    Favorite Vintage Perfumes

    Hello again, after a very long time away! I just graduated from high school, and I feel that it's time to find a somewhat more grown-up and classy perfume. I tried on Shalimar, but once I smelled it on me I realized that's my grandmother's signature scent and I'd feel strange wearing it...

    Summer Hats!

    I was thinking perhaps something more feminine, but I do really love mens' hats on women. I'll be sure to check it out!

    Summer Hats!

    So, once again it's heating up to an oppressive temperature here in central Florida (there is little transition from winter to summer here, really), and I'm left with a formidable collection of hats suitable for winter and formal occasions, but little in the way of light, summery fare . Are...

    Not trying to be cute, but...

    Though I am only in high school, I usually don't get "cute," surprisingly. I'm usually given "pretty" or "spiffy." Honestly, I prefer "spiffy"-- what a great word! Nonetheless, I really don't mind being called cute. I mean, I'm sixteen. I'm not exactly aiming for sexy.

    Forbidden items in my home...

    So, next up on my agenda is to come to all your houses in a Nazi uniform, waving a cigarette in the air and singing a medley of Lady Gaga's greatest hits.

    the morning routine

    Up at five, take out pin curls, get dressed, first cup of tea, do hair and makeup, pack lunch and make breakfast, make sure everything is in book bag, off to school at 6:45, have breakfast and second cup of tea in the car.

    This is a question for the gals....

    Well, the song would be anything. It doesn't matter. He would be tall, lanky, bespectacled, quiet, and a bit nervous. I've never gone for dashing, suave kind of guys. Plus, a ginger, and wearing something simple, but well-tailored.

    Can you help me date this item??

    Yes, I would certainly say the bowler is squarely in the 30s, but I'm not an expert on men's hats.

    Can you help me date this item??

    And finally (because you're probably getting sick of my ginormous hat pictures), my half-hat, which needs its netting replaced.

    Can you help me date this item??

    Here's my next hat, and I couldn't take a good picture of it for the life of me, but there's a tag about the size of my thumbnail that says "Adjustable head size."

    Can you help me date this item??

    Well, I went on vacation and brought back a truckload of hats (for about six bucks each, if you can believe it)! Sorry for so many pictures-- do you mind if I break them up into individual posts? First off, my Bavarian hat. I know Stassny is still around today, but I couldn't find anything...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Well, if you can even mention Bogie in a description of yourself, you've got something going there (hair or no)! Sorry, double post!

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    I find that I'm the spitting image of Gary Cooper :p Here's a better picture of my face, though it's my "Going to buy soap at the hardware store" look.

    The Good News Thread

    My great aunt has this gorgeous old piano in her basement that a lot of my family learned to play on. About 30 years ago, the sliding lid got stuck midway closed, but my uncle managed to finally fix it yesterday. Took him long enough!

    Where did your user name come from??

    "Rote Bänder" is german for "Red Ribbons." My family comes from a mainly German community in Iowa, and I usually wear a red ribbon in my hair.

    Childhood TV kiddie shows...

    Come to think of it, I stayed up all last night watching Wacky Races and Penelope Pitstop! Those were great ones.

    Etiquette question

    That's just terrible about the hat! But I actually like your red one the best-- it's lovely!

    When does the "Golden Era" start and end for you?

    For me, it starts at around 1925 and ends around approximately when the whole late 50s/"Mad Men" style that everyone seems to like these days sets in.

    Vintage recipies

    Here's my go-to cake for the lunchbox, since it doesn't need to be iced. It's a (Betty Crocker-approved) wartime recipe, so it's not insanely sweet, either. Try to scout out Florida oranges; I find them to be more flavorful (Perhaps I'm a little biased, though!). Sift together into a bowl: 2...
