    Just William

    Is now a BBC series! Admittedly, it's for children, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Lots of lovely clothing and household items to see. BBC iPlayer Outside the UK

    That sounds like a marvvy plan! I'm in Bethnal Green, where abouts are you? Any other takers?

    Edit: Forgot to say, that's a gorgeous cardigan Lolly - lovely colour and detailing. Thanks everyone! I feel so lucky! Here's a gratuitous close up shot of the neckline: And another recent purchase:

    I plan on sashaying everywhere in it - anything else would be impolite, no? ;)

    Show us your hair do's....

    Wow the waves are perfection! I think my hair texture is similar to yours, I've had some success with a similar set - except at the back of my head - I'll give pillow rollers a go!

    Oh that red dress is so beautiful - I adore big skirted dresses with sleeves! Lovely for autumn eh? And the shoes are delicious -any chance they're not vintage? Here's my latest purchase and it's all mine (greedily and gratefully)!

    Lipstick issues...

    I have two methods to stave off a lipstick retreat; I only ever drink with a straw (even hot drinks), and I eat like a camel (recede lips, bare teeth, attack food!). The latter is almost impossible to do while looking like a lady, but I figure my lipstick is worth it.

    Vintage Sunglasses

    What a glorious array of sunglasses! I have serious spectacle envy. The seller who sold me the above glasses thought they were from 1930s/40s and made from bakelite - but I have my doubts. Having worn out my nose with the heat'n'smell test, and played weighing scale (heavy = bakelite...

    Show us your Horrockses dresses!

    I went on Saturday and was a bit disappointed with the mannequins as they didn't much show the silhouettes, which is what drew me to 1940s/50s clothing in the first place. It was lovely seeing the sketchbooks, though I wish I could have had a proper nose through a few of those!

    Mascara on upper lashes only?

    How interesting - I look ill if I wear mascara on my lower lashes, they are too long and just look like dark circles from most any distance! I overcompensate by loading up the uppers to near-breaking point.

    Footwear for Winter

    ...aaand I'll take a pair of these! I'm still looking out for tight laced ankle boots in a chesnut-y shade, a lot like Lauren's (sporting a delectable headwear confection, love the feather, yum!), but not so high. (p.s. Annie I love your blog, you are an utterly adorable creature)

    Custom Blended Makeup

    I have the opposite problem to Tishkaminx (sidenote - I grew up in the Wirral!) and baby_butterfly - nothing is yellow enough! Most of the foundations I've tried seem to have orange undertones rather than yellow, which is never flattering. I've flirted with the idea of a custom blend...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    The gentlemen of my local market have nicknamed me 'Princess'. I'm not sure it's a compliment. Although, one lovely chap bashfully commented that I resembled 'one of those old movie star types'. Aw.

    The ones that got away

    Ah, what could have been... (a beautiful, two-toned fitted bodice flared skirt heart breaker of a coat) I can only hope it's happy out there without me...
