It’s another High-Five Friday!

1 Josi at The Daily Beauty Break has a great tutorial on getting — and keeping — those sexy, glamorous red lips.

2 Speaking of red lips… Alessia at Relationship Underarm Stick dishes about men & red lipstick.

3 Deanna at Collectors’ Quest has an excellent guide to the care & repair of vintage jewelry.

4 Since many vintage jewelry pieces (as well as accessories such as purses, belts and shoes) are made of or have parts made of Lucite, Bakelite and celluloid, also see Deanna’s super guide to identification and care of vintage plastics.

5 Laura at Fashion Fix shows us a cute swinging 60’s coat. OK, so it’s not a guide — but it’s adorable!
