Fashion Editorials from "Look" and "McCalls"

I've been going through my massive collection of vintage magazines and the images in them are so good I have to share. Unfortunately my scanner is too small to fit the magazines so I have to take the photos with my camera so the quality isn't all that great. Here's some inspiration for you all from 1969 and 1970, enjoy!

A 'Sears' ad in the February 1970 issue of McCalls. This would be a perfect coat to bridge the transition between spring and summer. The green color is refreshing after all the dark winter colors. 

These next photos came from the same issue. They are part of a spread called "The Petite Prints of Paris"

I love the outfit on the left. The belt looks like it has little golden keys as an accent. Also, clips on blouses and dresses need to make a comeback. 

I can't say I'm a fan of these looks but I love the chokers. This signals the 70s edwardian revival. 

These next three images are from the December 1970 issue of 'Ladies Home Journal'

I would wear either of these crocheted outfits. My Gran tried to teach me to crochet when I was little but I just couldn't get it. 

This is such a gorgeous hairstyle that wouldn't look out of place at a party today. Although there is nothing wrong with looking dated, it never bothered me. 

I love the metallic accents in the knitting. 

The final images are ads from the April 29,1969 issue of Look magazine. I have quite a few issues of Look and they are a delight to look through. 

 Here's a close up shot of the Admiral television ad. Isn't this a great hairstyle? Alos , look at those fantastic sleeves on the outfit of the girl in the ad!

It's unfortunate that the models legs were cut off in this Chevrolet ad but her outfit is beautiful. I love the rich colors and the large gold buttons on her coat. 

There are so many cigarette ads in vintage magazines. I really love this models outfit and I'm not a huge fan of purple but I would wear this. 

Vintage magazine clippings.

Some changes have been made to the blog today. Have you seen the new header, what do you think of it?
I'm throughly enjoying this crisp fall morning. I'm  getting caught up on some design homework while listening to the 'Goon Show'. I wanted to get in a quick blog post though. So, without further adieu here are some fashion shots from a 1969 issue of McCalls and some from a 1971 issue.

Check out these fashionable ladies. The woman on the left is making me want to rush out and hunt for a jumpsuit. I also think that women should wear gloves again. 

Check out those accessories and that fantastic scarf! This issue is from January 1971 but I think this look would work for a crisp September day, what do you think?

 Now this is what I call travelling in style! Check out the bell sleeves the woman on the left is sporting!

In need of some hair inspiration? Why not try this stylish 'do? Look at this woman's fantastic choker. 

I love the t-strap heels the woman on the right is wearing, I have a pair similar to these. I'm not too keen on what the woman on the left is wearing though. 

Well, I hope you've all enjoyed this quick Saturday post. Did you get any style inspiration? 

I have goodies!

I'll keep this short and sweet for a Saturday morning. I found a box of magazines in my Mommom's attic and a lot of them were ladies magazines, McCalls, Ladies Home Journal etc. Anyway, I want to share the things I find with all of you. So without further delay, I present to you selections from the December 1969 issue of McCalls.

Doesn't that look good!!

1969 London Fog add. I want all the coats. 

Fashion spread. The hairstyle on the left is fantastic, the shirts meh (except for the one on the left)

I hope everyone enjoys these and there will be lots more to come!
