    modern perfumes that work with vintage

    I think I was given a bottle of Tabu as a gift a long time ago - I didn't care for it, just a bit TOO strong for my taste!

    modern perfumes that work with vintage

    My favorite scent is White Shoulders - you can find it at walmart, but Vermont Country Store has the more original eu de cologne. OOH! I also just noticed they have powder too! I'm a big fan of florals, especially rose, lilac, etc but I'm rather picky. My husband loves when I wear...

    Anyone else ever feel like this?

    As a SAHM with 2 boys, 3 cats, 1 dog and a hubby who needs me, I can relate. That happens to be one reason I want to make/buy some cute 40's housedresses that are easy on in the morning. I've found it's also easy doing my hair if I am just taking out rollers and adding a few bobby pins to...

    Do you go Commando?

    Off topic? I just love how you brits call them "knickers". So much more fun to say than "Underwear" (as it's called here), "Underpants" or "Panties".

    Do you go Commando?

    Ugh. For me it's different every day. If I've had a rushed morning and I need to go take the kids to school I've been known to drive over and back with no underpants or bra. I never wear a skirt above the knee so I have no worries. I don't wear them to bed unless it's 'that time'. I...

    Best repro/retro patterns for vintage styles

    OH! I love the housedress on decadesofstyle.com! That is precisely what I'm looking for! Now to find money... ugh. I don't know if this is off topic or not...but many have mentioned how women of the day would cut down and repurpose men's suits to make women's suits. I know I could find...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Thanks Neighbor! (I'm probably not far from you..) i've got Noxema in my cabinet so I'll use that up first before switching to regular cold cream, I think. I also need to find some cute facecloths. Tonight I cleansed with noxema, then rinsed it off with the witch hazel. We'll see how...

    Long Vintage Hair

    I've seen some styles where the length of the hair is put in rollers just to the chin to get that fluffy curly at the shoulder thing of the 40's.

    Stuff in your PURSE

    I've seen in some stores an 'organizer' purse insert that helps organize your purse but also makes it easier to transfer everything from one purse to another.

    TONS of 1930s Fashion Photos

    IMO women who allow themselves to age gracefully in the 'old fashioned way' look so much better than the...what are they called? Cougars? We have now. When my grandmother died at 84 she was beautiful. Still put the finger waves in her short hair - just a few at the temples. Sorry if...

    How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)

    Did I reply to this thread yet? I don't remember...LOL Lately I've washed my hair every 2 days when my curl desintegrates as I'm still learning how to set it properly. I'm hoping to cut down to 1-2 times per week if my curl will last that long.

    Long Vintage Hair

    You might try layering it to thin out the thickness some. I saw a tutorial on youtube that showed easy ways to do it yourself. I think one had you put the hair in a high ponytail and cut it straight across. When I tried that it came out really well. Once you layer it, it might be easier to...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Ok my skin isn't dry unless just getting out of the shower. In face, my skin breaks out in horrible acne if I use any soap on it other than Grampa's Pine Tar Soap. Yes, it smells like bacon. No, I don't care since it clears up my acne in a flash! However, I use it in the shower and was...

    What's On Your Vanity Table?....

    You guys are so inspiring...I managed to put my vanity together today! I took my sewing table/desk & chair out of the boy's room and put it next to my bed so it doubles as a nightstand. I placed the tablecloth from my nightstand on it, a lamp and found an odd mirror (it's a mirror that's made...

    Ok my husband made fun of my make up....

    The first time I cut my hair, set it, and began wearing red lipstick my husband looked at me and said "What's with the lipstick? And the Hair?" One reason behind this is his own insecurity - he's afraid that if I'm getting dolled up there might be a *reason* behind it. As in another male...

    Stuff in your PURSE

    Wow what a great thread! I found: My iPhone folding hair brush hand sanitizer wallet w/cards & a maxi pad $10 - to buy milk when I go to the dairy tomorrow. My favorite pink pen emery board My sunglasses (they clip on to my regular glasses) my keys - a car key, house key, 2 cute...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Tatum - your rolls are so cute! And I LOVE the sweet little dragonfly tat on the back of your neck! It's like it's playing peek-a-boo with your hair! I need to let my hair grow out a bit so I can put it up like that. It's just a tad too short yet after my latest Middy cut.

    Lipstick issues...

    I tried the powder trick today and I have to admit it DID make my dimestore 99 cent lipstick last a lot longer than I thought it would! Even the long-wear lipstick fades by mid-day, I think. I didn't try 'priming' with foundation or anything. Perhaps I'll do that tomorrow along with...

    What's On Your Vanity Table?....

    I'd forgotten the other word for dressing table was 'vanity' when I did my search LOL! I only searched for Dressing Table and didn't get far. Thanks for moving my post! The closest thing I have is a 1950's sewing table of my grandmothers, the kind that opens up so you can bring your...

    What's On Your Vanity Table?....

    Dressing Table? Do any of you have a proper Vintage-style dressing table? Or do you do all your beautification bent over the bathroom sink or dresser? I have always wanted a dressing table, but can't seem to find the room for one.
