A great source for period illustrations is Today's Inspiration. It features magazine and book illustrators mostly but its a lot of work from the early part of the 20th century, before photography became the go-to for magazine illustrations. Like this: and this If this is a look of...

I have the original 1950 kitchen in my home -- 60+ year-old ceramic tile counter tops, wood cabinets that have rusty hinges and warping from water and too many layers of paint. I would try to save them all but I know that if I want to resell the house, I need to "update" my kitchen for modern...

Those glasses are fabulous! NOS or retro inspired?

I found some good vintage-look shoes at, of all places, Aerosoles. and Both are on sale. There's also a great pair of pumps/court shoes too: I bought the first two designs and I can't wait for them to arrive.

I just got a great pair of sturdy oxfords. They are the Ugg Caelyn in chocolate. Crepe sole, leather shoe and there is sheepskin on the footbed under the toe area which helps keep my feet toasty. I've had them for about a month. They are breaking in well, the leather has some darker areas where...

I've been watching (and re-watching and re-watching) the Phryne Fisher Murder Mystery Series and she often dons trousers but its definitely in a provocative/bohemian look. They tend to be silky, almost pajama-like trousers. Beautiful but not at all the hard-working, hard-wearing gear of a...

Sorry to hear the quality of your saddle shoes weren't what you'd had in the past. I bought a pair of black-and-white saddles (Willits is the label) from Muffy's a few years back. The leather quality was good but there is a weird seam inside the shoe under the ball of my foot. I notice it most...

BAIT shoes are all vegan. In other words, they are non-leather. I had a pair of t-straps but they had were more for looks than long-wear and durability. Super cute but definitely not as long lasting as a good pair of leather shoes. But if you would prefer non-leather, they are a good option.

Great quote! I totally agree, Tomasso! I think Kate is beautiful and her clothing choices have been lovely and personal. I love her sailor dress, the yellow shirtdress and the military ensemble -- the addition of the shamrock pin made the outfit ever-so-slightly whimsical. She is not trying to...

As for Mexican Coke, I've heard it can be found at Costco. I haven't checked myself though.

I think Lizzie covered everything. Oh wait, did you mention "fast food"?

Very interesting. Thanks for the link!

A beautiful dress gave its life so that she may appear in Vogue. Imagine how much more glamorous Elletra would have seemed had she just shown up wearing the dress fully intact? "This old thing? I got in from Granny's attic!"

I hate to hear about the crappy reactions people have expressed towards lovelies like Tatum, Sweetheart of the Rodeo and Annie Pancake. I have had the urge to express my distaste for the poor showing certain "modern dressers" have made lately and imagine their feeling if I did. I had a...

Thanks for the link, Tomaaso! I love those Christian Dior cat eye glasses!
