    Cigarette Pants/ Pedal Pushers/ Capris/ Cropped Pants

    Marks and Spencers has some really nice cropped trousers this year... you'd have to pay for shipping to America, but M&S are famous for good quality at a reasonable price. How about these? Or these have these in a few different patterns...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Retro GI Jane, I use MAC's Lipglass in Russian Red... it's sheer but not wishy-washy.

    Thanks hon - your bracelet was actually involved in that ensemble, but you can't see it in the photos! Juliet, your hair looks GREAT... that style looks really good on you. I've never tried it because I'm scared I'll look like a poodle!

    your powder room....

    This thread makes me so jealous... one day maybe I'll live in one place for more than six months at a time and I'll be able to buy some of my own furniture and decorate! I would LOVE a dressing table... I hate standing up to do my make-up at my mirror.

    Veronica Lake hairstyle setting pattern

    Not pincurls, but I know Lisafreemontstreet has a couple of videos about getting this kind of hair on her YouTube channel... she does a sort of big fingerwave to get the front part of the hair to do that. Have a search and see if you can find it, I can't remember exactly what it's called. :(...
