The Waiting is the Hardest Part 2008-09-17 17:48:35 There's nothing like hearing music you love to change your mood. My handsome husband knows this, so anytime I'm getting.....er.....cranky.....he throws on some Tom Petty for me. Either Tom or DJ Herbie James, but Herbie deserves a post all of his own, so for now well talk Tom.The first album I bought from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was "Long After Dark". I remember scraping together my allowa Read more:Waiting
Pirates raid the runway! 2008-09-10 12:27:02 If there's one thing Betsey Johnson never fails to do, it's entertain! Yes, I know I've been slightly....mmmm.... apathetic about fashion week this year, but Betsey has managed to kick my fashion loving butt back into Ready To Wear heaven! Now, her collection is......how shall I put this?......weird, theatrical, exuberant, over-the-top, and just friggin' awesome! Skulls, pirates, tulle and corsets Read more:Pirates
Who's got Hippie Chic Style for 2009? 2008-09-09 21:56:53 It's that time again....New York Fashion Week! So far there are two runway shows that have woken me up from my nap, Miss Sixty and surprisingly, Diane von Furstenberg. Miss Sixty has a fun, hip seventies vibe that is playful and wearable, something much needed in fashion right now. The kicker for me was the balloon-gaucho-short-pants that sauntered down the catwalk, very reminiscent of the ones Bl Read more:Style
I'm feelin' 80's today 2008-09-08 18:17:22 Well, the storm "Hanna" has officially passed here....I think hurricane "Ike" is down to a category 1 and is still headed to Texas though......watch out G.W.!!! (*ha ha*) Anyway, I got to thinking about the storms of life and this song by Triumph came to mind. Granted, it's not my usual 60's/70's hippie vibe, but just for the record, my profile states that I slip into an 80's mood occasionally....
I love trippy color patterns BUT.... 2008-09-04 22:37:18 This colorful pattern is not one I relished viewing this morning! It seems as though "Hanna" is headed directly for us. She is supposed to be Hurricane strength by the time she makes landfall.Having lived in Florida, I've been through several hurricanes that were much stronger, so this a just a "party storm", but still the thought of loosing power makes me wince.Now what's even more ridiculous tha
Rock n Roll Royalty 2008-09-02 17:18:39 This beautiful creature is Georgia May Jagger, the youngest love child of Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall. She definitely has her mom's good looks and her dads famous lips, which have garnered the attention of the press and several modeling agencies. This year just after her 16th birthday, she signed with Elite Model Management and graced the cover of Dazed and Confused magazine. I'm lovin'
Shine on You Crazy Diamond 2008-09-01 19:37:34 Recently Swarovski commissioned several leading designers to create looks incorporating their famous crystals, for the "Runway Rocks Project". Normally I would say, "O.K., that's kinda cool, I dig their shiny crystals, whatever.", but it was the futuristic extravaganza (pictured above) that made me take notice. The outfit is titled "It's a Beautiful Life" and is made by none other than the fabulou Read more:Shine

THANKS BURDA STYLE! 2008-10-06 10:43:05 A special thanks to Burda Style for mentioning my vintage clothing store Future Hippie in their blog!

Use a concealer for blemishes, then a mineral foundation instead of a heavy cream, to keep the face light and fresh. * 2. Create a dramatic eye using either a colorful shadow, or a smoky shadow with emphas Read more:Makeup

Is it Zoe or Zoe? 2008-09-30 10:39:52 I love to talk about "Future Hippies", the kids growing up now, that are developing a style of their own, while taking cues from the original hippie generation. Zoe Kravitz, daughter of rockstar Lenny Kravitz, is perfect example of that, with her fun Bohemian influenced style. You can see more pics of Zoe and read about her in one of my earlier posts. The picture above is Zoe Kravitz with celebri
Boho Fashion & Design Ideas via Stevie 2008-09-25 21:53:34 It's raining out today, a perfect time to listen to Fleetwood Mac and have a nice relaxing vibe in the air. I'm especially moved by Stevie
Nicks voice, so unique and soothing. I've been looking for some Boho design inspiration lately, and found this awesome picture of Stevie's house that I had saved from a magazine a few years ago. Since then she has moved to a new penthouse, but at least you stil Read more:Fashion
Patricia Field on HSN What? 2008-09-22 12:49:04 I would have to say that PatriciaField
is my favorite fashion stylist of all time. What most people don't know is that she was an underground fashion icon long before designing for Sex and the City. I became a "regular" at Pat Field's while living in Chelsea in the early 90's. I was promoting parties in the Michael Todd room at the Palladium and having a delicious time at Limelight and the Sound Read more:Patricia Field

