Festival Fashions

 

   

 

 

 

 

Hello my Femmes! If you haven’t noticed the trend for this summer was 1990s fashion. Cropped Tops and stretch pants are just a few styles that have remerged. With this, people are finding new ways to accessorize and personalize their look. These chic concert attendees have infused mod sunglasses, a vintage inspired frame bag and an adorable head scarf to stick out from the rest. How did you mix the old with the new this sunny season?

Sunny Days Ahead

Hello my femmes!!! Can you believe the summer is almost over? In less than two months we will trade in our dainty summer dresses for jeans and our sexy strappy sandals for flats. But there is no need to worry there are still lots of things you can do to jazz up your appearance. Especially when trying to achieve that "vintage look" with a modern twist. That’s why I love accessories! One of my favorite items to transition into the fall are sunglasses.  I have completely fallen in love with the mod retro frames. Not only are the silhouettes unique, but they also come in different textures.  If you prefer ones that are dripped in rhinestones or just the smooth finish of metal there is something for you. I’ve found that it gives me an extra sense of sultriness when I pair them with an intense red lipstick. Of course, everyone does not want to ooze sex appeal so I definitely suggest wearing your own signature color.

The mod/retro frames that have remerged revisit the era of the 1950s and 1960s. The most popular styles are in the shape of cat eye or bowline (Ray Ban). While I was shopping at Nordstrom I discovered an adorable pair of vintage inspired sunglasses. They are by the brand Spitfire. They are a retro sunglass company. On their website you can personalize your shades. You have the opportunity to choose the color frame and lens of your choice! How great is that. And the best thing about it is that they are very affordable. Check them out at : www.spitfire-design.com or nordstrom.com. Below I posted some pics from the Nordstom site.
