Style Crush – The Girl From Love Street

June 10, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I experienced a real stab of nostalgia while watching Mad Men this week. When Megan appeared in her indian hippie dress, it really took me back to my school and university days (an indie trend you understand, I wasn’t born until the seventies!) and a whopping great infatuation with all things bohemian. In sixth-form I had a huge girl-crush on a friend called Polly. She was in my English class and knew her literature like noone else, particularly poetry. She […]

Why Don’t You….watch “The Eye Has to Travel”

February 15, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I watched the documentary Diana Vreeland – The Eye Has To Travel over the weekend and it is an absolute must-see. I was totally transfixed from beginning to end. “I was the most hideous thing in the world”, Diana Vreeland told an interviewer in 1977 and perhaps because of this, she became the champion of the eclectic woman and the unconventional beauties of the world. I won’t spoil her story here, you must definitely watch the film, but she was well […]

Decades of Desire

December 28, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I now know the best way to get the presents you desire and that’s to write a post about them. Oh yes, some of those lovely 10 Best Books found their way into my stocking this year and I am one happy gal! Now I’m not favouring one present over another, but I have to say Decades by Cameron Silver, which my cousin’s in law gave me, had me, (rather unfortunately for my family), totally mesmerised on Boxing Day. The […]

Jane Fonda, Cannes, 1960's

Jane Fonda’s Lessons on Life

October 12, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

How gorgeous are these pictures of Jane Fonda and Alain Delon, taken by Edward Quinn in Cannes in the early sixties? So young and fresh:   edwardquinn.com Have any of you subscribed to Amanda de Cadenet’s “The Conversation”? It’s like a celebrity online interview (Donna Karan, Zoe Saldana, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lady Gaga etc) but specifically for women. I’m not a massive celebrity lover but I’m actually quite hooked because it does come across as a very natural interaction. My very […]

The 60’s Look by David Bailey “Goodbye Baby & Amen”

September 10, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I’ve got to be honest, I very nearly gave up writing this post. I don’t know what is going on with this computer or perhaps it’s WordPress, but I feel like there’s a poltergeist at the keys. Somehow I even have a male voice telling me what I’m pressing, I nearly jumped three feet – the kids must have mucked around with the settings. Either that or there’s some weird sh*t going on! Anyway back to business. I got hold […]

Lillian Bassman, Black basque, Lingerie

How can you look so naughty and feel so nice?

July 27, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I recently bought the book “Lingerie” featuring the beautiful photography of Lillan Bassman. Bassman became a photographer in the late 1940’s. Her images of women broke the mould, emphasising a more intimate portrayal and establishing a niche in lingerie and night-wear photography. Harpers Bazaar, March 1954 Carmen Dell’Orefice, Merry Widow 1951 Bassman was an avid watcher of women and in the book it describes how, in the mid 1940’s, she began to study the body language of those who made […]

1940's Perspex Shoes, Italy

The Return of the Perspex Heel

July 18, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to showcase the 1941 perspex heeled shoes below, from the book Fashion at the time of Fascisim. They just look so remarkably modern, particularly the wedges, that you really wouldn’t look twice if they appeared in the pages of Vogue. And indeed this month’s Vogue’s Catwalk Guide has given me the perfect opportunity to put these babies back into the limelight. From Yves St Laurent to Chanel to Rodarte, perspex is the material “de […]
