    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I just won these a few minutes ago. They were made in the 70s or later but I think I can make them work for late 40s and 50s styles. I hope they fit!

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    There´s hating about FLers on Facebook? How ridiculous is that? :D

    Great set of stree scenes from the early fifties

    I find it hard to believe that noone knew about Vivian Mayers talent before her death. She was such a great photographer with an eye for details and humour.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thank you all :). The outfit is a cardigan, a sleeveless shirt and an elastic belt. Nothing to special. Actually I spent at least one hour under the dryer. I set it with damp hair, using pincurls and some rollers, but somehow it didn´t dry properly. I´ll just stay with my pin curls over night...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    According to my man I got a few stares on the street yesterday. But on the other hand I got so many lovely comments from friends and family. Especially my m-i-l and her mother ("I had shoes just like that back then!") seemed to love it. I wore a black shirt and cardigan, elastic belt with...

    GrantFan you always look amazing. The new cut suites you! I´ve learned something new yesterday: My hair needs at least 10 hours of setting to look ok. I wasn´t satisfied with the curls I got, but the style instantly became a favorite. Please excuse the horrible phone picture:

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Dear ladies, I have a rather technical question. All my sewing machine is doing is this: The yellow one is the upper yarn and the blue is the lower thread. I got the machine from my m-i-l, it´s from the 60s as far as I could find out and I don´t have the manual for it. Couldn´t even find it...

    Dita Von Teese

    She must have got some very secret setting lotion formula. Or maybe she´s got a veeeeeeery old lady hidden in her closet that once, back in the 40s, was a popular hairstylist. I always love the look of her hair, no matter what length or style. It´s so perfect and classy.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I seem to attract idiots at the moment. The other day I didn´t wear any vintage clothes but a beret, I wore my standard make up (see avatar) and vintage hair. But I also wore a shirt with a print I designed myself, inspired by old horror movie posters with a quite angry looking cat on it. There...

    ~Recreating Hair styles of the 1940s~

    Smumo, I want pictures of that :) I kinda miss my dark green bangs. Once in a while I think I should just dye it again and don´t care if it matches my clothes or not. But then again...

    @MissLaurieMarie What a cute set! Looks great on you. I tried the middy tutorial by C-Dot and was pretty pleased with how my set turned out this morning: The back before brushing it out.

    @wahine: The dress doesn´t appear a second time. It´s also not on the pattern. But there´s other nice things inside :) @Stray Cat: Me too, me too!
