Bahahah I always loved Olivia Newton John's character! But maybe that because I'm also an Aussie and I thought it would be so cool to move to the U and go to school there *sigh* :P Grease is one of the reasons I LOVE vintage! I've not seen Dirty Dancing, but I did catch the sequel (which is...

That's why I always check the finished measurements! It's amazing how much ease they put into a garment that is supposed to be quite fitted! I just finished one of the other Simplicity retro patterns, and they had added 4 inches too! I needed to go down a size to what I usually use!! But...

I will definitely post photos as soon as I find my camera cable!! I wanted to post photos the very evening I got it done (and washed out the hairdressers AWFUL attempt at curling), but my camera cable has gone walkies :( Though I might see if my other half can take some photos of my hair on his...

So after today, I'm even more convinced that blonde is not the way to go for me. I really do love the blonde wig on me, but I really do suit the dark hair better. Now that it's shorter, I can actually wear it out (before I'd always have at least the sides pinned up) so I have more hair around my...

Your hair look divine! and my word you bear a striking resemblance to my FAVOURITE Aussie actress, Miranda Otto! I love your hair colour!

Thanks Goldwyn girl! I just had my hair cut today actually! I'm going to take some time to get used to styling it, and then consider a colour. I had a bit of a chat to the hairdresser today, and she said that it would be difficult but doable. I just don't know if I'm quite ready to go that far...

I hope this is ok to post, but here is the seller. You might have to do a search through to see if he has any more listed though. He actually has quite a few nice vintagey pieces at pretty reasonable prices. Though he is based in Australia, so keep that in mind :D

Goldwyn Girl that is a most gorgeous dress! Woo! I finished my pencil skirt! :D I hope to wear it to work tomorrow, so I'll make sure my boy snaps a pic of me before I go to work so I can upload it. I hope to get a couple of dresses done today!

I have the opposite problem! Right now it's the middle of winter, and FREEZING! (I just moved from a very warm state with no winter to the mountains in a very cold freezing state :P) and all I can think of is pretty cotton dresses! I actually had to go and buy some wool from work so I could make...

So now that I'm working, I can finally afford a whole lot of things that I've been wanting for a while. So I went a bit crazy on Ebay... I swear it's addictive! Most recently I bought: This is the Australian Home Journal. It's a ladies mag that dates back to the 30's (I think, but possibly...

So I'm contemplating a BIIIIG change for my hair. In the past I've done it black; red black, blue black, even purple black. I've had bright red foils, and a bright red fringe. I've also done dark brown. But I'm itching for the two colours that I've always wanted but never been brave enough to...

KamiKat that is gorgeous!! such a great colour for you :D Well I've bought some wools from work, plus I have some stash fabric, so tomorrow I'm spending the day cutting out! I don't think I'll get any actual sewing done, but at least it's one step closer! My next day off is Monday, so...

Thanks Naama! I really do love the blonde, and I LOVE Marilyn! I'd be flattered to be thought of as her! I'll be talking to a hairdresser about doing it, but I know it will fry my hair. But that's also why I'm going to go short, so there's less of it to worry about! I'm hoping if I make sure I...

So here is my latest do.... Hahaha ok I WISH my hair was really like that! That's my Marilyn wig, and boy did I get TONS of compliments when I wore it! It was a bit of a test for me, for style (as I want to cut my hair short so I can do more 50's styles) but now it's got me wanting to go...
