Mini Mary

you too can be a *true* chelsea girl

so lately, i have been a fashion funk looking for inspiration-mostly i end of looking to the streets (facehunter.org) but stumbled across an oldie but goodie. Ms. Mary Quant, the queen of the miniskirt, patterned/coloured tights (PURE GENUIS!) and the hotpants, is it. In my opinion, she was the much cooler, edgier Twiggy (but not really a model, though she dabbled, she was a designer & built a makeup/housewares mini-empire). essentially, she shoudl be who people remember from 60s british fashion instead.

evoke the swinging 60s of London yourself, with multi-colored stripes, shorties, blunt bobs, tons of eye-makeup and plastic raincoats.
then you too can channel ms. quant.

p.s. despite my extreme summer blonde-ness, mary is making me want to go dark AGAIN.
with a very chic bubble bob for fall.
