I have my eye on the perfect pair of silver heels, I also have really pretty accessories to go with it (a clutch, necklace, and earrings). I mainly just need hair and make up tips. My hair is blonde but not Marilyn Monroe blonde. It's gotten darker over the years.

Need fashion advice for a clueless guy - old hollywood style!? My friend is having a birthday party for her 24th and the theme of the party is old hollywood glamour. She wants everyone to dress up to match the theme, but I have NO IDEA what to do. I usually just wear what's on top of my dresser, and now I have to coordinate clothes and dress up nicely?? Tips would be appreciated for: hairstyle, clothing, and accessories. Please help a fashionless guy like me for just one night to support my friend! Thanks so much! Here are some facts about me that may or may not help: -I have mediumish length hair.. I'd say closer to shorter than longer. (to give an idea, if I make my bangs straight, they come to my eyebrows, and the back of my hair doesnt come close to my shoulders at all) -I have brown hair and brown eyes -I don't have a lot of fancy clothes at all. My dad might have some because he's 50 but not sure. Also, I can't buy anything unless reasonably priced. -I'm 19 years old.. I look kind of young though um... if you need any other info let me know! please help! thanks!!! pictures or links will help!!

Tips for redecorating my bedroom? I would like to redecorate my bedroom this week while the hubby (A fussy metrosexual with an interior design degree and who has redone the whole house in italian modern) is gone. I figure I should get atleast one room in my style! I love the glamour of the 1920's, flappers and old hollywood and would like to do my room in this theme. http://www.secondlooks.net/Gallery4/Hobbies/images/PA120020ee.jpg I have a vanity that looks a bit like this, but mine is walnut I have a Black brass bed with deep red taffeta bedding and gold throw pillows, I also have some misc things like a vintage radio, vintage 1920's dresses, old shawls etc. I have a cool lamp and chair, both with leopard print. So that is what I have to work with. What prints, acsessories, misc furniture, etc etc etc could you suggest. I guess what I need an nice atmosphere to the room, so any suggestions, would be appreciated!! I was thinking of using a movie like Chicago as an inspiration. My favorite colors to decorate are golds, deep red, rich blue, white, black. I love the sleekness art Deco, some Victorian is nice, but too much is over kill for me.

What wedding dress would I look good in? I am 5' 3" 120 lbs and a 36 D. I definitely want to emphasize my bust line, but in a classy way. All the internet advice is about how to minimize a large bust, thats not for me I want to show off. I'd love something that shows off an hour glass shape. I'd love a corset or corset like top. I am short, but being short doesn't bother me at all. i hate straight dresses. I dont care if a ball gown makes me look shorter. I'd like either mermaid or ballgown. I cant decide if i want to go old hollywood glamour or fairy tale princess or something else. And i would like my dress to set the tone of the rest of my wedding. So please help me. Picture examples would be super appreciated! ok, no pervy answers please. I don't want to be slutty or make other men jealous. I have been with my fiancee for about 6 years, since we were 16, and its going to take alot to take his breath away.

How should I accessorize this red vintage gown? My prom is coming up in less than a month. Luckily I have my dress but I am still in a pickle when it comes to accessorizing. I am told that the traditional way to accessorize a red gown like mine would be with either silver or champagne colored shoes and glitzy crystal accessories, however that is not my cup of tea. I wish to accessorize with black, however I don't want it to look too harsh. I still want to keep some of that old Hollywood glamour that my 50's dress in channeling. I need suggestions! Here is a photograph of the dress by the way. :) http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q246/Protest-Love/?action=view&current=P1010604.jpg

Need Help With Bedroom Redecorating!!!? I am 15 years old and really want to redecorate my bedroom. I have a pretty big bedroom but it doesnt get much light. I am on a very limited budget but I am willing to do a lot off making stuff. I need a room that I can sleep in, work in, chill out in, dress in and read in. I really like the idea of having divided areas. My walls are a plain cream but I can't do any painting coz we don't own the house. Here are some themes that I like: Old Romantic Exotic India Imperial Asia Eclectic Enthic Moroccan Bohemian Arabian Night Greek/Roman Mythology Celestial Georgian Victorian Egyptian Gothic Medieval/Camelot Old Hollywood Glamour Romantic French/ Moulin Rouge Phantom of the Opera Oriental I have a lot of stuff and like it that way. I want my room to feel cosy and unique. Any ideas for any of these themes would be really appreciated, or even theme ideas that you think I would like. I want my room to feel smaller, coz I feel more comfortable in a small room than a room full of space. I am also very mature for my age so I don't want it to resemble a childs room. Another theme that I like the sound of is a Gypsy theme. My ceiling is also really high so I may have some problems hnaging stuff, although I would like to. I would really like my ceiling to look lower if that is at all possible. My carpet is a whitish/creamish colour, so covering it up would be good coz then it would be easier to keep clean.

