Shopping: Seventies-Inspired Beachwear

We don't know about you but we feel like summer only started last weekend.

We don't know about you but we feel like summer only started last weekend. If you're not quite ready to delve into the new fall deliveries, there are plenty of sample sales and affordable summer clothing to indulge in. One style we've always loved is a seventies-inspired beach look. Slip on a pair of worn-in bell bottoms or a brightly printed tunic and you're 90% there. After that, just let your hair air dry, wear minimal makeup and add a few retro accessories.

Fab Finding Follow Up: A Night at Studio 54

Last week, we had a fun reader request come through: she was invited to a big 70s disco-themed party, and wants to wear something fashionable with a disco twist.

Last week, we had a fun reader request come through: she was invited to a big 70s disco-themed party, and wants to wear something fashionable with a disco twist. She's at loose ends about where to start, but as soon as she said "fashionable" as one of her requirements, I knew we could be all over this like spots on dice!

I started you off with this Urban Outfitters Sequin Beret, $24, because it will catch those disco ball reflections like no other. To see all the Fab finds, go disco fever.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Oh! Now, you can build outfits by creating a list of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits with and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when you are completing your Fab Finding missions.


Look #1, created by WhiplashGirlchild is all 70s glamour child! The gold mesh halter screams disco (in a good way), and those Dittos jeans were the denim of choice back in the day.

Fab Redux: The Real Teal!

Considering how much I love vintage, I don't think we talk about it enough!

Considering how much I love vintage, I don't think we talk about it enough! So, every Wednesday I'm going to feature one great vintage find - if that still doesn't satiate your vintage needs, definitely check out The vintage place!!.

This week's find comes from one of my favorite vintage sites, theURBANcollection.com. This site is not too big, so it's not overwhelming, but the pieces they do have are all really great. Marjorie, who runs the site, definitely has a good eye.

This teal dress, $46, is from the seventies and best fits a size small. I love the perfect length of the skirt, very classy, and the cut of the bodice gives it a southwestern feel - especially with the magenta and blue embroidery. It's the perfect bright summer dress!
