Gobble Up These Festive Holiday Styles

2020-11-22T14:43:09-08:00

'Tis the season for big ol' turkeys and cranberry sauce, for stockings by the fire, and that toy train daddy sets up 'neath the Christmas tree. It's also the season for family get-togethers (albeit small and possibly over Skype). It's the time of year for small gathering Christmas parties and gift exchanges where, despite the smaller numbers, in no way means a smaller wardrobe for all those halls your going to deck or the goblets full of eggnog you'll consume. Because even though this year is quite literally the worst, it should not (and will not) keep you from enjoying every last moment of the holidays in the primmest and most festive of outfits. So take that, 2020!

70s Glam is Making a Major Comeback

2018-10-18T08:09:00-07:00

Just as the flower power movement of the late 60s began to wilt, a glitter phenomenon known as glam rock rolled onto the scene. For the next decade, denim-clad hippies gave way to larger-than-life characters, like David Bowie, Alice Cooper, and the New York Dolls, who popularized a mix of avant-garde decadence, science fiction, and theatrical excess. Fast forward to today, and you'll notice that silhouettes were updated and the color palette was tweaked, but the spirit of 70s glam is still alive and well.

What would glam rock be without a little glitz and glitter? Bring on the shimmer with a disco dream dress that’s fit for any holiday party.

1970s Fashion Trends Making a Comeback This Summer

2018-08-09T18:00:00-07:00

The 70s have long been described as “the decade that style forgot,” but designers are on a mission to change that mindset. For years, the sartorial hallmarks of the disco era have flooded the runways; bell-bottoms, shearling, suede, bohemian dresses — you name it, we’ve seen it. Of course, the silhouettes have been tweaked and the warm color palette anchored by burnt orange, mustard, and avocado has broadened its spectrum. But the feel-good essence of the free-wheeling decade remains. Now this is a version of the 70s we can get behind.

It wouldn’t be a 70s revival without peace, love and whole lot of patchwork. Pair this lightweight songbird jacket with a monochromatic jumpsuit and top it off with a wide-brimmed felt hat.
