My absolute favorites are Victoria's Secrets Cheekini and Hiphuggers.  They are very pretty and very comfortable. 
I'm trying to get some woman's shoes that I can wear everyday.  That's what I'm stuck on, although I purchased a pretty pair of pink sneakers for men (yes for men, they support breast cancer awareness) from Amazon and I love them and wear them allot.   But I need some pretty

black casual looking shoes with an appropriate looking heal...

I'm working toward wearing eyeliner and mascara.  Has anyone been successful in pulling this off in guy mode?

First off, check out the Payless Shoes website. They have a huge variety of styles and sizes. I got a couple of really comfortable pairs of flats that I wear around the house all of the time. I also got some really pretty heels, which I'm using for practice. Finally, I got some really great low-cut boots with a modest heel that I'm currently wearing right now. Although women's boots, they are unisex enough to not look too feminine while I'm wearing my regular male attire. I love them.

Since I'm presenting in guy mode most of the time, I've put the eyeliner aside for now, but during the summer (I teach) I began to wear it all of the time. I really liked it, and got only a few odd looks. The only times that anybody mentioned anything to me was when they said that I seem to be going for a more Gothic look. Apparently the eyeliner paired with the black fingernails delivered that impression. It's fine, I do have some goth leanings anyway, so whatever.

Eyebrows, eyeliner and mascara are next on my list!  I've been thinking about women's deodorant but figured I would wait until I begin HRT in February.  By the way LHR on your underarms is amazing!

You may not need deodorant after starting HRT. I don't anymore

I switched over to wearing a few v neck t-shirts (hot pink and florescent yellow) layered with button down shirts over then (all from American Eagle).  In the future I'll go for the woman's v neck t shirts.  I would love to get some woman's button down tops but I think that's too obvious with the buttons on the opposite side.  Has anyone tried this in guy mode before?

I was wearing women's clothes before coming out. Nobody noticed, or at least nobody said anything. I think it was because I wasn't very "woman-shaped" (a term I hate since it reinforces sexism)

Some flats are very androgynous. I stuck with women's Vans shoes. I also skate a lot so yeah, nobody noticed.... Except the ones that had flower print...

I was wearing makeup (foundation, blush, and mascara) daily for about 5 months before coming out at non-gender. Then I progressively presented more and more femme once I was out at work.

I am wearing a slipdress in bed (softer and more comfortable than anything I have worn so far) and I have been wearing a scarf with a floral print for a few weeks months ago. Nobody has ever stared at me or asked me why I was wearing it; or maybe I am just oblivious . You could try using make up and wearing womens' clothes if you are all by yourself. For mannerisms... I personally don't think there is a lot of difference between female and male behaviour and I don't think there are a lot of quirks you can specify as feminine or masculine.
