One thing I've found to help with the denting with sponge rollers is using less hair in each roller, and then just brushing it out really well. Once I do that I don't notice any denting. Though you could try pillow rollers too! I forgot about those. They're similar to sponge rollers but don't have a bar to make dents. I use them when I roll my bangs backwards b/c the dent would be totally visible on the top of my head otherwise. No way to brush those ones out. :)<br /><br /><br />@<a href="#c2933638878574602736" rel="nofollow">Gabriela Von Bohlen</a> Coats are a problem you're right. I once got rid of a gorgeous vintage dress coat because it weighed a million pounds but wasn't warm, so it was sadly kind of useless.Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-29336388785746027362011-02-13T08:20:35.469-06:002011-02-13T08:20:35.469-06:00Lucky you!

I've yet to get a decent set from sponge rollers: I just end up with weird bumps all over where the little bar crimped my hair. And hot sets just fall out the second I take the rollers out!

Always happy to help tip someone off about shoes. :)<br /><br />@<a href="#c8685011214844325635" rel="nofollow">Lauren</a> Well they are certainly not as warm as real winter boots, but I wasn't expecting them to be. Plus I wasn't buying them to be daily wear boots, more like boots to wear going out when I don't want to have to look like a doofus in my real cold-weather boots while simultaneously not wanting to freeze my tootsies off. They worked well. I wore them with tights and thin socks. I did a good bit of walking around outside and it was probably in the 20s out, and I felt they did their job well. If I'd bought a half size up, I would wear them with wool ankle socks and I think that would be ideal. But I'm definitely happy with their performance. :)Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-86850112148443256352011-02-12T13:40:58.199-06:002011-02-12T13:40:58.199-06:00Are those actually warm?

And our silly winter isn't ANYTHING compared to what you guys are experiencing.<br /><br />I have been on the hunt for cute vintage-inspired winter boots for over a year now and I have found two reasonably good solutions, but they both have heels, which doesn't always make them the most practical. AND they a suede. Stupid.I have some actual vintage ankle boots - not unlike the cute ones you found - but since they are truly vintage, I worry about wearing them all the time and ruining them.<br /><br />I think I may follow suit and order a pair of these you found. Though I think I'll have to get them in the white fleece version as the black/black ones don't come in my size. Hell the black/white ones don't come in my size either, but 5.5 is closer than 6.<br /><br />You have inspired me to post about my own shoe quandary now! (if I ever have a moment this weekend. Or this month. Uhg. Life overload.)Moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462484062508881226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-68909710413821565762011-02-11T18:10:47.401-06:002011-02-11T18:10:47.401-06:00I LOVE that you collect Primrose!

I don't have enough patience for pin curls. I either use sponge rollers, Hot Sticks or hot rollers, which I did today. The heated sets don't last well on me but I've been too lazy to properly let my hair dry long enough for sponge rollers! Hard to have your hair damp that long in winter. ;PTashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659360650582709851.post-28304582821575231722011-02-11T17:10:00.916-06:002011-02-11T17:10:00.916-06:00You are so good!

Yup, I am a complete wimp when it comes to the cold. <br />I did exactly the same thing looking for a cute but Midwest practical pair of boots: I love the ones you found! They really do have great vintage styling. <br />Do you pin curl your hair? I am so envious of how pretty your hair always looks.Moxie Tonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306402827007809895noreply@blogger.com
