    London Shopping?

    I'll be in London for a few days in mid-June. My husband will be working, so I'll have day time to explore of my own. Are there some good vintage or charity shops that I should check out? I'll be staying in Marylebone, if that helps.

    Who has white streaks?

    My new hair color is black with a white streak in the fringe. After my first shampoo and set, I've noticed that the white looks a bit gray and slightly lavender-ish. How can I get rid of that tint and how do I keep the black from bleeding onto the white?

    Retro=Frumpy?

    I've been thinking alot about this issue lately (retro=frumpy) and how to combat the frump. For those of us who wear pencil skirts and spike heels, it isn't an issue. It's also not an issue for those of us who are covered with ink/piercings. A sweet pink dress looks completely different on a...

    incongruent vintage items

    This one is a puzzler, ladies. We've talked about how many women might wear the fashion of their heyday even as fashion passes them by. For example, I've seen pics of older ladies wearing Edwardian clothing while the younger ladies are wearing 20s fashions. I recently came across something...

    winter vintage style vs. summer vintage style?

    Do you maintain your vintage style during the winter? I would love to see some pictures of your winter looks. I have found that while I LOVE bare shouldered sundresses and high heeled sandals, I'm not a fan of winter vintage looks. I've made several winter dresses from vintage patterns and...

    Do you get comments when you DON'T dress vintage?

    How many of us are "the vintage gal" in our circles of friends? I'm the only one who dresses vintage and most of a certain circle of friends only know me as dressing vintage.
