As i said, i am a vintage lover, and also, i love to scout for bargains at department stores! (who doesn't?) ;) I was actually running late for my class, and i grabbed the first thing i saw on my closet. It took me around 5 minutes to dress up!

Reddish tones like pearly pinks, peaches and corals contrast the blue in your eyes and really brighten your color. Apply the shadow from your lashline to the crease, but not under your eyes. Too much pink can make the whites of your eyes look red.

You can always rely on Burlington Coat Factory for great coats-even designer coats-for a lot less than department store prices. And the wide selection is always a plus. Last weekend I saw this down filled “Chevron Puffer Coat with Faux Fur Trim” by London Fog and was surprised at the price-originally $150, it was now only $70!

When the Apostle Paul declared that women shall cover their heads during worship who knew a biblical commandment would have such a profound impact on fashion. Our for-Sistas dating back to African American roots and beyond to the mother land, Africa, today's modern Afro-American women wears centuries of heritage on their heads. "I think it's because it's rooted in the African tradition that says that when one presents oneself before God… that you should be at your best –- that you should present excellence before the Almighty," says Craig Marberry co-author of Crowns. Well even if you have no intention of dressing to the Nines for the "Almighty" you can't deny that Church Ladies bring majestic wisdom refined beauty to the fashion world.
As the early 20th century was finding it's footing Afro-Americans were beginning to enjoy some limited independence. "Sunday church services provided African American women who worked as domestic servants or in other subservient roles the only real chance to break away from their drab, dreary workday uniforms. says Michael Cunningham of Time Magazine and co-author of Crowns. The women typically went for textured fabrics, bright colors and of course the key ingredient flamboyancy, some of the hats I see today have it all over Liberacci in that department. A matching ensemble is also important to the outfit; shoes, pocket book and gloves but I don't need to tell you ladies that right ;)
Hats also served as status symbols.

You can make sexual lubricants at home.
The purpose of a sexual lubricant is to reduce the friction between two moving objects, such as sexual toys or body parts. You can purchase sexual lubricants in some department stores, grocery stores, novelty shops or adult bookstores.

So somehow we stumbled into the Studio Wardrobe Department vintage store on Highland (near Sunset) on their closing night. (Who knew?) This place has been here for decades and they closed last night. I remember buying a New Kids on the Block shirt here for a dollar-- five or so years ago.

This summer my nail colors ranged from nude to electric orange to hot pink. But as the weather gets cooler, it’s time to change things up a bit. Looking through the fashion magazines and various blog sites, I’ve noticed a recurring theme: jewel toned nail polishes.

I wonder why this does not exist. Certainly the practice of "impulse buying" is alive and well, even in this tight economy. What if .......

Lady Levi's were invented in 1934, and it wasn't long before department stores started stocking them. Shortly after, the jeans switched from a button fly to a zipper to conform to more ladylike ideals.
