    What vintage won't you wear?

    I love the Art Deco era most, but 20's doesn't work on me for clothing, so I do more 30's. I'm petite and slender/curvy, but look really young, so want my waist emphasized. 30's silhouette seems made for me with the slim slinky lines that allow soft curves. Any extreme makeup looks. I can do a...

    Setting Lotion

    Any of the Shea Moisture brand "mousses" are actually more like setting lotions and very conditioning for the hair.

    Any other curly girls in here?

    I am black, with medium length, afro curly hair. I eventually want to get an angled bob look to somewhat allude to a 20's/30's feel. The front layers and bangs need to grow out more first before I cut. My hair makes nice waves if I braid/twist/bantu knot it and coil the ends with my fingers. I...

    How does a girl keep warm?

    AnnieB, I love your pinterest and am now a follower. I'm https://www.pinterest.com/lalablossoms/ if anybody cares. I have an art deco board that is more fantasy than reality. Nice to see more everyday women though. Not everyone from the past was a screen siren and sometimes they did wear "basic"...

    How does a girl keep warm?

    My style is all about combining touches of vintage with modern day stuff ( mostly consignment and thrift store designer pieces ). I love 20's/30's, but also more modern vintage like 90's, so I'm a bit all over the place, which actually makes it easier than trying for 100% authentic anything. I...

    Greta Garbo Makeup Suggestions

    I really like this Greta Garbo tutorial. A bit more modern take on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjWBN7QgwB4 And this is Marlene Deitrich not Greta Garbo, but I think it works for most 1930s glamour looks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0N0iyuYVNI

    Who Here Has Switched To the 'No-Poo' Method??

    Did you mean bantu knots? If so, I love setting my hair with those for waves. I'm happy with shampoo. I've tried the clay cleansing and was not fond of it. There are some horrible traditional shampoos, but I just stick to simple and gentle and have no adverse effects. I use hot oil treatments to...

    Who Here Has Switched To the 'No-Poo' Method??

    I tried this, years ago, since I have natural ( a.k.a. afro, no relaxer ) African American hair. It did not agree with me. Some swear by it and I have seen beautiful hair that thrives on it. I just do better with shampooing regularly. I do however "co-wash" daily when I choose to wear my hair in...

    I need glasses really bad!!! what do 1920's womens glasses look like???????????

    Sol Moscot is an optician that has been around since 1913. I actually sold them at a clothing boutique when I lived in Austin. Very good quality and a nice company to work with. The designs here are actually reproductions from their vintage archives. Fabulous Fanny's is awesome for true vintage...

    I need glasses really bad!!! what do 1920's womens glasses look like???????????

    Actually the round frame is very fashion forward right now so you may not have that hard a time finding them. I am a 20s/30s enthusiast myself and was really excited to see all of the round shapes popping up in sunglasses. I have also seen round prescription glasses about, but I live in NY, so I...