What do you think about this dress for charity ball? The theme is Old Hollywood glamour and it is a lot less formal than homecoming. I would like know what you think about this one I picked out: http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=dress&product%5Fid=2000008514&Page=4&pgcount=25 I have really cute black ankle booties (no heels) that I could wear with it. What would I wear on my legs to keep them warm since the dress is so short.... would black tights or leggings look better? As for hair, should I curl my hair and then do a half-up do with a flower? As for makeup, should I keep it pretty neutral with a bold red lip or what?

Which style of wedding dress? I'm trying to decide between two styles of wedding dresses. One is more practical while the other is more fashionable. Dress #1 is a strapless, A-line satin ballgown with a fitted bodice. Dress #2 is a satin sheath dress (slightly flared toward the hem) with a halter top and a low back. Part of me likes Dress #1 because it wouldn't require "creative" shaping undergarments and I could just wear a strapless bra. I wouldn't figet with the dress all day, which is nice. My only problem with Dress #1 is that it reminds me too much of a prom dress. Dress #2 is appealing because it reminds me of "old Hollywood" glamour and would be more form-fitting. I'm hesitant about Dress #2 because it would require double-sided tape or some outrageous bra. Also, I'm sort of self-conscious about my midriff so I would need shapewear underneath. For background, I'm 24, just shy of 5'8" and basically an hourglass shape (proportional hips and, um, chest.) I weigh about 150 pounds.

Thanks. By the way I already have a black and white strapless, knee-length polka dotted dress if you wanna do anything with that.

Answer depending on your style. for me (old hollywood glamour style is what i fancy the most) the 5 top must haves are a really great pair of alligator pumps (or faux, depending on your views) and a great matching handbag. a really nice pair of diamond earrings and a really great diamond necklass. and of course a classy little black dress. these are recommended by my favorite fashion designer and his work is brilliant. So, depending on your personal style, what are the must haves for your closet?
I'm stuck between to 2 choices what to wear, 10 points for best answer? Ok, I have won a competition for a free photoshoot and I'm thinking to have a old hollywood glamour feel to it. Now for the photoshoot you need 3 outfits - one nice daytime dress, evening dress and lingerie/bikini (if you prefer , but why not you only live life once). I know what I'm going to wear for the daytime and evening one, I'm having dillemas with the bikini/lingerie , the question is should I go for bikini or lingerie? I have a 1950's style white bikini I can wear which would be really cute or I have a black underbust corset (real steel boned one) which I would wear with matching underwear , stockings and my killer high heels :P. I can't decide which one, I like the idea of both but I think the bikini would be easier since its less hassle to dress and undress
How can I complete this look (for prom)? My prom is tomorrow evening (yes, I realize I'm figuring all of this out rather last-minute). I want my look to be somewhat reminiscent of "Old Hollywood glamour," but without going overboard and looking like I'm wearing a costume. This is my dress: http://www.findmypromdress.com/images/09_flirt/flirt-p1368.jpg And from the back: http://www.findmypromdress.com/images/09_flirt/flirt-p1368_01.jpg I have silver heels, but you can barely see them beneath the dress. I am planning on wearing a short strand of pearls. I am getting my nails done today (just a manicure, not fake nails) and my hair done tomorrow. I plan on doing my own make-up (nothing too show-y). I think the dress is attention-grabbing enough, so I don't want to have metallic nails, loads of make-up, etc. In terms of the make-up, if it helps to know, I am fair-skinned and have hazel eyes. As for the hair, it is past shoulder length and is naturally wavy (occasionally more curly than wavy). With all of that in mind, my question is this: What would you recommend for this look in terms of nail color, hairstyle, and make-up? I have no idea what would look good with a red dress.

Has the glamour disappeared from life? Glamour seems to have ceased to be something to aspire to. I love the appeal of the 1950’s and the idea of dressing up and making an effort. Taking time over your hair and makeup and basically saying to yourself that you are worth the effort. http://silverscreensirens.com/images/015_elizabeth_taylor_young_glamorous.jpg Maybe it is just the amount of access there is to the modern celebrities. There are photos of them shopping, eating, walking their dogs and jogging. I think this proximity has lessened the mystery surrounding them. There just seems to be less glamour in the world, Hollywood and beyond, and celebrity seems far more attainable. Reality T.V. and the like give far more people their 15 minutes of fame. http://www.thoughttheater.com/MarilynMonroe.jpg I remember watching the old films with Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner and Elizabeth Taylor and thinking they were another species! They were so glamorous and there was something about the polished look and the effort it took to maintain it that appealed to me. The idea of being a bombshell and loving yourself and celebrating who you are just seemed wonderful. http://www.hollywoodyesterday.com/AvaGardner576.gif What has replaced glamour? Do you think there are modern celebrities that could count as being glamorous?
