I second Dansko -- I have a pair of black Dansko Professional closed-back clogs and adore them. They have no-slip bottoms, which certainly helps. I have to visit a chiropractor regularly for lower back pain and have had surgery before on one foot...it's no fun to admit, but a good, sturdy...

I have very oily skin and use MAC Prep + Prime Face, though it does have silicone. However, they do have a Prep + Prime transparent powder for setting/priming. Perhaps that doesn't have silicone?

How about an 'Evelyn'? :) That really is a big compliment -- thank you kindly!

Woo I need a cold drink. This is 78 pages of eye candy! You gals have some taste, let me tell you what ;) Now...back to trolling...

What an interesting read! I too really love the smell, but because my dad wore it, too, and I'm nostalgic like that...but absolutely a no-no for my hubs to ever wear. That just would freak me out. My grandpa once bought some Eternity for Men and I made a bit of a face when I went to give him a...

My husband likes the Calvin Klein brand. Nordstrom and Macy's should both have them. They're a bit pricey, but he likes them for better dressed-up days because they fit well and seem to hold up. Good luck!

Thank you all very much for the tips! I thought about getting some of that shoe stretching spray, but it sounds like I can give the water/alcohol combo a try! Also going to keep my eyes open for the foam, since I've never heard of that before. Fingers crossed I can find a cobbler! Otherwise...

So dismayed...I won a vintage pair of black and white saddles on EB the other day and, while the length fits, they are too snug at the width, right at the top of the black saddle. Tried my first round of alcohol and a broom handle to work some ease in, but still not getting the results I want...

:o Thanks, Diva! You just made my day! I think I'll go back to that avatar when August is up...I like to drag out the birthday celebrations the whole month haha

Me, too! So wrong...She SAT on her own head. That's just weird lol

Every one of you ladies look stunning. Honestly, this thread couldn't have been read at a better time in my life. You've inspired me to stop feeling so sorry for myself, being so lazy, begin taking better care of myself, and adding a bit of care into my everyday looks. Though I don't don the...

Oh I know, isn't it a bear? Petite trousers that still need hemming are maddening! I'm barely 5'1" on a good day. My mom is shorter than I, so I knew I was in for it when I stopped growing taller at 12. I rather like it now, though :)

Thanks for the link...so many darling fabrics! Bozeman's such a pretty town. I visited there once 13 years ago and have always wanted to go back.

I'd love to find a few good sweaters, too Diva. I've had enough of the pilly, ill-fitting few I have. Also, I've started looking through all my patterns to make a few good skirts, too, and am considering a pair or two of trousers (though I've never made a trouser, so it could be an adventure.)...

Just the other day, I got this cutie (my size and 2 cute dresses for one money? I'm pleased as punch!) (*edited to get the image to properly embed!)
