Do the Hustle!

Summer is here and the time is right for Dancin' in the Streets! http://www.vintagecouturejewelry.com/ has just added new vintage summer and resort jewelry to wear when you Do the Hustle.

Seventies chic is coming on strong and even Hot Child in the City Victoria Beckham has created a seventies inspired clothing line. Think the summer of 75' resort wear. Many of the top designers featured sizzling, white Hot Stuff. Faux ivory, plastics, and white enamel jewelry were irrisistible. Diane von Furstenburg wrap dresses needed white earrings, tie back halter tops needed long white beaded necklaces, kaftans needed arms full of white bangles and jumpsuits needed large white tasseled chains.

Seventies summers saw plenty of hippies, but there were strong modern fashion trends catching on at the same time. Lola wore Moroccan keyhole designs, My Sharonna wore Italian Pallazzo pants, Sweedish Marimekko printed fabrics, Indian gauze fabrics, Roman sandals and Brazilian string bikinis. Copper toned bodies filled beaches from Waikiki to the French Riviera. Everyone wanted that super Brown Sugar tan look. If it wasn't Coppertone (no SPF) it was baby oil with iodine for that island look.

Now, what makes a tan look tanner?
White jewelry! It was sexy then and it is sexy now You Sexy Thing and I'm not Jive Talkin' .

So lets Imagine an Escape and Come Sail Away to the grand resorts of the world and don't forget to pack the Buffalo Sandals, those new cullottes, your fab wide flares and of course if you want to Get Down Tonite...

the white jewelry!
