COWGIRLS WITH THE BLUES.

Anyone remember the couple of preview photos I post a while back of the Wildfox couture S/S 2012 collection? Well, this is finally it. Cowgirls with the blues, who went West. I won't write much, I'll leave it to your imagination... ''She's got control of you... and you love it''.

THE GROUPIE DREAMER.

YOUR HEART IS AS BLACK AS NIGHT

ISABEL LUCAS for Interview magazine October 2011.
Via http://studdedhearts.blogspot.com/
When I saw these photos of the angelic Isabel Lucas I just had to repost them on here, they remind me of some shots taken of Anita Pallenberg in the late 60's.

YOUNG GIRLS ARE COMING TO THE CANYON

The new Spanish Moss lookbook. Suzanne Ford Carafono has done it again with her supreme 70's old Americana styling. I can't wait to see what is in store for American Gold now, if only there were more stockists in the UK, does anyone know of any? P&P is so expensive from America.

THANKYOU FOR THE MUSIC

LARA STONE FOR VOGUE UK OCTOBER 2011
First of all, I am deeply apologetic to all my blog readers who follow me and always give me positive feedback, despite me having been an awful blogger lately. I've had an awful lot going on, I've hardly been at home and I've felt more uninspired than ever before, all this plus a lack of a camera = lack of blog posts, particularly outfit posts. All I've managed to post recently is magazine editorials, which lack individuality when it comes to blogging however (hopefully) do inspire. I am eagerly awaiting the end of this year, so I can mark 2012 not only my 21st birthday but a milestone for a fresh start, and perhaps a slightly new image. For those of you who want to keep up to date with what I'm doing, you can follow me on tumblr or twitter, the links are to the right.
With regards to this editorial, although it's from Vogue UK and the issue has been out for a while so most of you have probably seen it - I still felt the need to post it on this blog. Lara Stone looks like an ideal member of ABBA and pays tribute to the seventies perfectly with her turqoise eyeshadow, turtleneck jumpers and sleek, blonde hair. Seeing as this is primarily a sixties and seventies style blog, I thought this fit in perfectly.

White Women and Headdresses

I'm on a mission to find out when white women started wearing Plains Indian headdresses as a part of 'fashion'.

One of my friends, Ross Chaney, found this gem:

A unusual vaudeville act - USA, 1940s
"Wearing her authentic Native American headdress, Enid Mutterbucket would leap up and down on two mini trampolines, ululating while she performed various movements of an arcane nature. She was accompanied by Signor Prosciutto on his accordion, who played his own arrangements of Lakota folk songs interspersed with popular Glen Miller hits of the day. (Well, I did tell you it was an "unusual" act!)"

and I found this:

American Actress Tallulah Bankhead in the London stage production of The Dancers (1923), wearing a buckskin dress and a feathered headdress.

"Although not critically acclaimed, The Dancers was a sensation with audiences in England. It boasted superior production values and first rate acting, but the clear attraction was Tallulah. Her unique voice and stunning beauty caused her to be the talk of the town. Her most famous scene was one in which she performed an Indian dance costumed in feathers and jewels. Similar to Madonna's success in the early 1980's, Tallulah also developed a cult fan base of teenaged girls who copied her dress and style and lined up outside her door after performances."

Any leads, send them this way!

ABBEY LEE FOR i-D FALL 2011

The sixties mod is coming back big time this Autumn/Winter (thank God). And this editorial for Fall i-d by Richard Bush featuring the one & only Abbey Lee shows off the trend perfectly. I can't think of a model of the moment who is better suited to 1960's style than Abbey Lee, I always said she had the perfect face for a 60's dolly girl.

D I S C O

LUXE QUILTED PLATFORM SANDALS in navy blue & black by Topshop. £98. In my opinion, the perfect 70's shoe for the up & coming party season. The question is - in blue or black?! Also - check out my new tumblr here for pages full of inspiration and images that don't fit on the blog: http://whothefuckismickjagger.tumblr.com/.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Natasha Poly again, for Vogue Spain November 2011. She is reminiscent of a young Marianne Faithfull in Girl On a Motorcycle in these shots, and really pulls of the 'boho-biker chic' look. Loving the fringes, leather, studs and blonde hair.
Also, I finally made a Tumblr and a Formspring account. The Tumblr account was due to an outstanding amount of photos I have saved on this laptop needing to be published, and the Formspring is just for any of you who are curious. Find the links on the right hand column of this page!
