    Deco Jewelery

    Do any of you know where I could find some Art Deco inspired jewelry? I'm specifically looking for necklace/earring sets and similar hair combs for me and my bridesmaids. Nothing too expensive, especially since I need to buy 3 sets. Thank you! Nikki

    Calling all vegetarians !!!

    I'm a vegetarian and have been for 3 years. My fiance was raised vegetarian and has never intentionally eaten meat. I became a vegetarian not long after we started dating to see if I could and I will never go back! I absolutely love it.

    Replacing Vanity Mirrors

    Thank you for the great advice. I never would have thought about re-silvering! I looked it up and there is someone right near me and the price is right so I think that is what I'll do. Thank you again! Nikki

    What do you wear to do aerials?

    You need to be practical and comfortable if you are doing aerials. I don't suggest wearing heels definitely not blyers (I didn't know they were still around). For shoes wear something that is going to give you a nice solid landing like keds. As for clothing I would suggest wearing something...

    How to keep your hair in place?

    I dance and I dance hard and the only way to keep my hair in place when I go vintage is a hair net. Starting with day old hair use setting lotion and set the curls the night before. I leave my curlers (pillow rollers work perfect) in until I absolutely have to take them out to ensure they are...

    Favorite Outfit!!

    My favorite outfit is this beautiful 1930's blouse (the one in my avatar), my black high waisted a-line, and a beautiful pair of 1930's black pumps. I have lots of adorable dresses but the colors on the blouse always grab me.

    Vintage Jewelry

    I have a vintage make up case filled with most of my grandmothers costume jewelry. Unfortunately it was given to me after her death so I never got to go through it with her. How do I determine the era of the pieces?

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    I just tried pillow rollers for the first time and they worked fabulously. I highly recommend them if you have to sleep in curlers. They are like rags but they have a piece of foam in them. You can get them at Target.