The Headband Trend 2008-10-28 16:24:02 If you are a fan of the 60's / 70's, you have probably donned a headband at some point. If you haven't incorporated it into your look, here's your chance! Headband
s are back, and they are more versatile than ever! Pick up any fashion magazine and you will see an array of stars sporting this look. In my search for cool headbands, I came across two noteworthy sites, which happen to also be fellow b
Veruschka + Hippie Makeup Sixties Style! 2008-10-26 15:47:56 If you are looking for inspiration for hippie makeup, the fabulous 60's model Veruschka, is a great place to start! She is well known for taking modeling to a whole new level by incorporating wild body paint into her shoots and working with famous artists. I recently posted a video showing backstage at Gucci's 2009 S/S RTW show, where world renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath, mentions Veruschka be Read more:Makeup

Why Frida Giannini is Awesome! Intermission 2008-10-24 15:42:50 Since we're on the subject of late 60's and early 70's fashion, I figured it would be a great time in between India Fashion Week posts, to show a clip from the Gucci 2009 S/S RTW show. If anybody has channeled that boho / hippie spirit, it's Frida
Giannini!
Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week 2008 Part 2 2008-10-20 19:58:52 Here is part 2 of the IndiaFashion
Week post, as promised. There were so many incredible shows this year that it's hard to pick just one. I will admit that Manish Arora (*gasp!*) was not my favorite. As much as I love Manish, I think his circus theme, although highly entertaining and true to his eccentric style, was a bit campy. I was hoping for more psychedelic and less clown-like.At the top of Read more:Wills
Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week 2008 Part 1 2008-10-18 14:39:43 Wills Lifestyle IndiaFashion
Week S/S 2008 is underway! Of course it is one of my favorite shows that takes place, due to the budding designers, trippy colors and overall hippie vibe. After all, the hippies were greatly influenced by Eastern designs and color in the late 60's, a trend that is resurfacing in the coming seasons. Rockstars and actors like Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Mia Farrow, Mick Read more:Wills
"Bride Wars" is coming! 2008-10-15 14:22:18 If there is one person I could pick to style it would be Kate Hudson. Kate manages to exude a confident hippie chic vibe whether the trend is in or out. She is always smiling and just seems like a fun person to be around. That's why I was thrilled when I found out she has been filming "Bride
Wars" along with Anne Hathaway who is best know for the movie "The Devil Wears Prada".Bride Wars is about t
Ritu's Runway Gypsies 2008-10-12 15:37:08 There are several designers rocking the Boho / Gypsy look for 2009 but when it comes to this style, there is a particular designer that comes to mind......her name is Ritu Kumar. Rita is from India and her pieces range from traditional Indian garb to flamboyant, well crafted flowing gypsy skirts and shawls. Some pieces are casual and some are glamorous, but it is a look that Ritu pulls off flawles Read more:Runway
Nicole Richie + Her Hippie Style 2008-11-19 11:25:05 I normally would refrain from posting about Nicole Richie
. Mainly because it's a given that she has a boho/hippie style, and also because SO many people blog about her, but I couldn't resist putting up these fabulous pics and also a short clip of her Harper's Bazaar photo shoot.I love that she's a fan of the 60's and 70's look and that she pulls it off effortlessly. I wonder if Rachel Zoe is silen Read more:Style

Here Comes the Sun! 2008-11-17 19:22:22 As I was waiting for my handsome husband to get his haircut last night, I noticed an issue of Fashion Rocks by Glamour magazine. I found this awesome shoot with Dhani Harrison, who is the son of George Harrison of the Beatles, and Sasha Pivovarova, russian super model extraordinaire. I quickly rushed to the stylist that was cutting his hair and politely begged to take the magazine home with me.Tha
Speaking of Sasha Pivovarova...... 2008-11-17 19:21:24 My last post featured Dhani Harrison and Sasha
Pivovarova, who is one of my favorite models. Little did I know that she is John Galliano's "new face" for the upcoming seasons! She just wrapped up a shoot in Paris for his new campaign. It's a great fit, seeing as though she is such a versatile model, and Galliano......well.....she will bring his masterful creations to life!Here are a few "hippie st Read more:Speaking

It's A Mod World! 2008-11-04 14:02:36 With the polls opening today, it got me thinking about politics in the 60's and the "race for space", which made me think about fashion. (Somehow I always end up at fashion!) I found a few pics in my inspiration folder that I wanted to share. My personal style is more hippie chic than mod, but I love the whole vibe of that time period in general. A special thanks to my readers and everyone who h Read more:World
