Trend Alert: Modern Mod

Hannah Weil — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 08:00:04 PST

Besides her hot strut, we're eying Victoria Beckham because of her Fab little sheath. It's modern mod at its best - simple silhouette, rounded neckline, and no bells and whistles. It's all about the fit - not too body-conscious, not too billowy - it should have a body-skimming, ladylike fit. For extra flair, go with a retro palette; bold yellows, orange, blue, and the rest of the primaries are perfect. And also look to Mrs. Beckham for the right accoutrements: oversize sunnies and a pair of pretty pumps.

eBay Find of the Week

The first person that popped into my head when I saw this Mod Kelly Green Wool Coat, bust 42 inches? Twiggy! Can't you just see the blonde pulling this off with ease? If mod is also your style, consider this piece. It goes without saying it will provide major pop to any outfit. And, the color goes well with blondes, brunettes, and redheads.

The current bidding price is at $18.50 and the auction ends on Tuesday, Feb. 24. Good luck and happy bidding!

A Fabby Halloween: Twiggy

Twiggy may no longer scream mod queen, but circa 1960s, she was highly popular for her high-fashion mod look. If you're looking to mimic someone with a bold, youthful signature style this Halloween, Twiggy is your girl. Inspired by the mod creations of English fashion designer Mary Quant, the supermodel wore everything from mini skirts to shift dresses, go-go boots to funky print dresses, sequins to plaid. Twiggy, whose real name is Lesley Hornby, wasn't merely known for her stick skinny body (hence the childhood nickname) and quirky fashion sense; she also spearheaded the application of fake lashes under bottom lashes and the androgynous pixie haircut. Groovy.
