This caftan/shawl/long sheer thing reminds me of the 90's kid's cartoon film Ferngully (which I found in the bargain DVD bin a couple of months ago, along with Hook!).  It's always interesting to go back and pick up on all the subliminal messages that went right over your head as a child, or in this case, realize that the creators of the movie were probably tree-hugging, free-loving hippies. (Also, Avatar inspiration-much?)  


P.S. La Petite Marmoset's first fashion show is next Sunday, July 10th at the DC Yards Park!

On girl's night earlier this week we were flipping through random movies online when we came across Summer Lovers, an ode to European nudist vacations and ménage à trois--- If you ever wondered what Peter Gallager from the OC looked like at 20 years old wearing a speedo (or not wearing a speedo), wonder no more.

What impressed me the most was not the shameless sunbathing, but Daryl Hannah's effortlessly chic early 80's wardrobe-- it still looks completely fresh 3 decades later and represents everything I want to wear right now!

Loose, tucked, and tied. One shirt --3 ways.

I just counted and I've used the word "Grandma" in a blog post title at least 4 times-- must be because i'm around mine all the time (She's helping me alter a dress as we speak). Last time I wore this one-piece to the beach I was branded with a crochet tan for weeks! I'll never stop loving it though, it completely satisfies my need for barely-there summer clothing :)
