8.5.2009 Legumes of the Week

• Couture Allure Vintage Fashion shows us how to enter and leave the room like a lady (and more... much more).

• Button Candy has the most amazing wall of sweet little vintage treasures I've ever seen.

• Mochi Mag on the gorgeous Korean hanbok (on a totally random note, I sometimes wonder why the qipao and not the hanfu had to become traditional Chinese dress for formal occasions. The qipao I wore at my wedding was beautiful, but so uncomfortable!)

• Tarts on how macarons are the new cupcakes (I loved this entry because I've been noticing the same thing myself, even here in Taipei. Macarons everywhere!)

• Moodboard with a short but very cool post about girls and their rooms.

• A beautiful and inspiring star crown at Some Girls Wander.

• The Cupcake Diary's very thoughtful post on the emotional tug of old family photos and films (even if they belong to someone else's family).

• Fleur de Guerre's extremely helpful post on achieving lovely results with a vintage-inspired skin routine at Queens of Vintage. I've been using cold cream and witch hazel for a little bit now and really like them (for one thing, I'm sensitive to scents and the smell of cold cream is nowhere near as noxious as the perfumes most skin cleansers have. Ugh! My nostrils scream for mercy.)

Have a great middle of the week everyone!
