I am forever checking out vintage ads and editorials, it is interesting seeing which models were used in which,the poses,photography, styling and of course the garments themselves. Some can be quite inspiring. I stumbled upon these vintage Versace autumn/winter 1994 campaign ads on the Versace campaign ad thread on The Fashion Spot.

They are so typically 90′s Versace but also remind me of Cher’s wardrobe in Clueless and other memories from that decade. The cropped pastel knits, barely there shiny metallics, pop socks, the pop brights with cut outs.

To recreate the look, throw on this blush pink crop cardigan, frill ankle socks and sunglasses from Topshop. Shimmy into the gold tube skirt from American Apparel and my oh my, you are now oh so mid 90′s Versace girl.

Lace has a certain charm that draws me to it time after time.My beloved lace pieces are vintage or vintage inspired. This 1966 vintage U.S Vogue editorial as shot by Bert Stern from Vintage Fashion Magazine blog has me lusting after the dresses in the second and third images respectively.

How gorgeous is the back of the beautiful dress in image three?

In more current times lace has certainly not lost it’s appeal,the Paul & Joe blouse is so enchanting! Would look amazing even with a simple pair of jeans. I love the Louboutin lace effect sheer heels and the Eun Jeong coat is perfect for the girl who just wants a touch of lace.
