Instagram Inspriation: 5 Instagram Accounts to Follow Right Now

The seventies are about to take over your spring and summer. Here is a list of five Instagram accounts you need to follow for major inspiration.

      The feel of the 1970s (as well as the 60s, let's not forget!) was all over the S/S 2015 runways. Since all of us, I'm assuming, did not get the chance to experience the decade first-hand, we need all the help we can get to recreate that groovy time. To help in this endevour, a list of five Instagram accounts that will give you major fashion, hair, beauty, and vibe inspiration.

 2. @stoned_immaculate_vtg

   So after you spend about five hours getting friendly with Jane Birkin, pop on over to Stoned Immaculate Vintage. Not only will this account makes you want to go back to 1972 as quickly as possible, but it also allows you to actually buy pieces from the decade. A classic rare pair of leather bell bottoms? Yes, please! Quick go follow.

Saint Laurent F/W 2014 C

So this fall and winter I have been completely in the Sixties and Seventies mood. The Rolling Stones, Mamas and the Papas, and Jimi Hendrix have been on constant repeat and the Saint Laurent F/W campaign is forever on my mind. I thought I would spread the love around and show some of my favorite shots from the campaign. The outfits that are giving me the greatest chills. Plus, the new faces of Saint Laurent Men Dylan Brosnan and Jack Kilmer (yes, that is his dad).

Masculinity vs. Femininity

Suits, baseball caps, and sneakers; one could easily mistake this for a typical boy’s wardrobe. But fashion is changing. We have been taking influence from the boys for decades. In the 20s, Coco Chanel rocked Breton stripes and suit pants while the other girls pranced around in the flapper dresses of the day. Katharine Hepburn made the three-piece suit her trademark in the 1930s and 40s, turning it into a sexy woman’s staple. Yves Saint Laurent created some of the best pantsuits for women and dressed the icons of the seventies, such as, Bianca Jagger, Laura Hutton, and Charlotte Rampling. Androgyny consumed fashion in the eighties and nineties. And now in fashion, the tomboy look is the top trend.

Style Icon: Charlotte Rampling

Style Icon: Jane Birkin

    Jane Birkin is the original English It-Girl. She blasted open a space in our hearts for the Alexa Chung type girls we love today. She killed with her wide-eyed gaze peeking through her wispy chestnut bangs. She and long-time lover Serge Gainsbourg reshaped fashion in the 60s and 70s; hitting the streets in matching all-sequin frocks and their signature pea coats. Jane, herself, broke the fashion rules in see-through mini dresses, her signature basket, and her overall cool, bohemian style. To this day the world cannot get enough of the lovely Ms. Birkin. And who could blame them?

Style Icon: Anita Pallenberg

    I've decided to start a new weekly series, called "Style Icon," to showcase some of history's trailblazers in fashion and my personal idols.
    So for the first post of this series, I could only think of one woman: Anita Pallenberg. Known best as the girlfriend/lover of most of the Rolling Stones, Anita took 70's London by storm. Part flower child, part rock 'n' roll, she wore embroidered shawls, printed mini-dresses, and her signature shag coat. Her style was as intoxicating as her personality. Can you see why the Stones fell in love with her? Now if only there was a way to travel back in time...
