    Saddle shoes

    Sigh, I've been trying to get a response from Muffys for a while now. I know what I want but as I'm used to Australian sizing I want to make sure of the size and they say to email for international postage costs... No response. I really want a good quality leather pair of saddles and muffys seem...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Thank you. I love my red hair too, it just a packet mix from the supermarket (picked due to being the reddest option available). Although I may have to rethink the colour soon as I'm getting more and more greys which this colour doesn't cover very well.

    Show us your vintage-vintage inspired Engagement Ring!

    Hope this works. This is my Art Deco engagement ring I received 9 years after we were married. I'm not big on jewellery, so the fact that for many years I had an amethyst engagement ring which had been my mother-in-law's didn't bother me in the slightest. We had little money and I'd much rather...

    Do ladies really have to dress old & frumpy after a certain age...?

    I want to grow up to be these ladies http://seniorplanet.org/dont-dress-your-age-six-inspiring-women-say-no-to-drab/ http://http://seniorplanet.org/dont-dress-your-age-six-inspiring-women-say-no-to-drab/ Funnily enough, in my teens and twenties I always had short hair, pixie cuts mainly, it...

    Lady Adventurers, Women of Mystery!

    Resurrecting this thread to ask the lady adventurer cyclists out there how they deal with bike helmets and hairstyles. I've done quite a bit of cycling in the past (including racing penny farthings, but that's another story) but only recently getting back in the saddle, so to speak. I plan on...

    Show us your vintage hats!

    Loving all the beautiful hats. I have several hats but sometime am at a loss as to do hair and hats. I can do hair but how to do styles that dont end up crushed by the hats is currently beyond me. I mean hats are meant to be removed indoors aren't they?

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    Am really tempted to try and find some high waisted pants/jeans, but considering my pear shaped, short legged 5'2" figure I'm doubting whether they will actually flatter me or not. I'd rather not look like the front side of Myers (or if you're not from Australia envision frontage of large dept...

    40s/50s redheads...

    My favourite hair colour is red and I think I've been every shade from strawberry to flame to fire engine. It's a colour I always go back to. Hubby keep trying to get me to go black and won't believe me that true black is a hard colour to wear, I only had black when I was very young and...

    Another question about hair--taming the mane.

    When I set my hair I will usually try and keep the set going for up to a week, I find that using setting lotion and hairspray my hair doesn't get as oily as it used to without washing. I keep a set going by rolling up the pincurls again at night and maybe a light water spray to help reset. I...

    Once upon a time....I had the perfect foundation, colour, texture, coverage, everything....then they changed the formula....Revlon ultima II in the 90's was beautiful, it went on so lightly and almost like powder, then it changed and it felt like you were wearing concrete. Hehehehe I went round...
