Time Travel Anyone? 2008-05-26 10:49:26 Since the age of 12 I have enjoyed traveling by plane. My first trip was to NYC to visit my Aunt and Uncle. I remember looking out the window in total awe of the view from the sky. After the events of September 11, and the “crackdown” on airport security, my love for flying to different cities and countries has not diminished, but my enjoyment of the process has taken quite a hit.

When Hippies Ruled the World 2008-05-21 23:33:03 The Hippie movement in the late 60's, sparked a political, social, and fashion revolution. The kids of that generation stood up for what they believed in, they made their voices heard, and most of all...they partied their asses off!In recent years there seems to be a passion being ignited once again. People want to express themselves creatively and not conform to mainstream ideas. They want a sens Read more:Hippies

A feast for your eyes and...um...ears 2008-05-21 22:42:09 While living in South Beach I stumbled upon a flyer for an artist named Beatriz Milhazes at a gallery on Lincoln Road. I decided to look her up and found no official website, but I did find some pages with her amazing artwork, and oddly enough this video on YouTube. All I know is, she was born in Brazil, has had numerous showings, and her work is kinda trippy, colorful and psychedelic, without bei
Fashion 911! 2008-05-21 22:40:15 Well actually, it's fashion 944. As my friends know, I have a penchant to scour through various magazines and clip everything hippie, glam, colorful, glittery, rock & roll, sexy and fabulous. I came across a shoot in 944 Magazine a few months back that embodies just that. The shoot was done with clothing by Custo Barcelona and Zandra Rhodes , two of my favorites, and several other talented des Read more:Fashion
Somewhere over the rainbow..... 2008-05-26 23:03:11 ....Manish Arora was soaking up all the brightest colors for his Spring/Summer 2008 collection! When I stumbled upon this fabulous Indian designer, I think I welled up a bit. Being a fan of bright colors, pop art and everything psychedelic, I was enthralled with every single piece presented. His style is bold, ethnic, whimsical, and definitely not for the timid! Manish participated in the f Read more:Somewhere
Stars without makeup 2008-05-28 14:59:33 Now, while I am undoubtedly a fan of dressing up and doing whatever you can to feel good about yourself, I forgo the media’s perception of what is beautiful today. Tabloids and websites over the past few years have been riddled with pictures of stars without makeup in order to cast them in an “ugly” light. Oh the shock and horror of seeing Pamela, Cameron or Britney sans foundation! I suppos

In The Year 2525..... 2008-06-03 13:57:36 Slobots were alive!The Slobots are exuberant, futuristic, colorful and friendly, but what I love the most is that the artist M. Heisler has created a story for each bot that makes you want to pick one up and hug it!Here’s an example of the “SLOMADL” story…..“He was created to destroy any living thing that gets in its way. Through a "flaw" in his programming, the initial surge to kill is
Cat Eye Glasses and Cocktails 2008-06-10 14:52:45 It was only a few years ago that I discovered the magic of 60’s flicks and foreign cinema, so I cannot boast about being au fait in the subject, but I can tell you what makes for a fabulous girls night of red wine and pillow fights! Knowing how much I enjoy finding these treasures, my best friend Dina (a.k.a. Pumpkin), brought over a slew of movies for our girls night. One of my favorites on the Read more:Glasses
Shopping Hippie Style 2008-06-15 20:32:09 I started thrifting when I was 15, partially because the clothes were cheap, but being the rebellious kid that I was, I wanted a style that I could call my own. As I got older I ventured out into the world of “normal” shopping and bought some cool stuff, but always found myself back at the local thrift or a special vintage boutique. What I find exciting about fashion today is that people Read more:Shopping

It's Time For a Love Revolution! 2008-06-22 20:10:45 Usually I write about the girls; anything to do with hippie chicks, go-go girls, and fashion inspiration, past and present. There is one guy though, that is totally worth mentioning...... Lenny Kravitz! I have been a fan for many years and often listen to his music, especially when I need to get into a better mood. If I had to pick a guy, besides maybe Jimi, that embodies the Hippie Couture vibe,
The Bohemian Queen 2008-07-11 16:45:42 As many of you know, Boho is short for Bohemian
which means “somebody with an unconventional or gypsy lifestyle." Well hold on to your floppy hats! Before Kate Moss and Sienna Miller, there was one girl who earned the title “Bohemian queen”; her name was Talitha Getty.Talitha wasn’t well known by the public but she hung out with famous people like Mick Jagger and Diane Von Furstenberg.

