The Best of Mad Men: Style

  Mad Men is without a doubt one of the most stylish shows on television. The show does an excellent job at keeping within the 1960's theme and costume designer Janie Bryant translates the fashions from year to year perfectly going from the Dior New Look to mod effortlessly. Each of the female lead characters attire speaks for them. Betty's wardrobe reflects her strive for perfection and child like attitude, hence the pastel colours and prints in her wardrobe. Megan's style is the complete opposite of Betty's because she is the complete opposite of Betty. Megan is modern and does things how she wants to do them. Megan wants to be in control of her own life while Betty is normally okay with taking the back seat. Megan is a modem woman which is why Janie Bryant dresses Megan in more of a fashion forward mod look. 

The main reason why I started watching the award winning series was because of it's chic 1960's style whether it be the fashion or interior decor. It took me six episodes to really get into the show and once I did I was hooked.

Mad Men's final seven episodes begin Sunday, April 5. While I'm looking forward to the last few episodes I am not looking forward to the series ending.

Meet Me in '73

My favourite fashion decades were definitely the 40's, 60's, and 70's. The 40's because of the elegance and glamour, and the 60's and 70's because the styles were so new and different than what fashion had  previously been like in past decades making the 60's and 70's cooler than all the rest. This past Wednesday I went out for lunch with my sister and a friend of ours to a popular Toronto restaurant called Fresh. As you may have picked up from the name, the restaurant is "all healthy and stuff" and seems to attract a lot of hipsters.  I decided to wear a 70's inspired outfit wearing printed palazzo pants, a high low - open back shirt, and ray bans.

Throwback Thursday: Sharon Tate

Sharon Tate born in 1943 was an American Actress most popular during the 1960's and became a Fashion Icon. Sharon Tate married the director Roman Polanski in 1968 and was then famously murdered with her unborn child by Charles Manson at the age of 26. 

Throwback Thursday: 1960's

The 1960's was a unique decade for fashion because it was completely different from the 1940's and 1950's. In the 60's the bikini went mainstream, mini skirts were introduced to the world, and bell bottom jeans became a "thing" thanks to hippies. Due to these fashion inventions and innovations, the 1960's was a very important and historic decade in fashion as well as one of my favourites next to the 1940's.
