    I want to make a skirt to go with this sweater. I'm looking for something that will match in style and era. I already have the fabric, it's a nice dark brown. But I can't decided which style would be best!

    I made a circle skirt and now I need a petticoat to go with it. I tried making one but it's been such a hassle. I was wondering where everyone gets their petticoats?

    Feeling Good vs. Looking Good

    Lately I have been in a slum. I haven't been feeling good/happy. I don't do my hair and I don't wear nice clothes or do my makeup like I used to. And yesterday I realized I was waiting to FEEL like a million bucks, to LOOK like a million bucks. But I think I have it all backwards. I'm gonna...

    ROLLS- DIY tool

    I always struggle with rolls. I can do them but it usually takes a lot of fumbling and thousands of attempts. So today I took a clothes hanger (the wiry metal ones) and cut a length of wire 8 inches long. I then folded it in half with pliers. It looks like an over sized bobby pin without the...

    Hair cut: Layers

    I read that layers are crucial to a vintage hairstyle. I don't have any layers but my vintage hairstyles seem alright to me, I think. I am way over due for a haircut and I am thinking of asking for layers. Anything specific I need to ask for? How will having layers help vintage hairstyles?

    Bad baby hair days?

    I have little baby hairs all around my face. They are very fine and about 2 inches in length. They also appear to be exempt from the laws of gravity. They fly up everywhere , and I mean UP; I look like Einstein if they aren't kept in check. I either need lot's of grease to keep them slicked...

    Foam bendy rollers

    I'm in the UK for the New Year and I found some foam bendy rollers at the store. They are hard to find in North America. So I am thinking of buying them to try them out but I have SO many curlers at home. How would they differ from sponge rollers? What have your experiences been with foam...

    Rollers in public

    I usually go to the gym in the morning. This makes it pretty much useless for me to set my hair overnight. Unless...I wore my curlers, or pin curls, to the gym. Do you ladies think that would be too much? Is there a better solution?
