GOOD GOLLY MS HOLLY

I have memories of visiting the legendary Holly Harp boutique on Sunset Blvd in the late 1970s with my mom.  If you were a fashion lover in the 1970s, Holly Harp was your go-to designer for that boho luxe look of carefree Los Angeles made famous by the likes of Stevie Nicks and Michelle Phillips.  It's a look that really never goes out of style (hello Hedi Slimane).  I am always partial to the jersey pieces featuring hand-painting like the outstanding example below.  However, it gets extra fabulous as this evening dress comes with a hooded cape for the Laurel Canyon/Topanga Canyon rock star in each and everyone of us that may get goose bumps on her shoulders when the sun sets and the incense starts burning.

I am back from my latest Rainbow Tour to promote DECADES: A CENTURY OF FASHION.  I hope to be able to blog a bit more before we resume the tour in 10 days.

GO GREEN AND GUCCI

'Tis the season of green and red, but this vintage Gucci suede and leather iconic coat with gold hardware is all green, all the time.  It's always amusing that these coats are often marked rather generous sizes like a 46, but always fit much, much smaller.  I haven't been paying much attention to current Gucci collection as of late, but give me a classic heritage piece and I swoon a little.  Not to be worn in the rain, this is an ideal cool weather coat for the icon within you.  So go green and go Gucci.
