    Style Me Vintage, May 1st!

    i had a suspicion that this would not be as good as Lauren's book. This just reaffirms my resolve to by Vintage Hairstyling soon.

    Show us your vintage hats!

    I have collected a whole bunch of cloche patterns over on Ravelry. Even though I don't collect 20s era fashions, I just love Louise Brooks' bobs and a lovely cloche. So stunning! (oh, just noticed the fabulous Pendleton that Winona Ryder is wearing with that cloche.. its giving me ideas!)

    What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?

    I have a similar experience to Bluestone120. My first TV memories are watching black and white shows like I Love Lucy. I loved The Patty Duke Show and Gidget. I got hand-me-down Barbies that were from the 50s with all the wonderful wiggle skirts and full crinoline dresses and elegant opera...

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    I just found a great rayon top in a ditzy floral at Forever 21 for about $18. It has a peter pan collar and a tie at the front. Not the best photo but you can see the collar and tie. Its paired with a mohair cardigan from H&M that had a high waistline ribbing. I have a swingy early 60s...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I finally had the out-and-out staring thing happen the other day. This mother with her young daughter just both stood their and gawped at me. I would not have minded if they had come over and asked me a question but they just stood and stared for a long time. So rude. And my outfit was so...

    The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread

    RE: woolens (cashmere, wool, mohair, etc) The rule to washing woolens these safely is to use the same temperature water to soak that you use to rinse. Cold to cold. Do not shock the fibers. DO NOT agitate. Soak. Remove from water and then refill with clean water to rinse. Do not ring out your...

    Everyday inspirations

    RodeoRose, I love your blog! Actually, I find all the blogs from Fedora Lounge members incredibly inspiring. I'm also inspired by old knitting patterns (and sewing patterns too but I don't know how to sew very well) and movies. I have to agree that just seeing how sloppy other people look when...

    Girly Laptop Cases?

    Puzzicato, the reviews I read said that the 14" Cambridge would comfortably hold a 13-14" laptop but not the wide screen MacBook Pro. I would rather have a smaller laptop but they give us the larger one for work and I have to schlep it back and forth a lot, sadly. So I will continue to hunt for...

    Girly Laptop Cases?

    I've been thinking about getting one of the classic Cambridge Satchel Company satchels for my work laptop. Has anyone ever had one? Do they age well? Patina? Large enough to hold a 15" MacBook Pro? (Pic from my blog: http://www.snowangels.com/sketchbook/?p=1470) I just found a review of both...

    Dressing vintage in the workplace

    I work for a company with a lot of creative employees, as well as business people and food service and everything in between. I have been continually upping my vintage look and the response has been very positive. Compared with the girls in form-fitting, designer jeans and 5" heels, I look...

    What Are You Reading

    I just started reading The Secret Lives of Dresses about a woman who inherits a vintage dress shop. I recently read A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff which was also about a vintage clothing store. Must be a trend!

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    These have been so fun to read. I love to hear that red lipstick, well-groomed eye brows, healthy eating and all the other things! For me, I think losing weight through exercise, finding a good moisturizer, filling in my eye brows, wearing red lipstick, buying hot rollers (which lead to pin...
