True Vintage Babes, thanks for the inspiration!

In some serious need of a little feminine inspiration, no better way than channeling the Babes of the 60's. Totally feminine but wild and independent at the same time. I was clearly born in the wrong decade. (I'm sure I'm not the first one to utter that statement.) Press Play!

Priscilla Presley, I am completely obsessed with the head to toe look of this decade. Nuff' Said!

Popularity Lessons from Michael J. Fox

 

My friends Heather and Chad visited me at Hill-Valley the other day and they graciously let me exploit them for the sake of the blog! What are friends for! Chad tried on a vintage varsity jacket and looked so proper! Naturally Nada surf's Popular was the appropriate video choice!

If anyone can make the varsity look cool, it's teen wolf/A.P.K/Michael J Fox. After watching clips from this movie and going through pics, I'm dying to see it again! Mtv should have taken better notes. I included a clip at the end, it's amazing!

Back2Skool day 4: I was going to do a post inspired by Gwen's chola style, but it turns out she might be the only 1/2 way decent inspiration for the gaudy look. (someone prove me wrong!!!) So when Heather stopped by the shop today and tried on this gem, I knew it had to be! The Majorette is classic, boots with tassels, ornate buttons and pom pom hats!!! Press Play.

REBEL REBEL: WE STILL DON'T NEED NO EDUCATION

Back2Skool look Day 3: Today's video inspiration was suggested by my brother class of 89', who loved Motley Crue in high school! And the pic of me was taken and styled by my Dad, class of 61'! He said, "Lizzy, I think I should roll you a cig prop for smokin' in the boy's room!"

So much rebellious Depp to choose from, this was a tough call

 Back 2 Skool: Day 2 inspiration. I can watch the Happy Days intro over and over! Makes me so, seriously nostalgic and is the perfect inspiration for the Varsity theme! I have a feeling this will not be the last you see of  "the Fonz" on the Hill-Valley blog!
