A Thick Sole Can Go a Long Way

Thick Soled Shoes Can Go A Long Way

High heeled shoes rock; they are sexy, stylish and make us feel glamorous. That is until we take them off the shelf and put them on our feet. Stilettos are great and look absolutely fabulous but if you want to save yourself some pain, consider high heels that are chunkier. They will support your feet much better than a stiletto and a thicker sole, like a platform shoe, will always provide more comfort than a thin sole. Thin soled shoes tend to inflict pain on the bottom of your foot so go for shoes with thick soles and rubber bottoms to help offset and absorb the pressure. Your feet will thank you!

H&M Divided Collection: Best Friends Forever Ad Campaign

H&M S/S 2014

We all have that one friend who will always be our little partner in crime. That person who is down for whatever, fun, adventurous and just makes the world go round. H&M has taken a stab at capturing the essence of the BFF philosophy and came out with the big “W.”

As we were looking at the campaign we couldn’t help but be reminded of countless sleepovers, crush talk and the swapping of clothes with our close gal pals for a fun night out. The H&M fashions are great, styling is fresh and overall feel of the ad comes off as let’s just enjoy being young and have a good time. We dig the message and will be purchasing H&M couture to strut in as we make new memories with our Best Friends Forever.

Abercrombie & Finch Swimsuits Go Retro

Swimwear 2014

If you enjoy fashions with a little flirty flair we would like to high five you! We find retro and vintage inspired clothing at times have more of an alluring factor. In times past, women’s fashions just seemed to have more appeal, more glamour. This ring of truth was seen right down to their swimwear, revealing just enough skin to be sassy.

Abercrombie & Finch has taken a page from the sexy vintage book with their new swimwear for 2014. This year they are encouraging us ladies to go retro with high rise swim sets. We love the sets, but check them out for yourself and be sure to drop us a line to tell us what you think.

Fun Fashion: Sophia Webster Spring 2014

Sophia Webster

Aw spring… birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, bees are fluttering about and the sun seems to dance across the sky. No designer got into the spirit of the season more than Sophia Webster for her spring 2014 collection.

Models participating in the show wore hairstyles inspired by insect antennas, yet the amusement didn’t stop there. Models also toted bags that read, “High Flyer” and “You Buggin.” Their nails were painted with iridescent and pastel tints in order to keep with the theme.

We are always thrilled when designers infuse youthful vigor and festivity into their fashions. Therefore, this spring season when you’re getting ready for your day just have fun with it!

1966 Magazine Attends El Paseo Fashion Week Project Runway

El Paseo Fashion Week 2014

It has definitely been a whirlwind of a week, but it has all been worth it in the name of glorious couture.

We had the pleasure of seeing our favorite Project Runway designers showcase their latest designs. Typically, if you think of West Coast fashion – L.A. Fashion Week may instantly come to mind; however, not so fast ladies.

El Paseo Fashion Week is quickly proving to be one of the hottest tickets in town elevating fashion week show production and design. For the first night, we wore a LBD cutout dress (Arianne) and purple floral gown (Alicia).

Be sure to browse our additional posts to read our thoughts of the collections we observed during El Paseo Fashion Week.
