I came across a link to a clothing site on a blog I read occasionally. The site is called Shabby Apple, while the apparel isn't strictly vintage-inspired, the designers' philosophy made me smile:
"A return to what dresses were always meant to be — a one-piece outfit. No need to add...
I'm one of the genetically unlucky when it comes to under eye circles. I think they are allergy related, as they get worse during allergy season. Until now, I've either ignored them or made do with drugstore concealer; now, I'm looking for a more powerful solution.

Well, I went in to get a haircut. My hair was on my shoulderblades, and I as aiming to get about two inches cut off, to leave it just below my shoulders.
I now have a bob. A long bob, perhaps, but now my hair comes about a half an inch past my chin.

Continuing with our specialty size theme today, I have a question for you all. I have a big head. Not figuratively, but literally.
I've always known that hats, aside from knit caps, don't fit my head. Today I decided to measure and figure out my actual head size. I came up with 23 1/2", or a...
