70s vibes

Heya...

I hope everyone had a great half term this week! 

The 70s vibe is a huge trend going on at the moment, so I thought I would create an almost mood board to inspire you all to embrace this hippy decade. I love 70s fashion, as it really encompasses dressing to feel happy, not just being ordinary. The bright hues and gorgeous patterns surrounding the decade should always be worn with a smile!

These are a few of my top 70s picks!



This gorgeous 70s festival vibe dress is on the asos marketplace website, so really easy to find. The vibrant colours really express the freedom and the well cut shape creates a flowing movement to it.


These beautiful, flowing flared trousers may not be in the usual colour scheme of the 70s, however the shape of them is iconic. I am lucky enough to own a pair similar from Biba ( a major 70s label) passed down from my mum, but if you fancy some exquisite summer trousers find these on the asos marketplace website. From styling them myself, its best to go with a tight, roll neck top (as shown in the picture) or something with crochet at the bottom to create a more boho look. To complete the look, find either wedges or even patent boots to make the look more modern. 


Everybody needs a sheepskin coat and this 70s number really is a wardrobe staple. I adore the fur collar and the buttons make this perfection. It may be almost the end of winter, however if you need a  warm jacket this is the answer! Find it on the asos marketplace website before it goes!



The tan leather shoulder bag instantly vamps up any outfit with a cool 70s twist. Practical and easy to match with anything, I would pair this with a flowing boho dress for maximum 70s vibe, but it also works with a simple t-shirt and jeans look aswell. GO BUY! This one is from one of my favourite  vintage shops beyond retro.




These wedges can only be described as perfection. They may not work for  everyone, but the mere thought of owning such shoes stops my heart. No joke. These are not vintage shoes by any means, in fact they are part of a newish collection from orla kiely in collaboration with clarks but truly have a 70s vibe. These are statement shoes, ones you must always plan outfits around but people will remember them, and more importantly how stylish you are as you have pulled them off so well.

Hopefully this has inspired you to rock the 70s vibe,
