Oh the hair!

We went to a masquerade party on Saturday night. Not having much to wear (or fit into) I decided to pay attention to the hair ... I went to a Lindy Charm School workshop in July and it has taken me this long to start experimenting with my hair.

The mask is made by my hubby and I and was made for the Labyrinth Ball a few years back. Due to my *cough* condition, I can't actually fit into the matching costume at the moment.

If you are interested, the Lindy Charm School for Girls have regular workshops in Melbourne and they teach you how to put your hair into rolls and buns that echo the styles of the 1920's - 1950's. Head along with a group of girlfriends and have a great afternoon over some champagne and hair spray. It is actually a lot easier to put your hair into rolls than it looks. Once you have the knack of it, 5-10 minutes in the morning is all it takes!

So get onto their mailing list (as the workshops sell out fast) and check out their page of links which has some clicks to some lovely blogs and web sites such as Super Kawaii Mama and Circa Vintage Clothing.

Lindy Charm School

I was blessed to be able to attend the Lindy Charm School Melbourne Workshop today at Father Flanagan's in Collingwood.

The lovely Nicole Jenkins from Circa Vintage on
Gertrude Street who was one
of the models for the day.

The workshop entailed all things vintage; makeup, hair and the importance of good foundation garments. Lots of tips and hints on how to get that desired "vintage" look. For me, I walked away with the knowledge of tools and equipment needed to get the look that I sometimes want. I definitely need to go shopping for some of that equipment next week.

It was wonderful to see a room full of 2010 looking women transported back to 1940s and looking very gorgeous and glamorous by the end of it all.

I would highly recommend attending one of their workshops when they come down to Melbourne again.
