that 70's girl

One of my most loved on screen icon would have to be Iris from Taxi Driver.

When you see Jodie Foster Acting as Iris, the whole screen pops with colour. The film is classified as a thriller- I mean Robert De Niro is scary, cannot believe now he plays the dad in meet the parents... so what I want to say is that the screen is dull and heavy until you see the low-teen prostitute, blooming with the beautiful colour palates. I'm feeling 70's.  

So I thought, Chanel Spring 2010 ready-to-wear was vibing off Iris. (It's not a word...)

The high  waist, and the red shoes ( clogs!) It's a very cute modern take on the 70's look. I love the Shoes... and the basked with patch worked Chanel signature Camellia.

This is from Anna Sui Spring 2011 ready to wear and here also, it has the waist mark of the tied shirt, the Denim Jacket, the red shoes with long bags and the red shoes. This is a little closer to the Iris Look yet it has more patterns- the whimsical patterns of Anna Sui!

Well, I have interpreted it on my Mannequin

Slip on's are very comfy et easy!

AND my ultimate favourite bag

Vintage Coach $70 at an antique store in Hawaii.

Well, I love Vintage coach... At the moment, their collection's are filled with brown or colourful C's every where and that new Coach Poppy, it's cute that they are aiming at other target markets avoiding the mid 40's to 50's women scrummging at duty free's in air ports. BUT I don't think mixing logo's with sequins are the way to go. I love their genuine leather goods and Can't wait until my mother passes down her hot pink pouch from coach about 12 years ago!
