1960’s Ye-Ye Fashion Show and Wine Tasting

Posted on July 12, 2014 by

Nothing is more groovy than stepping back into the era of 1960’s French Yé-Yé. Clever Vintage Clothing and LA Wine Tasting joined forces at the Luxe Hotel on Sunset Blvd. to create a evening of French ‘60s style revelry with an exquisite selection of wines, a vintage fashion show and a performance by the band Paris Loves LA, featuring French expat singer Adele Jacques.

For a little history, French Yé-Yé came about when French singers like Brigitte Bardot tried to perform American pop songs but didn’t know the words in English so they sang, “Ye, Ye…,” which made them sound utterly charming and of course they were always stylishly dressed.

For the fashion show, Clever Vintage curators Dave and Sabino brought in a goldmine of ‘60s deadstock (never been worn) ‘60s outfits in perfect condition after recently buying up the inventory of a department store that had been closed and untouched since 1968. Bright colors and bold patterns ruled these knitwear sets.

We felt like our own little gang of ‘60s girls. After walking our runway around the pool, the band started up and we couldn’t help but dance to their infectious sounds, in fact, we even jumped up on stage with them and became their go-go dancers!

For our grand finale, three of the models showed a vintage swimwear collection and really made a splash by jumping in the pool! But much to everyone’s delight, the biggest surprise was Clever founder Dave Temple jumping in with them – clothes and all!

It was a fun, wild night, much like they had in the ‘60s I’m sure. Many thanks to Clever Vintage Clothing for letting me be a part of it.

Swing it,

Vegas Style at Aria Resort Hotel

Posted on May 30, 2014 by

When you feel like a quick getaway, there’s no place like Las Vegas. The perfect spot for a quick weekend trip with lots to do ’round the clock from lounging by the pool to hitting the casinos! I discovered one place where you can do it all without ever leaving your hotel: the gorgeous Aria at City Center. I put together some Vegas-inspired outfits to experience the hotel’s many places for fun. Click the images to shop* each item.

At the Casino

First order of business in Vegas is to hit the casino, especially one as lovely as the Aria’s Deuce Lounge. You’ll fit right in with playing card skinny pants, a casual white top, red shoes made for walking, and sparkly purse with dangling dice charm.

Poolside

Vegas is the perfect place to show off your poolside style with a retro leopard print swimsuit and ironic Elvis tote bag to carry your sunbathing essentials. Then strut over in your stylish sandals to the Aria’s gorgeous Liquid Pool and Lounge.

Nightclub Look

The Aria’s Haze nightclub was made for dancing the night away and you’ll look ready to rock in a vintage-inspired, strapless dress with gold detailing, worn with gold-heeled stilettos and playful dice-shaped purse.

Viva Las Vegas!

Essentials for Summer Style

Posted on May 17, 2014 by

Memorial Day is right around the corner and that means the official start of summer. Is your wardrobe summer-ready? Spruce it up with a touch of cuteness and glamour with this retro-inspired pieces! I searched the web to find you the essential women’s fashion items to add to your summer season.

Click the link* to shop each item.

Every summer I like to treat myself to a new sundress. This cute gingham dress features a built-in bullet bra for that Hollywood glamour silhouette. Retro swimwear is getting easier to find, like this Esther Williams-brand suit, which hides those trouble spots and accentuates your curves.

You can’t get through all that sunshine without protecting yourself with sunglasses and a sun hat. I love these vintage-inspired cat glasses and super cute Cabana hat with oversized brim that features a drawstring interior band so it stays on snug.

Your tootsies with stay cool in stylish sandals like these adorable ones with seahorses. And you can tuck away all your essentials in a generously-sized straw tote.

Ready, set, bring on the summer!

Get the Look: 70s Disco Fashion

Posted on April 5, 2014August 18, 2015 by stilettocity

Our partying ‘70s throw-back guest blogger Disco K. is the subject of this week’s Get the Look with her authentic ‘70s fashions of disco clubbin’ evening wear. While she’s no stranger to partying until the sun comes up and wearing her nighttime outfit during the day, we highly recommend it for a night of dancing.

The look has recently been rediscovered after being featured in the film, “American Hustle.” To get the look, check vintage stores and eBay for items from the 1970s. Dresses should be slinky and body-hugging with halter top or spaghetti strap detailing or the classic wrap-dress silhouette. Jewelry consists of long, drop charm necklaces, dangle hoop earrings and metal bangles. Throw on a fur stole, some platform heels, and a clutch to carry your compact, cigarettes and enough cash for a cocktail and cab ride home.

Disco K’s look was inspired by the personal style of Jerry Hall and Farrah Fawcett at Studio 54 and put together entirely from vintage items. Check out her eBay HAUL video! Find your own ‘70s treasures on eBay using the links below*:
