Vintage Bel Why did you start your blog? I started my blog when I began looking at others on the web. At the same time for university I was required to write one and so I looked into a few and found the great network of vintage bloggers (and food bloggers, and writers and ...). I thought...

If I put my hair in pin-curls and sleep with them in, I can be ready in 45 minutes. But I won't have had breakfast and then I'm horrible for the rest of the day! I find every morning I go to work, that I have to eat breakfast on the way to still leave on time. I don't think I'm high...

I'm about to finish my graduate degree in secondary music teaching. My day job is tutoring music students and conducting a few school bands.

My Coco Chanel Here is my girl: Coco Chanel

I'm a teacher and it is so true that children can be cruel. The latest one I had from a child, in a "meet the teachers" assembly, was "she look's freaky". And then afterwards I dream up all the things I would love to say back to this 8-year-old! :rolleyes:

Ladies, Thanks for all the great info. Collaroy Cinema is looking pretty thread-bare inside, which is a shame. The Orpheum is the only one keeping up the standard. I know that every few months they have a old movie/orchestra Sunday afternoon concert. For example, in February it's...

How exciting!!!!! We should go somewhere vintage like, Collaroy Cinemas or to the Orpheum. I don't really know of many other places that have that sort of a date or feel still. What do you think?lol

I'm in Sydney too! Hi, I have been wanting to ask this question myself. Thanks for doing it and to the others for their info. Where in Sydney are you? I'm on the Northern Beaches but there are not too many other vintage minded people around here! We she organise a drink somewhere...

Obsessed I know I sound like a crazy but I think you are so beautiful Johanna. Since finding all your pics I have tried your colour and set. However, living in Australia I don't think I will ever have anything like your skin. I also think that your home is lovely. I was thinking of...

SPF 55? Has anyone heard of this in Australia. I am after the beautiful pale skin you have all been talking about but with our whopping great hole in the ozone layer... I haven't seen SPF 55 anywhere but would love to know if anyone can tell me who makes it. Also have tried using...

Evening Ladies (it's cocktail hour in my apartment on a Friday), I have enjoyed reading theses discussion and wanted to join in! I wanted to wait until my uni was over for the semester otherwise would never have gotten my assignments done. Marzipan - I love your blog. I check so often I...

My grandparents were 18 (grandma) and 17 (grandpa). In Australia you have to be 18 (same to vote(, so my grandpa had to get special permission from someone. My parents were 21 (mum) and 23 (dad) but that didn't last. My mother has just gotten engaged and she turns 50 in January (sorry...

Hi, I am fascinated by all the people on this site, you are all amazing. I'm so excited to finally find a place where I can indulge my favorite things I'm from Sydney and have always loved vintage (especially the fifties). I'm a music teacher and I blame being brought up on Rodgers and...
