Hair tips and tricks, because what else ?
I have this same problem. It takes me so long to pin my hair and then I need to redo it everyday because of working out. Ugh… So I elected to get a haircut that looks good even if I don’t pin curl it. Pin curling has been relegated for special occasions now. -
What makeup item enamors you?
It’s not a makeup item but skincare and hair care are my obsession items right now. With mask mandates wrapping up it seems, I imagine lipsticks will make a big surge! -
Time travel shopping trip
My house was built in the 1865, so that’s way further than I’d like to go back :). I would time travel back to my home towns of NYC or Buffalo. I’d go to the big parks, go see a show, eat at a fancy restaurant etc. Shopping trip would include getting my hair and makeup done and watching very...- adara260

How do you feel about(Vintage) fur?
I do own one vintage coat with a fur collar. I don’t know what type of fur it is, I do believe it is real. The coat looks 60s to me so I imagine it had a matching muff or hat. I haven’t worn it once, but I just had to have it in the moment because it was “a status symbol” to have one back...- adara260

What vintage won't you wear?
I am open to trying all vintage at least once but there are definitely shapes that are not flattering on me: Empire waist dresses of the late 60s/70s. This makes me look pregnant. Bullet bras, my breasts point outwards and these bras tend to fit breasts that are straight so I just have weird...- adara260

30s Secretaries Dressing Inspiration
Also a schoolteacher so my vintage aesthetic goes OK with my work. I am more dressy than most my colleagues but it’s not an issue. I get lots of compliments. I don’t do vintage hair and makeup and clothes all at the same time, so that prevents it from being costume like. I also mix eras from...- adara260

Ladies Hat Chat
I’m not well versed in hat styles/names, but every hat I seem to like is from the 40s. I’m looking for a specific look but all I seem to find are 50s ones.- adara260

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Maybelline’s new line of Colour Sensational lipsticks in the “For Me” colors were tested on 50 different skin tones and were found to be flattering. I picked up Ruby For Me as it won the Allure Award for best red lipstick of 2020. It has a nice, slight semi floral smell and taste. The formula... -
Hairspray That Smells Like Hairspray
I was going to recommend L’Oréal Elnett. I hated the scent at first, but now I look forward to spraying it every morning! -

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Lucky you! I saw those when it came out years ago but didn't get any. I knew when I walked away that I would be sorry LOL. -
Some cute cold cream advertisements!
Pond's cold cream is such a lovely vintage product but it just doesn't work for me. It doesn't take off my waterproof makeup well and its too "greasy" for my oily complexion to not follow up with another cleanser. Too bad I love the scent! Brings back memories of my grandmother. -
Austerity Beauty ideas
What is vanishing cream? LOL, it sounds cool. Also where did you get kaholin clay from? Sounds interesting! I have that problem with Pond's cold cream. It doesn't take my waterproof eye makeup off so its useless to me. Since its used I don't feel right giving it to anyone else. I'm using it as...
