I like my eyebrows well enough, so it wasn’t until I saw this photo of Miss Polly Rae that I’ve ever felt inadequate about them. Look at how lovely her makeup is! This is essentially the look I like to wear, just done oh-so perfectly! And those brows, swoon!
A very sexy re-imagining of WWII military. Not sure of the model’s name or where this was featured, drop me a line if you recognize it.
UPDATE 13/12/09: Just stumbled across these shots again on the photographer’s website. They are by UK photographer Steven Kearney, and you can check out his portfolio here: www.stephenkearney.co.uk
Victory rolls are a favorite hairstyle for swing girls, but so often I see this little mistake. If you have a round face, be careful not to leave the rolls too loose, causing the hair to balloon out at the temples. This will just make your face look rounder. Go for fullness at the top, not at the sides.
Because Naomi here is cute as a button, she absolutely gets away with it, but you can see how tightening up the rolls at the side (done here with the help of handy Photoshop), makes the look more elegant.
Of course, the opposite is true if you have a long, narrow face – then if you have a lot of height at the top and nothing at the sides, you can end up looking a bit like a Praying Mantis…
Just saying…
Anyway, here’s Dita doing Victory Rolls in fine style, and a few vintage shots to inspire.
It seems Ralph Lauren’s take on the recession involves some neat references to the 1930s Depression, and I’m not complaining.
Paperboy caps, worn denim baggies, ladies in pinstriped three-pieces and plus fours… ring-a-ding-ding!! There were also a few pretty florals, if you care to look.
