60's Dolls

Ever since my mom introduced me to the wonderful fashion of the 60's through her love for the popular series That Girl, and the fabulous Marlo Thomas I have showed some favoritism to the era in my style choices. You can see more inspiration on my Pinterest Board The Art of Dressing.

This calls for a chalkboard moment, no?

One of the shops I merchandised for the company's early Spring floor-set just so happened to be a shop named 60's Dolls. Love

Shorts (see more navy shorts)

Visit an F21 and you'll find a room full of sweet polka dots, peter pan collars, pastels with pops of neon, skinny black pants, bows, shift dresses, and oh- my -word it is sweet :-)

I leave you with an image of my fave 60's inspiration: Brigitte Bardot, of course!

P.S. Does it bother anyone else that the retail industry can never live in the moment season-wise? We're in resort-bikini mode in the industry and lets just say I'm not there yet ;)

Pantone, a company that produces, well, COLOR, has announced the color they have created for 2012. Pantone is essentially the ultimate authority on color....I mean think of a color. Tiffany Blue? Yup. Pantone created and protected it under a private color trademark. Pretty cool, right? As you've probably figured out, Tangerine Tango is the color for 2012, and it has been reflected in the coming fashions! I think it's warm, invigorating and fresh. What do you think? Do you own any tangerine pieces already ?
