This time, L'Officiel Singapore is inspired by the Sixties. With Vidal Sassoon hair styles and a stark industrial background these images are quite dramatic compared to what we normally see from 1960's inspiration.

Fashionable History: Winter Fashion By Decade- 1960's

This is my last installment of the Winter Fashion By Decade series. I am going to end it with the 1960's! I hope you have enjoyed the series. If you haven't been following along, click on the following decades to see the changes over time! 1920's, 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's.

Winter sports are still increasing in popularity. It is now really important to be fashionable on the slopes! How great is this pink ski suit? 

I love watching old 1960's movies when they go skiing. See Charade with Audrey Hepburn. 

Large houndstooth- look closely- this is knitted! 

Pierre Cardin! Fur trim is now getting smaller than we have seen in previous decades but it's still important. Plus the mod influence is really strong here.

Why save your fur for the outerwear. Fur trimmed suits are popular.

As well as fur accessories! Again, not as extravagant as the 1920's but this is from a 1960's Sear's catalog. Meaning- it's affordable and accessible to many more people.

I love those fur shawl collar cardigans! 

Which decade is your favorite? Only a few weeks of winter left...look fab!

My Vintage Vanity: Party Purses

I've listed some pretty cocktail party and wedding worthy vintage purses in my Etsy shop; The Sparkling Cocktail! Let's have a look:

This 1970's La Regale woven cream raffia purse is timeless and a wardrobe essential. Even though it's woven straw, the colors are perfect for Autumn and Thanksgiving parties. Yes I said it! The holidays are right around the corner! 

Perfect for Holiday parties or a Saturday night. This 1960's metallic gold purse can also be used as a clutch. I love the ruffles! 

Vintage white beaded purses are a classic and great for weddings; either for the Bride or attendee. This one is no exception. This 1960's vintage beaded purse is covered in white seed beads with iridescent white bugle beads creating a pretty leaf motif. This can also be used as a clutch. 

Which one is your favorite? 

Mid-Week Inspiration: Streisand at Chanel

It's currently fashion week, somewhere! In keeping with the spirit of the front row, here is a great picture of Barbra Streisand and Marlene Dietrich at a Chanel show in the 1960's.

What I love about this shot is that Barbra is not wearing a Chanel suit like the other ladies in the front row. Marlene's face is priceless. I think she approves, although recognizes that it's a faux pas. Barbra looks somewhat horrified.  

Either way, it's a great reminder to not conform! Wear what you want and don't be afraid to stand out. 

For more inspiration, any other day of the week, follow me on Pinterest.

Style Icon: Catherine Deneuve

Catherine Deneuve is one of the most beautiful, elegant, and classy actresses of our time!  The French actress is most known for her films; The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and Belle de Jour (1967). You may also be familiar with Indochine (1994) , The Hunger (1983), and Dancer in the Dark (2000). 

Catherine is still a stunning beauty to this day, but of course I love her look in the 1960's. Her style was and still is very classic, very chic. 

Due to her classic style the eyes always seem to focus on her face and that wonderful hair! 

That face! 

In the 1970's she was the face for Chanel and perfume sales skyrocketed. She was also a muse for designer Yves Saint Laurent and modeled for his skincare line. She has also modeled for L'Oreal, MAC and Louis Vuitton. She is still on the best dressed lists today at the age of 69.
