In case you haven’t had a chance yet to flip through the glossy pages of STYLED, the book (which if we do say so is a great stocking stuffer, a perfect gift for your in-laws, ex-boyfriend, 2nd husband, new baby, just about anyone) now is your chance at a little sneak peek into one of our favorite parts of the book – The very first chapter called “Name Your Style.” In this section of the book, there is a style diagnostic quiz to help determine your style. Are you rustic, boho, 70’s, industrial, or one of the many other styles? I am sure the suspense is killing you, so do yourself a favor, take the quiz and see where you fall.
This season, we wanted to translate the many styles of that quiz into some fun gift guides in case you were wondering what to buy your great aunt Mildred who falls into the 80’s category, or your high-school bestie who scored into the industrial category. This week it is 70’s so lets dim the lights, turn up the Donna Summer hits, and let your, oh so heavy, eyeshadow do all the talking.
Revolution was kind of a big deal in the 70’s. A new self-confident attitude began to emerge as people felt liberated from the confines of social norms, political injustices, and . . . bras. This newfound independence opened the floodgates on style — from Annie Hall to Farrah Fawcett, pretty much anything went. Lucky for you, we’ve narrowed down this explosion of diverse personalities into three categories: City Smart, Disco Chic, and Flower Child.
First up we’ve got City Smart, for all you hardworking, business-transacting, downtown-dwellers. Come walk with us through Mary Tyler Moore’s Minneapolis studio apartment and stroll the streets of Woodie Allen’s Big Apple.
No one rocks a suit like Dianne Keaton. Well, except maybe for you.
