Coffee! It’s the completely safe stimulant of choice of marathon runners, football players … and the band Heart. This totally bizarre ’80s commercial from the National Coffee Association tries to convince us that rockers were mainlining coffee, not cocaine, before shows. As if! “Because coffee gives you the serenity to dream it, and the vitality to do it!” Um, sure, whatever you say weirdos. [YouTube]
We came across these photos of teen girls from the 1960s and fell in love. We thought you might also appreciate a glimpse into what hippie teens wore around high school campuses back in the day. I’m really wishing I had a pair of corduroy bells right about now…
One of the biggest trends heading into this fall is the midi skirt. (Get it? Not maxi, not mini, but mid-length–took me a while to figure that one out.) These calf-length skirts feel delightfully retro–especially the swingy, pleated versions–and it’s always a bonus when a trend is work-appropriate. The problem? They can be tough to wear, especially for those of us who are vertically challenged. I’m 5’3 with short legs and on the rare occasion I find a midi skirt that actually hits at mid-calf (rather than dragging on the floor), it’s not particularly flattering. “Stumpy” is really the best way to put it. So what about you? Are you embracing the midi skirt or leaving it on the rack? [Shown: Pleated Midi Skirt, $190, ASOS]
Bellbottoms are big again. Like, literally. Check out this super-sized pair by Ellery, for example, which cost a cool $900. I can’t think of too many places where one might be able to wear these. Maybe to a Celine Dion concert. If you were Celine Dion. Anyway, here’s what the guys on our Man Panel had to say about ‘em:

In a fitting homage to the ladies whose bouncing about has kept the man folk entertained between tackles for the past 76 years, Style.com has named NFL cheerleaders as beauty icons to be emulated. Things have certainly changed since they were allowed onto the field in 1923, over time replacing men who wielded pom poms (but certainly had less cleavage). Because boobs are made for bouncing, we’ll tell you how to keep it real like a cheerleader after the jump. (Ha ha, just kidding, sort of.) [Style.com] Keep reading »
Buying a swimsuit in February? Are we crazy? Well, yes, but that’s another story. It’s easier to get through the chilly winter months with a new bathing suit in our closet, reminding us summer will return. This winter we’re smitten with this retro sailor swimsuit, which is just so campy with those anchor buttons, it’s adorable. One pieces may not have the prevailing reputation for being sexy, but it’s all in the halter top front and the exposed back. One caveat: you have to be small- to medium-boobed to pull of a halter without looking totally boobalicious! [$124.99, ModCloth.com] Keep reading »
I adore this fishnet-style wallpaper designed by Jon Sherman and created by Flavor Paper. The hand-printed paper’s pattern is composed of the stockinged legs of retro ladies, and old school bustiers and panties decorate the squares where the design crisscrosses. The available colors are hot: fireball, gold, electric raspberry, and licorice. Unfortunately, at $150 for a 27″ x 15′ roll, this may not be the perfect wall covering for die-hard recessionistas. But can’t a girl splurge everywhere once in a while? [Cool Hunting] Keep reading »
