My Vintage Vanity: 1960's Raleigh

*A Peek Into My Vintage Collection*
Here I am with my vintage 1960's Raleigh! These photos were taken on recent bike trip to Governor's Island here in NYC with glorious views of New York Harbor. The bike basket is new and was a gift from my boyfriend. Perfect for our pic-nic!

I am wearing a white tank from Old Navy and a vintage 70's red and white polka dot square dance skirt. Sunglasses, Miu Miu.

Here is Christy Turlington in the July 2010 issue of Vogue Italia wearing gorgeous 1960's inspired evening wear. The style of her modeling is also 60's style.

A veritable cornucopia of stylish reading awaits you in this week's list. You'll get taken on a tour of (rarely mentioned) downtown Halifax, discuss again whether any role model should be based on image, and look into doing the impossible with a dying medium. Along the way discover what tips men might have for women's style, whether a closet can be perfectly unisex, and what Mormons might know about minimalism.

Retro Looks In The Modern World: Get Into the Groove

I like my vintage to be from years before I was born. It's hard for me to think of 80's fashions from my teenage years as vintage...but it is. Here is an editorial featuring Madisyn Ritland as Madonna from her Desperately Seeking Susan era. Still one of my favorite movies, I couldn't pass up this tribute to the Material Girl and all of the nostalgia it brings me.
