    Respecting dresses too much?

    I recently noticed something weird about myself. Instead of wearing my vintage pieces, I choose one of my few modern outfits. One reason clearly is laziness, like when I don't feel like doing my hair or got prickly legs, I prefer a modern jeans outfit. But, another reason is, as it seems now...

    short London travel - any tips?

    My auntie invites me to go to London, yay! :bounce: She's never been to London, and since I haven't been there for about 15 years it'll almost be like a first time for me, too (the town must have changed a lot; and I have changed, too). I'd be grateful for some advice and tips where to go...

    picture request: Far From Heaven

    Hello ladies! My personal tailor - aka my aunt - needs something to do to avoid becoming a bored retired gal. So I thought I'd ask her to make a new dress for me. :D I'm totally in love with the auburn day dress Julianne Moore wears in Far From Heaven. Unfortunately, I have no proper pictures...

    refreshen the old wardrobe

    No, this is not about going on a big shopping tour to get new clothes (not that I didn't want to :cool:). I just moved from a place with built-in closets to a place without. So I need a stand alone wardrobe. Good is: my aunt has one to spare, and it's even the one that she and my mom used...

    pictures of every day life in France

    I accidently found a page of the French ministry of culture that hosts thousands of photos, e.g. of every day life in and around Paris. They're not too big and not all in focus, but very natural / drawn from life - I really enjoyed looking at many of the pictures. It has mostly pics of...

    The pixies come at night...

    There is a fairy tale about pixies coming at night and cleaning up the mess in your house. Well, to my house they come and make the mess even worse. And, the most shocking thing: They take my bobby pins! Every month, I buy new ones but each time I look into my little bobby pin box, there...
