Doctor Who, series 3, the tenth doctor. I have never seen Doctor Who before, but my 13-year old son expressed a wish to see it and now we are both hooked!

What lovely homes you have! Most of our furniture are vinatge and we are slowly pulling our home together to be a bit more thought through, even if we hop around a little through the ages from room to room. The bathroom is currently being re-done and will have a bit of an Art Deco flair to it...

I really like Rago 1361 but I also have a pull on girdle from Nylon Dreams that I love. It's very soft and not contricting at all, which is great ecpecially at certain times of the month.

I have posted a couple of bathing suggestions and recipes here: http://fortieswardrobe.blogspot.se/2012/02/take-bath-for-beauty.html Taken from a beauty book from 1946. We are currently getting our bathroom re-done. The former owners had destroyed the lovely 50's bathroom into something...

A Swedish point of view: My paternal grandparents who were firmly middle class got married in 1938. I have, for some reason, only seen pictures of my grandmother from the wedding and she wore white, with a veil and small crown. I assume my grandfather dressed to suit her. My maternal...

Thank you! Yes, I love them too! :)

It's such a huge difference, isn't it? I truly hated the scent when I was younger- I remember reading it was Marilyn Monroe's favourite and sniffed my Mum's bottle of EdT (She never wore it though) and recoiled. Nowadays I like both version, but the perfume is much more wearable to me...

We had a very low key wedding in June, a civil ceremony at Skansen, an out of doors museum in Stockholm and we didn't go out of the way to have a vintage wedding. But being true to our style, it turned into one anyway. A few more pictures here...

Well, this is a thread for ladies, so I thought just ladies then. :) Perhaps there is a thread for weddings somewhere...

Thank you! Perhaps it is because we didn't try to have a "vintage wedding", but dressed "as usual" albeit in our best. :) And I think my husband looked smashing: http://fortieswardrobe.blogspot.se/2012/06/reader-i-married-him.html

Well, I'm 42 and my blog started out just to have a home for my 1940's wardrobe building project. It has branched out a bit to be about everything 40's that interests me, but the core is my clothes. I never really thought about my age and being age appropiate- I make and buy the clothes I feel...

Thank you so much, everybody! :)
