That Girl

If you've been reading Summer Wind for a while, then you know how absolutely obsessed I am with Bewitched. No, not the movie, but the old TV show from the 1960's. I am literally obsessed with it. My roommates can confirm this because I have Bewitched on my TV at all times and own almost all of the seasons on DVD. I love that it is light and funny and the biggest reason: the clothes. Samantha Stevens is one of the best dressed characters I have ever seen. I always watch it and then try to recreate some of her outfits-- 99% of the time, her looks are so put together and timeless! My parents recently recommended another older show that they thought I would like called That Girl starring Marlo Thomas. I ordered a season on Amazon and cannot get enough of it! It aired around the same years as Bewitched so the style is very similar! Take a look for yourself...

Isn't her style fabulous? I wish I could find more pictures to do Marlo's style justice because it is classic and feminine all at the same time! Have you ever seen That Girl? Have a fabulous day!

Reliving the 1960s

I have always LOVED the show Bewitched starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York. For Christmas, I got the entire 5th season on DVD and I have been watching it obsessively ever since. I've been noticing a trend in the shows/women/style that I just can't get enough of... what you ask is that? It's the 1960s. No, no, I don't like the hippie, psychadelic look, but I can't seem to get enough of Samantha Stevens wardrobe from Bewitched, or Betty Draper's from Mad Men, and of course, who can forget Jackie O.  Short sheath dresses, pretty flats, styled hair, lots of pearls and other gorgeous stones, and elegance is all found in the 1960s. Just look at some of the examples..I would love to own each of these pieces!

 Simple and classic in Kelly green!

 I love the look of a full skirted dress... I don't know why we don't see them more often, they are so flattering on most women's figures.

 More gorgeous dress examples. The 1960s used lots of gorgeous colors and patterns.

 Love this dress on Samantha! It fits her so well, and the cut is classic and conservative. The striped belt adds a fun punch to the dress!

Betty Draper looks glamorous with perfectly coiffed hair, and pretty white gloves. I love the pleating on the skirt of her dress.

 Charlotte from Sex and the City in a pretty 1960s inspired frock. I love the a-line fit of the dress, and again, the full skirt!

 Who doesn't love these two outfits on Jackie O. They are not only fabulous when she wore them, but every thing about her outfits are perfect for today!

 This has so much 1960s qualities! Bright color, a-line, high cut on the chest, and a full skirt!

 I am OBSESSED with this dress and matching coat. Samantha wears a lot of these coat/dress combos, I wish they still made dresses with matching coats, how elegant!

 This dress has a very Betty Draper look to it. Betty is normally dressed is a floral-y printed dress which I just love!

 Another example of the full skirted dress. This one has gorgeous embroidered detail on it and would be just perfect for a cocktail party.

 Whenever I see something with a neck like this, I scoop it up! I just found a gorgeous silk tank from Talbots with this neckline and I just had to get it because it's such a flattering neckline. Not only is the neckline on this dress gorgeous, but the fabric and the cut of the dress is just too perfect!

 Another glamorous coat.

I love, love, love this dress. The embellishment around the neck adds just the perfect touch of fun, and the white gloves are nice and dainty.
Do you love 1960's styles/fashion? I have become a bit obsessed, and soon hope to acquire a wardrobe of vintage inspired pieces! Have a fabulous day!

Adorable Actress!

As a result of being an unemployed college student on a month long winter break at home, I've had the pleasure of catching up on everything from my friends, books, TV shows (the good, the bad AND the ugly--oh yes, I've seen Jersey Shore and yes, it was without a doubt a waste of 30 minutes) shopping and working out! Well, I don't know where I've been but a while ago I read many bloggers posting about the series Mad Men on AMC. I had never watched an episode when reading about it, and I eventually put it in the back of my mind and never thought a thing about it. Then, bRc and I were sitting around with extra time on our hands (life is tough as a college kid, right?!) and we saw that Mad Men was OnDemand, so we started watching and now I can't stop. It is a really well put together show. I have found an amazing respect for January Jones role as Betty Draper; she plays the part to a T, not to mention a very stylish one! Have you ever seen Mad Men? Are you hooked? Over spring break, when I have more "unemployed, college break time" on my hands, I plan on catching up on all of the series, I sure will miss it until then.
Have a fabulous Weekend!
