I just love this period in time (swinging 60s)! Especially in Europe. There was such great style and music...
I watched my favorite movie, An Education (with Carey Mulligan), yesterday that is set in around the same period as Birkin lived, and the whole music culture of that era just fascinates me.

Sound off:
What's your favorite time period and why?

I can't wait to hear your responses!

Shine On

I have been having a random sunglass obsession recently. I think its because I just noticed how much a great pair of sunglasses adds a look. I am still in love with my big, H&M, cat eye sunnies from the summer, even though I haven't gotten a chance to wear them recently. It is raining cats and dogs today :(

I am absolutely in love with Snejana's sunglasses. They are so gorgeous and cool and sleek and perfect.

Sneak Preview: H&M and Lanvin Collaboration

The first photo is out from H&M's collaboration with Lanvin (probably their best collaboration ever). I am so excited to see the full collection! From the looks of this first photo, it looks like we can expect classic Lanvin statements (sleek black with exaggerated elements) from this collaboration. So excited for this to come out in stores! Not sure I will actually buy any of these pieces because they are sort of impractical for my everyday life (and in H&M's videos it was insinuated that they would be a bit on the pricier end), but man would I love to try all of this collection on!

Coco-ism

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."



~ Coco Chanel

So true Coco...

Collar

I love Cleopatra collars! When I was in Morroco I found an old (about 1950's) necklace that was really similar with an engraving of Nefertiti on the front.

Tres Chic- some French inspiration

This is an article by Ellen Wallace in the August 1982 issue of Cosmopolitan that the Dead Fleurette posted recently (that I think is still very relevant today) about what makes the French so darn chic. Enjoy!

Oui…Parisians always manage to look fantastique — even in “les blue jeans.” Jet with us then to cafe-lined boulevards and learn about French fashion flair!
The one thing they don’t tell you in travel brochures about Paris is the first thing every visitor notices: People stare. They stare at you; they stare at everybody. And everybody stares back.
My first taste of this phenomenon terrified me. I was wearing an overloaded backpack and a wrinkled black dress, which I had slept in on the train. My mascara was mostly on my cheeks. I wanted desperately to be inconspicuous, but there they were, all those terrible suave-looking Frenchmen I had heard about, staring right at me. I wanted to melt into the sidewalk! There was also no way to avoid noticing something else: Those French girls look better than we do. Of course, the mysterious allure of the French woman is nothing new. She has been the target of love, lust, and intrigue in hundreds of books and films. Remember Gigi, that innocent heartbreaker? And Edith Piaf, the enigmatic, real-life heroine who stunned the world with her gutsy love songs? Not to mention the quasi-Parisiennes — protagonists of a dozen American novels who left home frumpy and meek, only to return from Paris a year later ravishing and self-assured. After devouring those stories, I could never quite give up the notion that a few months in France and — voila! — I would be magically transformed.
