Short Hair Cut and Outfit Post

Hello Vintage Lovers!
Last week I got a hair cut by my friend Andrew! He did a fab job... Although I was going t grow it out longer to a Rita Hayward hair length.. but he thought that I would look better in a bob like Marylin Monroe/ Liz Taylor/ Natalie Wood, hair cut!
My hair grows fast anyway so by the end of this month it would grow a inch. I do sorta miss my 2 inches... but oh well ...The fun news is I that I can sport finger waves... 1960's hair styles ... and other hair styles!!!
Its not really styled in the pictures... I just curled it under a little bit in the back its more of a 60's look.
Check it out!


Short Is In!!! :


Notice!!! My hair is not in a set!!!!!!!




My outfit is a 2 piece the A Bow jacket and the wiggle dress!! Its SO pretty!!! Its from the 1960's!!!
  The Cut Was Inspired By The 3 Lovely Ladies!!!

Miss Wood


Miss Taylor


Miss Monroe



Until Then I will be experimenting with my hair sets!!!

Hope You All Love It!!

Hello Vintage Lovers!!
One day I was cleaning out my room.. and I was rearranging my hats... I did not realise how much hats I have!!!!!
Its really funny when you been collecting vintage for a long time and you store it in hat boxes you don't really see how much of it you have!!!!






I never counted my hats!!! :(
Do you collect anything vintage that you have a lot of !!????
