60s LOVE


February rolls in as do the waves on Kits shore. Wow. Fall has gone and past, and looking outside my little window, it seems as though winter has as well. Lush green leaves, big, wet rain droplets, and little green potted iris and hyacinth bulbs lining the racks outside the grocery stores. Could it be Spring? We have yet to see. For the moment it is Vancouver weather, and I love it. The old man with a long silver ponytail and Valentine's card in hand, smirks at my sister and I as we dash by dressed in 60s attire. I imagine that to him, the past few decades have melted as quickly as the snow has this week. I imagine that the days of Joni, Jean, and Joan are fresh in his mind, as are Jimi's vicious guitar solos and the Who's long wailing chords. Or on that note, perhaps a tad foggy.

Sixties. The day I get over them is the day I think the world will end. I adore just about everything related to or even vaguely inspired by the sixties. Bring on the seventies and everything the spring trends will surface, but first, here is a quick ode to the sixties.

Sam Haskins captured the 60s we have come to adore, from little girl stockings and tom boy linens to the winged liner and pretty lingerie.

Marianne Faithful, I love her for her bangs and fur, and a little for her music as well.
