Twofer Tuesday - 60s Inspiration for Fall

Decade inspirations are constantly in and out of fashion. 60s fashion, in particular, is always relevant and modernly interpreted with each season. AW12/13 has a new interpreted revival with 60s classic cuts, prints, and style!

It's so easy to draw inspiration from the 60s! Remember when Elle discussed retro magazine covers? Gorgeous!


"From swirly lava-lamp-esque prints to Missoni zig-zags, bright paisleys, and flower power prints" - StyleSight


"A-line skirts that hold their shape...Patch pockets or buckles for 1960s retro appeal" - StyleSight


"Mod-influenced looks draw from early 60s London / Boyish tailored looks...Theboxy coat is a key item / Contrast elements like piping, waistband or collar" - StyleSight


"Updated by clean, bold colors / Slim silhouettes / Double breasted suiting is essential / Patterned silks and cotton as well as shaved velvets and lightweight brocade" - StyleSight

While these trends are gorgeous, the looks from StyleSight aren't exactly affordable for everyone! Lucky for you, it's Twofer Tuesday and I've researched some great alternatives at a good price!













Are you excited about these modern 60's inspired pieces? Which one will you be picking up??

Magazine Monday- Retro Magazine Covers

There was something about women in the 60s and 70s that made them seem so effortlessly glamorous, so carelessly decadent.  The ladies on the covers of magazines during these decades were never trying too hard to look sexy, or confident, or innocent, or however they were looking. They just WERE sexy, or confident, or innocent.  

I think that maybe the women in fashion during these times (and women in general for that matter) were being liberated, and this is why they appeared so casually beautiful.  Women were finally allowed to be who they really were, without so many stipulations. This translated to the fashion industry. The top models were finally more than clothes hangers, they were women with names at the very top of the industry. And they looked the part:








Which retro fashion magazine cover is your favorite? I truly can't chose! They're all so beautiful-and through imagery, set an example of liberated femininity that we should continue to cherish.
