Toast & Jam, Berlin's Vintage Fashion Fair

For the first time ever Berlin is having a vintage fashion fair called Toast & Jam. The name plays on Bread & Butter which is the name of the fashion week fair hosted at Tempelhof Airport across the street. I'll be there on the 19th and 20th of January at the Etsy booth and my fabulous assistant will be there on Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening there will also be a burlesque show at the closing party. Yowsa!

Here's a preview of a few of the items I'll have there for sale (not including a truly adorable cream-colored vintage 1950s taffeta dress!)

Vintage Make-Up Tips

I've recently realized that I have no idea how to properly apply make-up, especially for taking photographs. Whenever I put on eye makeup my eyes looked automatically smaller and I always looked way too pale and unglamorous when I posed in the vintage clothing I sell on Curious Knopf.

Well, all I have to say is thank god for the internet. Last night I got some tips on vintage make-up from Super Kawaii Mama. You can see the results in the photographs above. I'm wearing a fair amount of make-up in both, but it still looks natural and not too made up but also not too underdone. The two videos I watched are below. I like how down to earth she is and pleasant to listen to which is good because she has a lot of other great videos to watch.
