Cynthia Steffe- Fall 2010

Yay! New York fashion week is finally here!!!

I really loved fell in love with this collection when I first saw it; it's good mix of school girl uniform + some inspiration from the 60's. I adore the knee highs and I think that the layering was well done. Love, Love, Love it!

Time Travel - Mad About Plaid from Fall's Past

Today I came across a lookbook that I made for Fall 2008 and a look from Boy by Band of Outsiders caught my eye, so I reviewed the whole collection. I am still in love with this collection and think the styling is genius! The subtle addition of plaid as an accent is great and I also adore the plaid on plaid styling. As the saying goes: fashions fade but style is timeless.

Great Jessica Stam Glam Shoot

Jessica Stam is so beautiful! I love this shoot; the 60's inspired hair is so AMAZING! Definitely using this hair style for the next photoshoot that I do. I am planning a shoot coming up and was looking for inspiration when I found these photos on Models.com. I am going to replicate the hair and use some great looking vintage clothes on my model. Can't wait to show you how it turns out!

Amazing 60's Fashion Blogs

Being a lover of vintage, I take most of my style ques from eras past. Everyone has a favorite decade to draw influence from mine is the 60's-70's; I get super excited when I find blogs that dedicate themselves to this period of time. I love to pick up vintage magazines when I find them, but my collection is still in it's infancy. That's where the blogs come in, these blogs have an amazing vintage collection of photos from time passed.

My Favorite 60's fashion Blogs are Child of the Moon and (Diet) Coke and Sympathy.
These blogs are great!If you love fashion from the 60's go check them out!

Child of the Moon has features everyone from Audrey Hepburn to photographers like Norman Parkinson to Mia Farrow and the list Continues!

Here is a little sample of what Child of the Moon offers:

The author of (Diet) Coke and Sympathy is obsessed with Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg (great fashion icons to be obsessed with) and sometimes does other posts of influential people from the 60's.

Here are some samplings from (Diet) Coke and Sympathy:

Salon Mystique on Etsy now offering Vintage!

The Hippie Collection

I LOVE vintage clothes and am very happy to announce that I will be offering up some of my vintage finds on my etsy shop! (salonmystique.etsy.com) The collection of vintage that I am showing is from late 60's, early 70's. This era is always in style because of the new found freedom that represented these times. It is the essence of Hippie, Earth Child and Rock & Roll.

The Hippie Collection is inspired by artists like Devendra Banhart and Bat for Lashes' Natasha Khan and were selected especially to embody the spirit of renaissance and freedom of thought. All of these pieces are very earthy and can be accompanied with modern pieces for a modern feel.

This collection is reminiscent of the styles worn at summer festivals found at Style.com. Check them out here.

More pics coming soon...

These pieces will be available for purchase on Sept. 3, 2009. Here is a sneak peek:
