THE E LIST 07.02.12

That 70’s feeling (again)…

I always do this in the summer: want to rock a little 70’s vibe, and at the moment, one that’s of the bronzed variety…

 Miranda posted this one-piece and I couldn’t get it out of my mind! Treated myself.
Noelle “Brooke” gold dotted one-piece, $180

If you don’t snatch these up, I will!
Vintage onyx bookends, $28

 Daun blogged about 1960’s fashion photographer Sam Haskins…amazing! Get this hard-to-find retrospective sponsored by Tommy Hilfiger.
“Fashion Etcetera” Special Edition, $60

 Part Bianca Jagger, part Raquel Welch.
Metal brow sunglasses, $44 

 Got these tan patent sandals for Vegas and haven’t looked back. The perfect neutral with just enough ‘tude.
KORS Ysabell sandals in cork, $149.69 
(*the color is more like what I’ve shown above) 

My next iPhone case? Warm-toned python is a no-brainer.
Tory Burch iPhone case, $48

Still feeling beni ourain rugs, and Maryam’s selection is stellar.
Beni ourain rugs from Morocco, various prices

Big faced, very 70’s.
Michael Kors horn watch, $160

 If you can’t fit a peacock chair, how about a small rattan table for the same vibe?
Rattan plant stand/table, $38

 Lady-like bag in bronze with a gold feminine clasp…stunning!
Botkier “Valentina” handbag, $295

Last summer, I was feeling a certain Mediterranean Jetsetter vibe…it’s back in a big way!

    I saw that 1-piece on Miranda’s blog too and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind! My boyfriend isn’t really feeling the whole 1-piece thing. I might try to sneak it in tho :)

    That swimsuit is so chic. I’d probably wear it as a top under a maxi skirt too.

    Yes! That is so it! I always want to do a 70s style vibe as well come summertime…I guess I just never put it into words, it was just a feeling, but yes, yes, yes!
