I have a variety of cute vintage and vintage-style outfits in my wardrobe - I've posted pictures of some of my sewing projects on this blog - but my absolute favorite is a rather simple and casual co...
While visiting my family's lake cabin I browsed through several old fan magazines... I loved gazing at the lovely hair and clothes, and I took some snapshots of my favorites. Here's a batch of them:A...
I agonized for quite awhile about what I was going to wear for the occasion. Eventually I decided that since we were just going to hang out at home anyway, I'd just pull on a pair of overalls and get...
I've been meaning to sew a dress, which I've cut out and am anxious to finish, but I've spent all my free time absorbed in Wisdom and Innocence by Joseph Pearce. It's a biography of G.K. Chesterton, ...
Isn't this simple outfit of Audrey Hepburn's in Roman Holiday so lovely? It's just the very basic 50's look - full skirt, button-up blouse, and belt - but it's so infinitely charming. And it would be...
I'm not feeling at all glamorous. I guess it's a little hard to feel glamorous when you have a sore throat, watery eyes, and runny nose. I think I'll at least put on a swirly skirt and a pair of earr...
Seeing Grace Kelly in the movie High Society was really what got me into vintage fashion. I'd never cared for it much until I saw those full-skirted, feminine, sweet and gorgeous outfits she wore.The...
Harumph. Why did hats go out of fashion? There were so many different styles, so many different colors, appropriate for all seasons and occasions. Hats add atmosphere, and they add individuality to a...

Unfortunately my bangs were too short at the time I gave the hair a try to do much with them, so they look a bit straight and awkward.This was the first 1950's style I tried after cutting my hair fro...
My grandmother recently passed along to me several pairs of her old clip- and screw-on earrings, which are just perfect for me... for their vintage-ness, of course, and also because they don't requir...
I'm always hearing negative comments about so-called 'bushy' eyebrows, as if they're a bad thing. While I love that totally elegant look of the thin, pencil eyebrows (Vivien Leigh!), I don't naturall...
Oh, my, right now I'm so glad that I don't shop at Target (I'm pretty much a strictly thrift-store and homemade girl). If I did, I think I'd probably break the bank! They have so many cute retro-like...
...and I'm thinking that maybe I should bring the sewing machine out of the closet, dust it off, and use up some of the fabric I have.How are these for some pretty summer dresses? They're all from Re...
What's better for a girl than a white dress, trimmed with rosebud fabric, and with short puffed sleeves? Perfect for spring and summer, and for all Sunday picnic occasions!
There she is. You know, no matter where she is, what she's wearing, or what she's doing, Grace Kelly always look so perfect. She always looks so stylish and elegant. Even when she's in a casual outfi...
