    I think I have Spring fever. The dresses are just calling my name this year. I've never had luck with vintage daywear,so I normally stick with a skirt/sweater combo. However,I'm seeing alot of retail these last few years that are really turning the vintage inspiration up on dresses...

Not very wordy,but it will have a strong focus on vintage and quirky anti-fashion.In other words,trends be...

    Youtube tutorial...

    Ladies, I have been thinking about posting a tutorial on youtube.I know there are a few that show victory rolls,so my thought is to show a basic hot roller set that is vintage in inspiration.Not perfectly authentic. Something that is easy to do yourself and will be a good foundation for...

Still,I'd like...

    I shouldn't have looked...

    at everyone's envy inspiring vintage hairstyles in the "SHow us your hairdo's" thread. I just cut my hair back off into a pixie and miss being able to get a true 40s look.(Of course if I'm honest with myself I know I don't really have the time.) You all look so lovely that I'm tempted to grow...

    Pencil skirts...

    I adore pencil skirts and love the look with a pretty feminine blouse and stockings with heels. What I'm unsure of is how to wear them more casually. I'm thinking of wearing one today with a boatneck sweater and ballet flats,but wonder if a flat is the wrong proportion. How do you dress them...

I...

    Classic wide leg pants?

    Ladies where have you had the best luck finding nice wide leg pants?Preferably new and in a store. I've seen some that look like they'll be perfect,but once they're on the look is more 70s than 40s. I'd like some for work once spring hits to wear with little puff sleeve blouses and wedges just...

    We just wait to see what the plan is and then split the holidays between my family and his.Which,usually consists of a nice dinner and visit that is fairly casual in attire.Though,a nice neat casual look seems to dominate. I also have a large group of girlfriends that instead of exchanging...

We are incorporating...

    Do you mix eras when dressing vintage?

    Since I've decided to grow my hair into a Louise Brooks bob,but realize that 1920s attire doesn't suit my figure it brought this question to my mind.The makeup of the 20s also suits me and my husband loves that smoky eye look for evening. For attire I stick with the 1940s and 1950s silhouttes...

    Motherhood & the Vintage Lifestyle

    I've been entranced by the look and lifestyle of past eras for the last 10 years,but now wonder how to fit my obsession into my new role as a mother. Hate to admit that with pregnancy I have pretty much given up the look for now.With morning sickness I no longer felt like setting my hair and...
