Love Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion

I have a pretty stable life as a mother of two.  Yes, I am a soccer Mom on the weekends.  But it is fun.  Later this week the moms are having a cooking party.  We are learning to cook Vietnamese food.  So how bad is being a Soccer Mom??  Not bad at all.

Fashion is from a lifetime ago.  But although I don't dolly up as much as I did when in my twenties, I still love to style.  I guess it has always been one of my favorite things and still is.

This Fall is one of my favorite fashion seasons.  Camel, camel, camel.  Sophisticated 70's.  I am a child of the 70s (80s just passed me by because I was wearing secretary dresses and New Balance sneakers to walk the city streets during the 80s).  So 70s it is and will always be.  That is why I am thrilled with the fall winter fashion runways.

Chloe's camel look is amazing.  Such beautiful tresses on the Chloe girls.  Yes, Charlie's Angels are channeled. 

Fair Isle knits were the backbone of my 70s fashion.  Always a sweater thrown over a turtleneck or mittens/scarf/hat were some form of Fair Isle Knit.  I grew up in Boston where the winters were frigid and loads of snow.  (Fair Isle is an Island off the Coast of Maine.)

Love this military coat

Shearling

Shearling is the sign of winter.  Winter has arrived. Let's get warm and head to the fire.  Layer it on.   Sienna or Camel. Same thing.  Love the way the Runways are showing shearling.  Over maxi dresses. Over leather shorts with warm, wooly tights.  Over 70s flare jeans.  I'm a girl of the 70s and can't say that shearling was "the it jacket" but in the 80s it was, for sure.  Suede, shearling or not, is a 70s thing.  If I could, I would show my favorite 70s looks right here, right now. 

As Sexy as Tony from AG Jeans

I found this video on YouTube when I was searching for The Buckinghams.  The Buckinghams are a Band from the 70s.  Awesome stuff!  Seriously.  Simple but awesome.  I loved the lead singer of the band.  So sexy.  But, here is a cheezy version done by Chad M Wharton from South Dakota in honor of his ex-girlfriend "Susan".  Read the comments and watch the video.  I've already sent it to my family and friends and we are all in love with CHAD.  Looks like Tony from the AG Jeans ads but even sexier.

Enjoy and enjoy my 70s pics when they get here.  eBay.
