    How to get pale, luminous skin?

    I've always had problems getting a foundation pale enough, but last week the most fantastic new foundation was launched by, of all people, a member of a British pop group. I was so excited I ran down to the shop on the launch day last Friday and was not disapointed www.jellypongpong.com - the...

    I'm clearing out my shoe collection...

    Thank you. Its taken over a year to get to the photographing and putting them on ebay stage - its like I'm parting with family. Pathetic [huh] But there is never such thing as too many pairs of shoes :D

    Number of handbags and pairs of shoes?

    lol A woman after my own heart. I'm attempting to think out my shoe collection to those I actually can wear, as apposed to all those pairs I bought and kept despite the fact they don't fit because they're just so very pretty. Even post thinning, and callously binning those I've had for years...

    I'm clearing out my shoe collection...

    ...and finally parting with those shoes I adore but can't get my feet into. It pains me. I'm hoping that they go to a good new home (its insane how attached a girl can become to artfully arranged leather) hence me posting this here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmisskirstyw I'll be...

    Flying While Wearing Vintage

    I always beep, but I'm used to it. The only way I'd be able to dress without all of those little metal bits and bobs would be if I traveled in my pyjamas, and I'm not willing to make that sacrifice ;) The only thing I do leave of are hat pins. If they want to take away tweezers, I don't want to...

    TONS of 1930s Fashion Photos

    I'm a bit useless with the holywood aspect of things, but for the UK side of film making this book is fabulous. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shepperton-Babylon-Worlds-British-Cinema/dp/0571212972/ref=sr_1_2/026-6436497-3248458?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176661604&sr=1-2

    Am I BLUE...

    Chocolate. It sounds like you've had the same day as me, so this evening I came hope, put on my fluffy jammies, made myself something yummy for tea and then made white hot chocolate with milk and nice organic dark chocolate on the side. That and a nice early night will sort me out :)

    Spring is almost here! What vintage items will you be wearing?

    Those are some gorgeous skirts! This year I'm trying to be prepared. London doesn't normally get hot for more than a couple of days at a time, but last summer was unbearably hot almost none stop and I had nothing suitable.This year, I refuse to be caught out! Thus far all I have bought is...

    Festivals/Gigs what do I wear?

    I go to far too many gigs and never let that encourage me to dress down ;) Cotton dresses, cute flats for when it is dry and fun wellys for when its not. Capris and tied shirts are a favourite of my best friend. Hair up in rolls, snoods, headscarfs, pigtails and you are away. And I'm sure...

    Show us your hair do's....

    This is the exact problem I'm having too. I've let about 4 inches grow out (thankfully my hair grows quite quickly) but the grey is driving me insane, I look like pepe le pui! I've been going grey since I was 17, so I'm used to dying my hair constantly. I'm going from black to red, so my...