Celebs Gone Psychedelic! 2008-07-01 21:40:36 Ooooooh, I love when this happens! Its 1:00am, I’m half awake while surfing the web, knowing I need to call it a night but fighting sleep as usual. I mindlessly link from one site to another, and somehow end up on a picture of Mischa Barton in this hot psychedelic mini dress, complete with trippy colors and pom pom fringe. I immediately checked my store and, voila, there’s my “model” Bean Read more:Celebs

How to feel fabulous 2008-07-01 09:14:27 There are many things that can make you feel fabulous on the outside; a visit to your hair stylist, a relaxing massage, or maybe wearing a favorite pair of jeans that make your butt look amazing! However, there are some things that just can't compare to getting that tingly feeling on the inside. I've found one of these to be giving. Several shops on Etsy and other online stores, have adopted the p

Future Hippie Vintage 10 dollars and Under! 2008-07-20 13:07:13 I love the times when I can shop and buy something extravagant for myself, but there are also times when I know I should be good. It's during these "being good" times that I look for something small, just to satisfy my shopping urge and lighten my mood.Because of this, I decided to put a new section up in my own shop called "10 dollars

I * heart * Bollywood! 2008-07-14 21:56:04 I’m absolutely enchanted with Indian fashion and culture, especially since the early hippies incorporated this vibe into their clothing and lifestyle. What I find exciting, is that this fascinating culture is infiltrating the U.S. scene once again, or maybe I should say we are merging, so to speak.In India, Bollywood is the equivalent to Hollywood, California. They have been taking cues from Ame
Cool art for you sexy Hipsters! 2008-08-07 12:08:31 Occasionally I will grab a picture I see online and put it into an inspiration folder. As I was looking through this folder, I found a picture I had saved of a colorful piece of artwork. The image title read "Olofsdotter", so I did a search to see if I could find more of this fabulous art. I was happy to find the artist's name is Linn Olofsdotter and she creates art for clients in fashion, adverti
Hippies of the future 2008-08-05 20:46:56 When you think of the words Future Hippie what comes to mind? If you said my vintage clothing shop......EXCELLENT! But there is also something very significant about the title "Future Hippie". It defines a person from the next generation that is embracing the hippie attitude. Maybe not to the point of living communally or burning bras, but definitely adopting past opinions about politics, fashion, Read more:Hippies

Gucci rides the Hippie bus to Resort 2009 2008-07-31 22:28:30 There are hippies from the 60's that would pass out if they heard the words "hippie" and "high end fashion" used in the same sentence. But behold, there is a new breed of flower children emerging with the younger generations; people who derive creative fashion inspiration from the past, and mix it with their own unique vision. This has particularly been noticed by major fashion houses and they are Read more:Gucci

History repeats itself...... 2008-08-27 18:07:16 They say that history repeats itself. By looking at the photo above it seems to be true, at least in the fashion world. The couple on the left is Sean Lennon and super model girlfriend Charlotte Kemp Muhl, and unless you're from a different planet, you will recognize the picture on the right is none other than Sean's parents, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. I was not around in the 60's but from what I Read more:History
Psychedelic Color Blast for your Mind & Spirit !!! 2008-08-27 17:57:23 As you can probably surmise by looking at my blog or shop, I'm emphatically drawn to anything bright, colorful, psychedelic and fabulous!

They are called Alfombras and are temporary street carpets made from hand-dyed sawdust, rice, f Read more:Color

The Australian Boho Rainbow! 2008-08-19 20:57:46 It's rare that I see a collection and like every piece, aside from Manish Arora of course! Usually I'll find a few getup's sashaying down the runway that I love, and the rest leave me feeling apathetic. I did however, come across a couple of designers from Australia named Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson, that managed to make me jolt upright in my chair, as I watched a video of their "Rainbow

Woodstock and the Runway 2008-08-15 17:57:55 I was browsing The Way Back Machine Blog today when I read that today is the 39th anniversary of Woodstock
. For all you youngsters, it was a music festival held on a huge farm in New York, with about 200,000 people in attendance, and famous musicians such as Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead and Jimi Hendrix.O.K., so technically I'm a youngster too since Woodstock happened before I was born, but if Read more:Runway
