lovely as always! your hair is so perfect! what do you use, pin curls or rollers?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Betty Lou!
ReplyDeleteI use either foam sticks (mine are made by Goody) or perm rods to cold set my hair. For touch-ups/hot sets I love Hot Sticks :-)
woo! what an honor! great outfits lady :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Screen Siren!
ReplyDeletethanks for the answer. if you have the time i would love to see a post with mabye a setting pattern ;D do you have it cut in any special way? it looks to be the perfect lenght!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that I should do a tutorial post one of these days :-)
ReplyDeleteMy hair is just past my shoulders, and I have it cut in long layers (the shortest layers at the front fall at my cheekbones; the rest of the layers are longer.) I don't get it cut in a specific vintage cut, like the 'middy'--I just ask for long layers, and bring in a reference photo. The cut works well for vintage styles though, and takes to the sets pretty well :-)
Your hair looks like a great length, and you style it very well!
Thank you, Esme!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Q!
ReplyDeleteThat navy dress is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ms. B--it's a favorite of mine :-)
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your hair! If you get the chance, you should indeed do that tutorial. I enjoy seeing/hearing how others set theirs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Elsie--I will post one in the future!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that second outfit so much. I have a bizarre (and I only say bizarre being a total city girl) obsession with country style outfits. And I'm also slightly obsessed with Wanda Jackson.

that navy dress is lovely!.. i´m look forward to see how you make your tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a hair tutorial too. I love the navy dress outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the kind words!
ReplyDeleteAndi—I have a mild obsession with western wear too; I love watching clips of the old country stars as they had the coolest outfits! Wanda is a total cutie, and she’s still got a great voice!
Thank you, Kori :-)
ReplyDeletehi, just discovered your blog - great looks ;)
ReplyDeletebig kiss
Oh, you look so stunning in navy (and so sweet in the Grand Ole Opry look). xoxo.
ReplyDeletei haven't got my hair cut in layers, mabye i should. because it's so thick so it's hard to brush it :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to comment, everyone!
ReplyDeleteBetty Lou--layers might help, as they provide shape to the hair and can help it hold the curl. My hair is fairly thick and it's much easier to manage with a layered cut :-)
