And, in fact, if you, like me, own tons of flimsy dresses, you've still got a couple of months' mileage out of them, as long as you invent in plenty of seamed stockings and some slips. I find wearing a Swirl (for example) with stockings isn't that wise without a slip, because ten steps up the road, the static cling has resulted in a lovely ruched mini-skirt look as the hem rises up above my knees! I have an old half-slip of my mum's, which is great, but full length slips can be found in charity shops, eBay and old lady departments of shops and are definitely worth investment. Many girls also prefer tights, but I find stockings to be much more practical, not least because if you ladder one, you've still got one left! I live in What Katie Did Retro Seams in nude - they are surprisingly durable. Make sure you get a six-strap suspender belt with proper metal clips - 4-straps and flimsy little things with plastic ends will neither keep your stockings up for long, nor keep them straight (the key ones are at the back, keeping everything in a line).

Autumn is really all about separates for me - trousers, skirts and blouses with sweaters, cardigans and jackets. It's no secret that I have loads of Heyday trousers - I was a customer of Shona's for years until I became her model. I like the fit best, and the fact that she lengthens them and adjusts the waist size for me. If you prefer a more authentic fit, with a long crotch and a slightly tapered leg, have a look at Vivien of Holloway. Their trousers don't work for anyone too tall though, sadly. Check out VoH's range of tops too - peasant and button-up blouses work brilliantly with trousers. Heyday has some lovely new blouse fabrics coming in for the autumn. Here's a sneak peek from our shoot yesterday...
The blouse, with its beautiful art deco-esque print is the Olivia and if you'd like one, you'll have to hold your horses for a few more days until our official pictures are done! I'll let you all know, of course. But you needn't look any further than the high street for basics like blouses. Look for peter pan collars, puff sleeves and pintucks and other nice details - all can be quite authentic.
Skirts, if you're into a 1940s look, should be a-line or straightish - not too full and not too pencil-y. I have some lovely vintage wool skirts from eBay - I think they might be 50s rather than 40s, but still look great. One place to turn to for repros is Top Runway. I sent the helpful lady there some pattern pictures and she reproduced me some great 8-gore skirts and a 30s style one with straps. She also does some super dresses - the fabric she uses is too hot for summer, but perfect for autumn. You could always request some swatches, too.
I love my jumpers and cardis, and have a few from Rocket Originals. I adore their square-necked fairisle sweaters, and check out this new nautical style number! I just saw it when getting the link! A bit more 50s, but really cute. I also love Dressing4Impressing, another UK company making lovely sweaters and cardigans in 40s and 50s styles. They also do some really great 40s blouses.
Top two Rocket, bottom two D4I!
Once again, you can pick up vintage inspired knits from the mainstream shops, too. Brit girls, try Dorothy Perkins, Marks and Sparks and even H&M - I've found great things there before.
Jackets are an autumn staple. Look on eBay US and Etsy for orphaned suit jackets - they're usually much more affordable than whole suits. I have posted my La Riviera jackets on here before, usually resulting in people asking where they can buy one - the answer being that they don't have a website.

Well, I just discovered somewhere selling them! Hynotique Vintage has a selection of the 'ski' jackets and also the shorter ones, which are a lot like the above one on the divine Rita in Cover Girl!
Kate, from here.
As far as shoes go, I like to still wear my peep-toe sandals in autumn, along with stockings or pop-socks they are warm enough. I love cheap Keds-style plimsolls too, when it's dry. But now is the time to invest in some Kate Hepburn-esque flat oxfords or saddle shoes. You lucky Americans have lots of easy options for saddle shoes, but UK ladies can get them from Rocket Originals again. There are some great, girly flat oxfords and brogues in Office at the moment. But none so fabulous as these 30s-inspired court shoes! Ooh, someone lend me 80 quid! ;)
That's about it for autumn vintage fashion tips - I will be saving up my winter ones for a few months' time. Hope some of these links are of help to someone out there!

(JTA) — J Street has the backing of the major Jewish domestic policy umbrella organization in its bid to join the major foreign policy umbrella organization.
The ballot next week of the 50 or so constituent groups of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations is secret, but the Jewish Council for Public Affairs reached out to JTA to say it would vote in favor of admitting J Street to the conference.
"They're an important part of the Jewish community," JCPA's president, Rabbi Steve Gutow, said. "They fit in the picture of a big tent, which is the kind of community we believe in strongly."
The Forward reported on April 11 that J Street faces hurdles in next Wednesday's vote. The dovish Israel policy group meets the administrative requirements to join the conference, but it failed to win the endorsement of its membership committee.
According to the Forward, members of the membership committee "grilled" J Street's president, Jeremy Ben-Ami, armed with arguments from the group's hawkish critics.
J Street bills itself as "the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans." It is unstinting in its criticism of settlement expansion and strongly supports the current Iran nuclear talks, which the Israeli government sees as giving up too much too soon to the Islamic Republic.
Gutow and JCPA's senior vice president, Martin Raffel, said that they consulted with Susan Turnbull, the newly elected JCPA chairwoman, and decided to make their vote public in a bid to influence others.
"We'd like to encourage others to join us," Raffel said.
J Street, according to the Forward, would require two-thirds of the vote at a session attended by at least 75 percent of the Presidents Conference's member groups.
"If the fact that a basically centrist organization is supporting them helps people make the decision to support them, I'm happy to make JCPA available," Gutow said.
Both Raffel and Gutow cited J Street's cooperation with JCPA in lobbying left-leaning mainline Protestant churches to reject divestment campaigns targeting Israel. Raffel said the importance of J Street lay in part in building a "firewall" between the anti-Israel left and the left in general. "Who better to do that than the Zionist left?" he asked.
Both Raffel and Gutow said that they did not agree with all of J Street's stances but believed in broadening the community tent — as well as sticking up for one's friends.
"That's part of being a community. You count on each other to help a community reflect its values. In terms of Israel, J Street has been there very strongly for us," Gutow said, referring to the pushback against church divestment efforts.

Suryadipta said
the effect of the most important explanatory variable on the
dependent variable is subject to whether countries are widely
different in terms of their institutions. For countries that are
similar in their institutional structure, this explanatory variable is
not important in explaining (changes in) the dependent variable. Can
anyone suggest/point me towards proper econometric tests in this case?
If the effect of X depends on institutiional factor Z, then you should be using an interaction of X and Z (as well as a main effect of Z) because you want dY/dX to differ according to a country's level of Z.
