The 60s (and the 70s) for Spring 2012

In my previous post, I mentioned that the 1960s/1970s is also going to be a trend for Spring 2012. I apologize for the delay in this post (obviously I got distracted by so many things these past few weeks...!!) But, here we go. I love to see how the 60s/70s have been beautifully adapted to today's fashion! Some of my faves are below. Which one is yours? Be sure to check 'em out in store!

Splurge in Holiday Party Clutches

Club Monaco's Cora Wristlet



Anthropologie's Elena Clutch


Club Monaco's Jade Shoulder Bag


Zara's Fringed Wallet Chain

A few days ago I posted vintage-themed holiday party dresses. Today, as I was browsing for holiday gifts, I found gorgeous clutches that I think would look really cute with the dresses. I told myself that I just had to do a separate post on this and share these with you! Time to splurge on accesories to add accent to your holiday outfits :) The holiday gift wish list will come in the next post!

DIY Vintage Dress Up

It's a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and I am feeling my creative juice is flowing! So, I decided to play vintage dress up! While I love real vintage clothing (and I do have them in my closet), I wanted to mix and match a couple of other items in my closet. Ta-Daah. Here's what I come up with. The cozy and warm white faux fur vest is from H&M for $14.95. The maxi dress and the postman bag are also from H&M. The hat is from Zara and the necklace is from Urban Outfitters. Ciao, I hope you are enjoying your Saturday afternoon! Off to running my weekend errands now.

Some vintage look

This is what I found during my black friday shopping last weekend. I thought I'd have some fun creating a vintage look. The 1970's print dress, flapper hat and faux leather postman bag are from H&M, the Bass loafer shoes are from DSW and the chunky cable knit cardigan is from Zara. The camera is a vintage Minolta Dimage 7i, which I just bought to start learning photography. I hope you like this outfit!
