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.

If you’re this close to packing up your bikini bottoms, hold it right there! The dog days of summer aren’t over yet. Have you seen the weather forecast this week? It’s not exactly sweater weather.

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.

The Best One-Piece Swimsuits to Wear This Summer Are...

2018-05-17T16:46:00-07:00

Did swim season sneak up on you? Let me give you the CliffNotes: It’s a fashion free-for-all. I’m talking polka dots, one-shoulder, ruffles, high-waisted, stripes, belted, you name it. But the one thing we can all agree upon is the one-piece swimsuit. This classic silhouette has been making a comeback for a few seasons now, and it’s officially here to stay. The best part of all? It flatters every shape and size. So long teeny bikini.

The iconic red one-piece swimsuit was popularized by Baywatch in the 90s and received a sleek overall for 2018. The cage-front detail adds a hint of skin without revealing too much.
