    Different decorating periods in one home...or room?

    I prefer the notion of having rooms that flow together stylistically and period-wise. At our apartments we had a bunch of random, mostly inexpensive stuff and now I want something that fits together as a whole. We've just moved into a house that was built in the 1950s and ever since July (when...

    Music videos displaying vintage fashion

    These may not have genuine vintage clothing, but the overall look has a vintage slant: Madonna - Express Yourself, This Used to be my Playground, Oh Father, You'll See, Don't Cry for Me Argentina Kate Bush - Cloudbusting, Hounds of Love Public Enemy - Can't Truss It Fleetwood Mac -...

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Yesterday I picked this up at a nearby antiques shop for $10.00. I am going in search of Krylon or some other paint that I can use to spruce it up today. It also needs new fabric inside. I might see if I can add a small mirror, too. I hope this picture is viewable to others.

    Hair dye irritation

    I've stopped using traditional hair colour products for a few reasons, but one of the primary ones was that I would often feel dizzy and nauseous after using a dark shade. I recently used a mixture of black and brown Manic Panic and it didn't cause any kind of reaction. Of course, within a week...

    When Push Comes To Shove...

    That's a great choice. Kind of unique for a "girl movie", in my opinion. And I love Seymour's house. My personal favourite so far is Vertigo.

    "Kyiv" looks better to me. :) I'd love to visit the city. My maternal great grandparents were from Ukraine.

    What is your personal 'No-No' for makeup, hair, & wardrobe?

    Ah, a fellow autumn. :) I do wear silver jewellery, though. Sorry, that's color-me-beautiful speak. Do you know of that book?

    Show us your vintage home!

    This thread is extremely helpful. I would love to decorate our apartment '30s - '40s style. It's nice to see such good taste on display. Also, I'm wondering - do any of you that have seen " A Christmas Story" feel that it appears to paint an accurate picture of what a late '30s (lower) middle...

    What is your personal 'No-No' for makeup, hair, & wardrobe?

    Make-up: - I can't wear lipstick or nail polish that's primarily red. Actually, nearly all dark colours tend to look odd on me from a make-up standpoint - just my personal opinion, though. I think they look great on others, but they're too showy for me. Clothing: - At the moment, I...

    low heel heights in shoes

    Good idea, K.D. - thanks for the help. I wore my espadrilles yesterday and they weren't too bad until I had to walk on gravel. That's just with a slight wedge heel. Something a bit flatter would be better.

    low heel heights in shoes

    Alright. Thank you for responding, BixChix. I ended up buying a pair of espadrille sandals and they look nice but are not all that comfy. I've been a practical shoe type for my whole life and it looks like that might change. Boo hoo. :)

    Thank you for the input, Lauren. P.S. I thought maybe I'd misspelled Ms. Hepburn's first name. I used an 'e' where an 'a' should have been.

    low heel heights in shoes

    No worries, doll. I've already had a peek at the remix shoe site and realized that their shoes were out of my league, if you will. I like the ones on the dance store site, though. I was looking at similar styles to those Mary Janes at Payless - I need cheapie shoes for now. :)

    I will have a look at the remixvintage site, thank you very much. Great photos, too.

    low heel heights in shoes

    Thanks for the help, jitterbugdoll. Here's something kinda funny - I was just looking at the site that you mentioned...AND I was watching "The Aviator" only an hour or so ago. I guess I will have to try and find something appropriate. Once I have more moolah saved up, naturally. ;)

    low heel heights in shoes

    Hi. I have been looking at a few vintage fashion websites and it looks like heels were prevalent in those days. Surely *some* ladies wore flat shoes when they went out...didn't they? What about Katherine Hepburn - did she wear men's shoes? If anyone can sort me out on this matter I would...

    A Brillant Website

    That's nifty. This doesn't have anything to do with the internet but over the last five years or so I've noticed that a number of t.v. ads have used old jazz and popular songs. I know I saw a commercial a while back with "Fly Me to the Moon" in the background. There was also an ad for a Canadian...

    Dealing with Joe Public

    I agree with what you are saying here. I'm certain that many of the members here are perfectly willing to shop in thrift stores. I myself do it, and have been doing it for around 10 years or so...mostly because my grandparents and mom introduced me to it. But some feel that wearing a complete...

    I bow down to Kraftwerk

    I don't know a lot about Kraftwerk, but I used to listen to a bit of "industrial" music (Ministry, NIN) during my high school years. I know they influenced a lot of artists from the '90s. I probably feel the same way about Pink Floyd that you do about Kraftwerk. I love the Floyd.

    Want to see why I hate people??

    Look at that poor woman. At least the girlfriend gave a toot about them. She could have just run right off. I wouldn't have the guts to do what this couple did.
