Over the long weekend, my trusty jeans finally died. And I’m not sad that they did. They’ve served me well for more than 2 years (Target jeans, not expensive ones .. my size 14 Levi’s are still in perfect nick), and I was thinking of ditching them anyway. They just got in first. So my MIL [...] . . . → Read More: Pop Goes the Zipper!

I’ve been into the retro and vintage thing for quite some time now. It started out as a love for the movies, and the style they portrayed. Then followed the discovery of Jazz and Swing/Big Band music, which flowed into dancing and fashion/beauty choices. All of this was much easier when I was living at home [...] . . . → Read More: What Being “Vintage Grrl” Means To Me. I’m about to tell you about my secret clothing heaven. As we speak I am a ‘plus’ size girl. I’m also a short girl. Off the rack clothes that I enjoy wearing doesn’t really happen often. But I must dress, so I do the best I can. My mother introduced me to a place that I have [...] . . . → Read More: Let Me Tell You ‘Bout a Place I Know. For some reason I get the urge to ‘Spring Clean’ in Autumn. Whether it’s I’m too busy in Spring enjoying the warming weather, or just that Autumn represents the coming of the ‘close in’ of Winter that I want to do it before it’s too cold to leave doors/windows open. Maybe I just find the [...] . . . → Read More: My Immediate Plans.. or ..Why Spring Cleaning Happens in Autumn I picked up a sample of this a little while ago, and I’m finally getting around to using it (Bad Tia!). It goes on very smoothly, and takes little ‘rubbing’ in for it to spread well, and doesn’t go white and streaky. Once on, it doesn’t have a greasy feel, like a lot of sunscreens have.

I like to give my skin a breathe, or if I plan on getting sweaty or dirty, I don’t bother, but will face up once I’ve showered afterwards. I’m enjoying my CoverGirl foundation, [...] . . . → Read More: Just a Bit of Everything Back in the 30’s women wore their nailpolish differently. Called a ‘half-moon manicure’, it was supposed to show your good health to those who took notice of your hands. But these days it’s just another cool nail look. Glamazon Burlesque queen Dita Von Teese is often seen sporting the look. It really isn’t a “new’ [...] . . . → Read More: Faux-Dita Manicure Last week I bought myself some new makeup for my ‘every day’ makeup. Priceline was having a 3 for 2 sale, so I picked me up some lovely Covergirl products. First was some base. I didn’t want uber heavy daytime makeup, and thought that the name of the foundation was exactly what I wanted it to [...] . . . → Read More: Product Review – Cover Girl Way back on the 10th (my birthday and a bit of a messy afternoon), I lost my glasses in all the hub-ub of the day. I was in dire need of new ones asap, as not wearing glasses gives me all kinds of nasty headaches. I knew I had an un-lensed pair at home (somewhere), [...] . . . → Read More: To See, or Not To See… Wouldn’t you know it, but my lovely Blue Curacao nails did not last long. It seems that if you grab your washing out of the dryer the moment it ‘bings’ at you, then your nail polish is likely to melt. EEK! At 4:30ish in the afternoon, I didn’ t have enough time to do any more [...] . . . → Read More: Some Manicures Are Not Meant To Be.. |
