Edge of 70's
Edge of 70’s
The Spring/Summer 2013 trends
reflect the effortless styles of the 1970’s (the decade that is THE definition
of cool). We’ve put together a collection of looks that will have you feeling
like you just jumped into the modern world straight from 1973, along with beach
wave hair and all of the season's must-haves.
Free Bird
Summer brings us long days of
relaxing on the beach watching cute surfer boys, which evokes a desire to
appear effortlessly glamorous and obtain the perfect beach wave hair. But
before you get carried away with all of those hot curlers and sticky products,
follow these very simple steps for that perfect free-spirited beach hair.
1. Marc
Anthony ‘Dream Waves: Amplifying Lotion’ OR Marc
Anthony ‘Dream Waves: Beach Spray’ (Available
at Shoppers Drug Mart)
2.
CONAIR Volumizing Diffuser ($14; CONAIR.com)
Step 1:
Apply the Amplifying Lotion or Beach Spray to damp or dry hair, working
thoroughly through hair with fingers.
Step 2:
Using the diffuser tool on your hair dryer, separate the hair into large
sections, rest the hair section onto the diffuser and bring diffuser up to the
scalp. Repeat until finished.
Step 3: Get
out there and make all the boys stare.
Walk this Way
The perfect pairing to a maxi
dress is a light leather or denim jacket, especially for a Spring afternoon or
a chilled Summer evening. To amp up the cool factor for this look, add a jacket
that has been distressed, a pair of oversized sunglasses, a few vintage
accessories and a sandal with detailing. You’ll look like you just strutted out
of a Janis Joplin clothing auction adorning a few of these yummy buys.
Hot Child in the City
This season it’s all about
getting graphic! Invest in some radical graphic print garments and you’ll be
sure to be the talk of the town (in a good way!). Whether it be a pair of
wide-leg pants, a maxi dress, a blouse or even a jacket, go big or don’t go at
all!
How to Rock It
If you’re wearing a dress, go
graphic all the way! For separates, be sure to not be caught by bloggers
snapping your photo, which will soon be posted and captioned as “How NOT to
Wear Graphic Prints.” A hodgepodge of graphic prints is a big never. Don’t do a graphic top and
bottom that absolutely do not match.
Instead, pair a printed top with a solid-coloured bottom, or vice versa.
And don’t forget the 1970’s
inspired jewellery. Pair a colourful graphic print with some like-coloured
accessories. For example, if the print has the colour turquoise in it, add a
turquoise necklace or bangle. If the print is neutral, such as black and white,
incorporate in multiple coloured accessories, especially a shoe or bag with a
pop of colour.
Old Time Rock and Roll
Who doesn’t love the
crackling sound from a record player as the needle rests delicately on the
spinning vinyl? With vinyls becoming increasing popular in the past couple
years, it’s easy to get your hands on a modern record player (they also come in
trendy colours) and vinyl records, even from present-day artists. For a summer
day while tanning poolside with your girlfriends, toss on a record and let the
music do the talkin’.
