KOOKIE STYLE: OBJECTS OF OBSESSION

I've recently seen several online stores presenting their look books for Spring 2011 and raving about the return of 70s style. Revival is ON, but it won't be all about the 70s... the 1960s also seem to be a lingering influence in recent collections, like John Galliano's for Christian Dior.
Christian Dior's Ready-to-wear 2011 collection of Retro inspired dresses, Hawaiian prints & strappy sandals are reminiscent of Elvis' Blue Hawaii, an iconic movie in the 1960s. This combination of sultry colors, pin-up hair and breezy style is perfect for Puerto Rico's eternal sunshine weather.

If the whole sailor girl charm thing is not for you, then check out Solange Azagury's Stoned and Ball Crusher accessories. These babies seem to be made for the urban femmes of 2011, they mean business and they're beautiful for it.

What else am I obsessing over lately? Pearls, new or old pearls never go out of style. Chanel recently revealed its new Pearl Palette for Spring 2011... ball crushing amazing! Mix all of the above together and what you get is PURE ISLAND CHIC.

    I love the new Christian Dior collection! I love that it's so retro.

    Pearls are eternally classy, chic and fun. I even prefer them more than diamonds! I love the pearl ring! I actually have one just like it. It was my aunt's and it's more than 50 years old. I almost never wear it, because I'm afraid to lose it lol.
