The Psychedelic 60

Let's take a trip in my time machine to a time synonymous with all the exciting, radical, and subversive events and trends we would never forget.

#GoGoBoots, #PeaceSigns #Flowers ETC. 

THE 60's

Best known as the decade of the British Invasion (Music in Nature of course), Flower Power, Let the Peace Flow && Lets not forget the Beauty that is Twiggy Lawson, a 60's style Icon. 




Have a listen to the amazing music that filled jukeboxes all over the world during this beautiful time.

Playful Spin on an Iconic 60's look 

#PocoDotDress #SatinBelt #LongSocks #AnkleBoot


A Look worn by most in the Early 60's, The Straight Cut Dress with Bold Print 

#BoldPrintDress #LongSocks #AnkleBoots 
Both of these will look amazing with Penny Loafers  or if you would like to go all out, get yourself a pair of #GoGoBoots && #HoopEarings. Have fun with this look. 

How to get that Iconic Twiggy look... oh yes! Its a Makeup Pictorial. 



What you will need to achieve this look:

Eye Liner
Pale Shadow
Mascara
Black Shadow
A thin application brush
A blending brush










 Step 1: Using your eye liner, draw a thin line on the crease of your eye. Take your black shadow to blend this line.

Step 2: Apply your  pale shadow. You could also use a dark shadow if you like.

Step 3: Apply eye liner on your top eye lid.

Step 4: Apply Mascara to your top lashes.

Step 5: Using your eye liner, make tiny vertical lines underneath your bottom lashes.

Step 6: Apply mascara to the bottom lashes, using it to manipulate your bottom lashes to get that iconic Twiggy look.






To finish off this look, here are a few HAIR TUTORIALS! #Have_A_Blast

Bouffant Half-Up... Beautiful && Classic 60's












This Era changed a nation of viewers & bystanders, to people that actually stood up && moved nations. With influences like Martin Luther King JR, John F Kennedy, Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin & so many more individuals that positively inspired a generation, all of whom made the biggest waves in history.

This generation thrived on the message of peace, unity && comfort! something we need a lot more of today. Taking a look into the past is as important as looking into our future. Positive lessons taught by those iconic individuals are never irrelevant. I urge you take a look into the lives of these people && see what they did to make what we do now a possibility.

This week lets take a page from the 60's, Spread Peace not War!
