Dress to Decor: Retro Chic


The inspiration: A tribute to retro served with a side of chic.

My heart skipped a beat when spotted this model's fabulous take on 60's style.  Her voluminous hair is so cleverly updated into a side pony that works for today. The 60's era has my heart and some of the best fashion icons ruled at that time. From Bridgitte Bardot, Jackie O., Catherine Deneuve, not to mention the fabulous Twiggy!

What era do you find yourself most drawn to?

  4. Love her hair! And I love those books too; I want them all (yeah, I know, I'm book greedy). I think I'm drawn to all eras of fashion, except the 80s and 90s.

  12. I think you nailed the Retro Chic vibe! In the 60s I wanted to mimic the Beatles girlfriends...Jane Asher, Cynthia Lennon, Maureen Stapleton, Patti Boyd...Wow I can still remember their names! But I wouldn't call them chic...today I love the Jackie O, Catherine Deneuve type of class...that is similar to what I am posting about today! It is fun to take their style and up date the look!

  17. Fabulous could definitely see a modern day twiggy or Edie living in these spaces. The 40's and 50's have my heart, from the mirrored decor of the 40's to the voluminous skirts of the 50's.

  18. My kind of glamour!!! I had to smile when I saw those twin beds updated for today. I grew up with a bed just like them (mine was a full) and it belonged to my mother before me. Sadly, with just boys....it sits in the attic now.

  20. Probably the 40's and the 60's but you know I love them all. You inspired me. I might have to put the line "vintage with a side a chic" on my shop header, just love that!
