On the topic of heels!! I have a problem I need help sorted out or fixed, I love my heels and I love my platforms and what-have-you. The girl I just started dating is an inch shorter then I am in flats... T_T I've always dated girls taller then I am, so heels were never a problem. How do you handle dating someone shorter and still wear heels? I dont like the idea of towering over her... but I love my heels and the way they make my legs look!

Oh, and I want those white shoes with the funky heels to your right and I'm intrigued with the black and white polka dotted thing crumpled up on the floor on your left.

Haha! The white shoes with the wooden soles are called Rocking Horse Shoes, they're pretty old and beaten up, first made popular by Vivian Westwood in her fashion shows, the models fell and tripped all other themselves because they didn't know how to walk in the platforms. ^_^ Some come with thick ankle straps while other ribbon up the leg like ballet shoes.

The black and white polka dot thing is a big Hello Kitty bag, like a beachbag or overnight bag... Haha.

Gemme · 08-22-2011, 09:02 PM

Okay, I definitely want the bag.

lol

Yay, are we talking about clothes? I spend waaaay too much time on Etsy looking at vintage dresses. My vintage collection has seriously doubled since I discovered Etsy had a crap-ton of plus size vintage dresses.

I used to be more goth, but these days my uniform is black pencil skirt, black tights, high heeled oxfords, and cute sweater or blouse.

SecretAgentMa'am · 10-24-2011, 10:44 PM

I have the clothes I would wear if I could afford them and had anyplace to wear them to. Then I have my actual wardrobe. I would love to wear sexy rockabilly dresses, vintage 1940's dresses, great big, fabulous heels, all with stockings and garters every day.

In reality, I'm an unemployed college student and I ride a scooter to school every day, and safety trumps fashion. So my actual wardrobe is generally jeans, fitted baby tees, and my stompy 28-eyelet Doc Marten's, along with my pink and black armored jacket and pink helmet.

^^ This. And business wear in the office.

Indyfem · 10-25-2011, 03:06 PM

That's cute!

Zimmeh · 10-30-2011, 07:25 PM

I normally wear black Kenneth Cole slacks, a cute top and a cardigan to work everyday. I love wearing clothes that compliment my body shape and I tend to buy more pants and skinny jeans than skirts. Working in the retail industry for almost ten years forced me into pants. I have several skirts that I like to wear out to dinner with some really cute tights.

My favorite shoe designer is Kenneth Cole and his shoes are timeless...Ask Medusa who got to see my Kenneth Cole 9-2-5 Technology heels. This si the pair that I own:

This is the other pair that I own and everyone wants to borrow them

Weak ankles make it hard for me to wear heels longer then half an hour, so I normally like wearing flats or Skechers.

I also love to shop at Talbots, Ann Taylor and White House Black Market or Target...Torrid is a kick ass store and I still love to shop there!

As someone who is short and everyone towers over... don't sweat it. She probably loves the way your legs look in heels too

I bought my first nightie in like 4-5 years! Its black and fits perfectly ~ feels weird a little but I like it

Ginger · 03-26-2012, 08:21 PM

Hi, I'm looking for a little advice.

I have layered hair, blond (hell yes I get highlights!), thick but fine, naturally wavy, past my shoulders, and I blow dry it every other day or so. I'm thinking of getting a curling iron, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend one that doesn't break or damage their hair.

Thanks!

Good luck with that, since the act of applying the heat to your hair is technically damaging.

There's a thread around here.....for this very kind of thing. I'll try to find it and bump it so you can see if someone there can help.

No matter what you use you will have some kind of damage. You need to be sure you are preparing the hair when you use any kind of tool that involves heat. Are you using a heat protect-ant when you blow dry? When you use it that is what you see steaming off of the hair, some people layer their products. I have short hair and use 2 to 3 products on my hair. What are you looking to achieve by using a curling iron?

Leigh · 03-27-2012, 08:49 AM

Myself and a friend of mine from high school went shopping last week and I bought the first skirt that I have owned in years! Its black and white and fits perfectly ~ I look forward to buying more in the future

Just had to share since its pretty exciting!

Have fun with that! I started buying wrap dresses last fall, and now I have quite a few. I find they're more forgiving, now that I've gained some weight. Plus they have a kind of retro quality to them that I like.

Hi, Kim.

I like that straight hair look that I'm seeing a lot now, and that's what I'm looking to get with a curling iron. Since my hair is long now I thought it would be fun to have it be more straight, that it would have more "swing."

No, I don't use a product specifically designed to protect against heat when blow drying—that is a very good question and I should see what's out there.

I do use an Aveda leave-in conditioner called Damage Remedy, and an Aveda "smoothing fluid" in their Light Elements line. Sometimes for control I use the Light Elements "detailing wax" which is like hair spray without alcohol.

But no, none of these products is expressly for protection with blow drying or curling irons.

And I never see steam coming off my hair when I blow dry it, so maybe I need to get something to protect it against the hot air.

Thanks for writing!
