Gucci, Gucci, Goo

I love vintage Gucci. I die for vintage Gucci.  So when I saw Gucci's new ad campaign I was floored. The Spring 2010 Gucci Timepiece campaign features pictures of model Veruschka and the late actor Peter Sellers taken in the 60s.  Sooooo glamorous!!!!

I've been lucky enough to have a small collection of vintage Gucci purses.  They were my Mom's back in the 80's and they are in perfect condition!  Thank you Mommie!!!

Speaking of the 80s, here's my favorite pic with my Mom!  Already rocking the designer duds!

Come on and safari with me

I know it's the dead of winter, but I can't stop thinking about spring.  My fashion soul mate (http://clotheshorseok.wordpress.com/ - go visit her, she's fab!) and I both agree that January is the worst month of the year… fashionably speaking.  All fashion magazines are thin as a pin, and all the stores look terrible and are full of last years unwanted messes.  Booo!!!  
So when I saw this dress (at Gap, of all places), I was inspired and dreaming once again of spring. 

 

  

 

The beauty of this dress is:

a) it's cheap – $59.50* plus 20% off 

b)  it's classic 

c) and best of all, it's reminiscent of Yves St. Laurent's FAMOUS safari dress, as worn by Verushchka in 1968 in French Vogue 

  

I'm thinking this will be a great transition piece to wear into spring.  

Now – wear with blazer, tights, ankle boots 

Later – wear with strappy chunky spring heels and layer on the gold jewelry
