The Sixties - an era my parents grew up in, and certainly a decade I wish I had experienced. The sixties were when The Beatles were born, the world was full of long haired hippies and beards. It was almost like the people who were living during the 1950's coiled up like a tight spring and then suddenly exploded during the 60's which introduced a different type of fashion community, hippies!  People felt more free and liberated and this reflected on there personal style, festivals such as Glastonbury & Woodstock attracted young free spirits floating around absorbing the music around them. The sixties have been making a huge come back on the catwalks, and this makes my heart warm. Knee high boots, short boxy dresses, bohemian floaty tops and head bands, the sixties are definitely making a come back and it doesn't look like its going to be making a swift exit anytime soon.  Edie Sedgwick and Cher were definitely some of the more influential woman during that time, its woman like these that I gravitate towards for outfit inspiration, them girls know how to dress. So here you have it my 60's inspired outfit, courtesy of Zara. Me & my photographer Iona thought it would be nice to mix things up a bit and add a vintage filter to this 60's blog post incase your wondering, Enjoy!

Flares- My favourite type of trouser, I never use to wear a lot of trousers or jeans to be honest but since the re-birth of the flare last year I've slowly started wearing them. These stunning Free People Flares are so comfortable I wear them on Sunday sometimes when I'm just mooching around my flat. Flares were not the only thing to carry on from Spring into Autumn (wow were there already, there I said it!). Lattice was a big trend this season, shops were selling a lot of lattice front tops and trousers, this particular number was purchased from no other than the lovely Topshop. The best thing about this top is that when you roll the sleeve cuff you can see the silk lining of the shirt, it also is a dream to wear becauses it's so soft.  To finish the outfit off I added an Accessorize fringe suede bag, yes thats right I bought another suede fringed bag from Accessorize (I can't get enough). The AW15 collection is d i v i n e.

This beautiful number is from Another Eight, a brand I recently discovered in Topshop Oxford Circus. Once again I decided to clash the dress with some chunky footwear, my trusted ASOS boots, some people may not like this look but..as you can tell from previous posts, I love a good clash. The dress is a really stunning shape it has halter neck and its completely backless. I originally bought this to wear at Henley Regatta but decided to save it for something else. The thing I love about dresses, is that if you choose the right one they tend to speak for themselves, little jewellery is needed and there so easy to fling on when your in a rush! I don't ever buy orange but I think the colour makes the dress pop against the soft white of the body of the dress. So there we have it, my first ever white dress to join my wardrobe and it won't be the last!
