Jeans, Beatniks and cigarettes ... What was the spirit of the late 50's and the early 60's ?

Rock'n'roll, Elvis Presley, James Dean, Jack Kerouac, Brigitte Bardot, Marlon Brando... those were the greatest icons of this decade. The teenagers read The Catcher in the rye by J.D.Salinger and books of the Beat Generations whose representatives were Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, William Seward Burroughs, Ken Kesey, etc.. They admired beauty of Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe and their heros were James Dean and Marlon Brando. James Dean was young actor who played in only three films- Rebel without a cause, East of Eden and The Giant, but he became the teen idol and legend in a very short time. He was a symbol of young cool rebelling people. Unfortunately, in 1955, he died at 24 in a car accident. Marlon Brando became an icon, when he presented himself as a wild guy on a motorbike in the movie The wild one. The french way: The existencialistic youth dressed in denim smoked and listened to Jean-Paul Sartre or Serge Gainsbourg in Paris Café de Flore in St.Germain.

After the release of Sgt.Pepper's lonely hearts club band, the Summer of Love in 1967 began. Its top took place when Scott McKenzie sang: ,,If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair, if you're going to San Francisco, you're gonna meet some gentle people there.....´´. So the centre of Hippies was in California, especially in San Francisco and during the Summer of Love in 1967 the famous Monterrey Pop festival was held.Casual Prom Dresses

The era of Hippies continued and on 15th,16th and 17th of August 1969, Woodstock took place. This legendary festival is known as 3 days of Peace and Music. It was held in White lake and about 500 000 people came. Some of the performers who participated during the festival: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, Crosby- Stills- Nash & Young, Grateful Dead, Santana, Ravi Shankar, Joe Cocker, Joan Baez. The Band, ....
For more information find my article from July or August about Woodstock or read book about it by the main organizor of the festival Michael Lang, which I really reccommend. 



Jimi Hendrix

Firstly, they performed in the house on Venice Beach, then in some clubs on Sunset Strip and became famous in a quite short time. Jim was shy  firstly, but then he changed and was thrown out of the club because of the text of The End. However, the producer Paul Rotchild liked them and offered recording of a gramophone record with them. They agreed and few days later, there was their first record with single Light my fire, which was probably their most famous hit of all. They have subjugated whole America, but Jim started having many problems with alcohol, using many drugs and exhibitionism. His erotic gestures took him to the court. They had many problems and were about to break up. Even their producer let them make their record L.A.Woman on their own. Although, they were disintegrating and had to make all things with L.A.Woman on their own, it was great. Great end of their journey. 

Even before The Doors were established, Jim met Pamela Courson (1946- 1974)- his longtime girlfriend and love of his life. They fell in love with each other at the first sight and although, JIm had many lovers, he always returned to Pam. She didn't want him to be a rock'n'roll star and wanted him to be a poet. In 1971 she persuaded him to live in Paris. Wandering through Paris and writing poems wasn't so exciting for him and he continued with drinking alcohol, smoking and using drugs plentiful. He died at 27, probably of heart attack. His tomb is situated on Pere Lachaise, famous parisian cemetery. Pamela passed away three years after him of heroin overdose.

cobalt paisley dress /// garden party dress /// sketch book dress

I'm not usually one for keeping tabs on the editorial spreads in major glossy magazines. In fact, I rarely flip through one at all unless I'm on an airplane.  I never board an airplane without an armload of guilty pleasure magazines!  But this one featuring Arizona Muse in Vogue Russia hits just the right notes for me;  good clothes, simple styling and a location that has me wanted to pack my bags for vacation right away.view more

Pin It

Hope you all had a great weekend! I was dressed to go back to L.A. this day so this was my travel outfit. I always get cold in the airplane so I thought about wearing ripped jeans but it was too hot in Kentucky for jeans so I opted for shorts and tied a sweater around my waist and had a J Brand leather jacket with me (seen here) so that I can wear them on the plane. view more

Even though my trip to Kentucky wasn't technically a vacation, it definitely felt like one especially when you're surrounded by people you love and get to relax. Cocktail Dresses

I picked up this pretty crochet cover-up at the Revolve Malibu Beach House a couple of weeks ago, and it was perfect for my boat ride in Kentucky.

Bonnaroo 2013

Thursday, June 13 - Sunday, June 16 in Manchester, Tennessee

Bonnaroo is the best/worst experience that a human being can have.

The worst parts are mostly physical. This year’s weather was in the upper 80’s, which meant no matter how long you stayed up the previous night, you were awake around 8am, aka the time the tent turns into a sauna. It usually rains at least once, which turns areas around the campsite into massive, shoe-consuming mud pits. Waiting for a band on the What and Which stages during the day can make a person feel as if they are literally being cooked in the sun. Also, getting a good view in the tents means getting closer to strangers than you would ever be in a New York subway during rush hour. You will sweat like never before, and I have come to the conclusion that taking a shower is mostly for the reminder of what clean feels like.view more

Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse (Fat Possum)

We’ve been running on the assumption that “Youth Lagoon” was just an arbitrary title Trevor Powers chose as a vessel for his sleepy-eyed musical endeavors. Could be we’re wrong. Maybe the Boise twentysomething has really discovered that fabled spring sought after by misguided conquistadores and graying adventurers since the days when atlases were mostly blank white space with funny stylized drawings by old guys taking old-fashioned Simple Prom Dresses psychedelics. Chances are he hasn't, but I know he dreams about it. For him, though, it’s not the thrill of the unknown that drives him to seek what probably won’t ever be found. Eternal life doesn’t mean eternal possibility, it means eternal lounging, wading waist deep into the warm, still water of the lagoon, knowing he’ll forever be content watching the ripples spread when he moves.view more
