Summer 2011- A GYPSY HIPPIE AFFAIR...

i.Life

"We're all going on a Summer holiday..." so goes a line from a song. It's definitely getting warmer by the day and the layers are starting to get lighter! This calls for some form of celebration doesn't it? As the title of this Blog suggests, we don't spare any change when it comes to the finer things in life!

Fashion seems to be going back in time come this Spring/Summer! 70's? 80's or 60's perhaps? Drum roll please, boom we have a winner! 70's please step forward, as you are this year's Spring/Summer Fashion winner! Now 70's? What do you suggest we wear as fashionable souls?

Some of us where not born in the 70's, however as modern Children of the sun our clothes define our sense of style and being. The 70's dress sense can be summerised in one simple word? Think Daisies, afro's, platform shoes and simple clothing? Yes, the "Hippies" are coming alive again...an era symbolised by mini skirts, bell bottoms, disco balls and Gents...we will get to you later.  

Ladies 70's clothes: "Disco Party" The mini...


The Mini makes a huge come back this year! In all forms and colours if you have the legs and body that is! Pull out your Mini's...well some will settle for the car form as it will also come in handy! For those statement making antics! I'm definitely sure that Mini Cooper sales will sky rocket, this Spring/Summer as they are going to be must have accessories to match the the Mini skirts on the prowl!

i.Life has settled on Bonang Matheba as thee Mini Skirt Ambassador for this Spring/Summer, it takes no Rocket Scientist to figure out why? Go Bonang, do us proud...


Moving along Gypsies...think Marianne Frassler etc...



Well, if you also also spot a lady from ABUJA rocking something along the below lines give her some love too...



All in all Ladies, pull out your loose fitting tops, care-free wear is acceptable once again! However, we do not mean sloppy! Think flowing dresses, pastel colours with a tinge of brightness...hint a tinge! Wedge shaped shoes, platform styles and then you are on the right track! For the less adventurous Girls? You get to keep your "Philistine"  styled sandals come this Summer! Rock them with your over-sized flowing tops and micro shorts! 

Gents, we're sure you all are wondering, what is in store for the Alpha male? Here we go! 
High waited shorts? Are you serious... the 70's male was so borderline! Interesting, this one should come along with a (PG) warning attached. Zakes Bantwini...ala style baby!


Shorts with Fitted Blazer's and....Earthy tones! 70's "Chic"

Gents, Jeff's International's high collared shirts pricing from R2500.00 are a must have for this Spring/Summer...if you can afford that price tag, give Jeff a shout. In the 70's Shirts were tight fitting, with big collars and were brightly patterned.
