Boogie Nights~ Sophisticated 70's for Spring



*Above featuring Elie Tahari, Marc Jacobs,  Pucci, Anna Sui, DVF Spring 2011


The difference here is this Bohemian look has a trust fund- much more 70's Socialite. This past Fall’s version of Bohemia is seeping into Spring in full force and but this time is luxe to the max. Maxi Dresses, designer leather messenger bags and satchels, crème accents, long silk dresses with clunky Frye/military boots and oh course supple leather jackets. The 70's vibe also includes a sheer neutral palette (creme, blush, grey, mushroom) AND natural, vintage camel colours. But be sure not to forget the 70's Glam in evening wear with shimmery fabrics and plunging necklines. 

And of course macrome, lace and crochet of the 70's- it is back in a big way in day wear. 70's jean dresses and wideleg high waisted jeans are back as well. High neck blouses with big ruffle detailing match with these jeans perfectly. Finish the look with circular sunglasses and a huge wide brim hat and clogs.

One 70's look that is going to be a huge transition for all you fashion forward ladies is changing the helm lines. The skirt helm has gotten so much longer for Spring and I am over the moon about this. Calf lengths are in baby! Begone the super short skirts that only 16 year olds can pull off. This longer helm line is  more mature, sleeker and more chic. Pairing these helm lines with motorcycle boots or sweet sling-backs can make any girl look and feel put together but also that effortlessness that is always so desired. Even us short girls can rock that helm line.
