solid workmanship that can stand up to everyday wear? ~jillybean

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    Oh phooey. I hate when that happens...it's like ordering from ModCloth. At times they have really cute vintage-inspired dresses, but sadly super short. I guess that's the modern spin they add to it. Anyhoo, happy to help, and I'm glad they wrote back. :-)

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Gah! What am amazing shoe storage idea! I'm stealing it... And of course, with a shoe wardrobe like that, I obviously have to shop to fill it with the same amount of fabulous shoes. ::wink::

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    I've tried this on in several of their patterns, and I'm a 6 in their sizing. The dress falls slightly above my knees. I'm 5'5", if that helps. :-) I am on my way there for a visit, so I can measure the skirt from waist to hem, if you'd like. It is a lovely dress and very comfortable. Though it...

    Best primer for oily skin?

    Milk of Magnesia Has anyone tried using Milk of Magnesia as a primer for truly oily skin, or truly oily patches? I've been told it's an amazing holy grail product as a mattifying primer. Have also been warned that it is only for really oily spots otherwise the skin will suffer, and to only...

    Hair rats

    I'm attempting to make my first hair rat from my own hair, collecting it in a ziplock bag from my brushes. Surprised I'm not grossed out by it but we'll see if I make it all the way to actually creating the hair rat. Using fake hair is a good alternative though. It's not too hard to find fake...
