In the 70’s

Oh, the 70s!
A lot of people consider it one of the worst decades for fashion.
I, on the other hand, love them! I love the 70s for the music, and I love them for the clothes. It is also an era that was graced with quite a vibe!
I decided to try to recreate that vibe by grouping together some of the clothes and objects I own that I associate with those years.
Hey, just because I was born in 1985 doesn’t mean I can’t take a little trip back in time! Are you ready to be blasted back to the past? I’m turning on the time machine… let’s go!

Music: America - A horse with no name

Ah, les années 70 !
Une période que beaucoup comptent comme l’une des pires au niveau stylistique.
Pourtant, c’est une époque que j’adore, autant pour la mode que pour la musique … et puis les années 70, c’était aussi toute une ambiance !
Une ambiance que j’ai essayé de recréer en regroupant quelques vêtements et objets que je pense coller avec ces années là.
Et oui, Ce n’est pas parce qu’on est née en 1985 que l’on ne peut pas faire un petit tour dans le passé ! Alors, prêt à remonter le temps ? Je met la machine en route, et c’est parti !

Oh, Alix, your blog is something…
i am addicted!!! you have so beautiful stuff!!!
With this pics, i remembered those images of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, when they were so mimetic and got dressed like twins…specially the total white look with a floppy hat just like the one you wear!!!
Wow! I would love one of those gorgeous record players… Where I live 70s merchandise is so hard to come by! I absolutely love your blog.

any decade you choose to recreate always looks so wonderful, every post is a dream come true
I love the white blouse and your mini VW bus!
I want a record player too!!!

You are fabulous! Your blog is so lovely and inspiring.
C’est un trés belle reportage! J’adore ce combi-short!
Your pictures are always so stunning, I’m so in love with your blog!
That first photo of you is beautiful
Take care xxx
This is so amazing, there is a 70s street party in the city of Sydney this weekend to celebrate how a historic area (The Rocks) was saved from demolition in the 1970s — and I was just wondering what I was going to wear!!! Well done Alix for your preternatural timing!
Alors là je crois que ce sont mes photos preferées…..Sublime!
GORGEOUS!!! The record player is just divine! Where did you find it? The mini van is too cute too!
xx
beautiful! you are a master of photography!
C’est vraiment tout ce que j’aime dans cette époque: poésie, candeur, douceur, amour…
Tu m’as fait voyager, tes photos me remplissent de joie en ce matin tout gris. Alors merci :-))
Elles sont superbes tes photos… J’adore cette période… Ça me rappelle une photo de ma mère, avec des grandes lunettes, un pattes d’eph et une brassée de jonquilles dans les mains… Nostalgie, quand tu nous tiens !
Tu m’inspire beaucoup! J’amie lis ton blog et c’est bonne pour practiquer mon francais. Ja viens de Suède. Merci beaucoup!
j’aime beaucoup la lumière de ces photos…
:)
fais tourner le calumet de la paix ma soeur!! j’adore la mini wolkswagen.. tu nous conduiras dedans hein? sinon ta robe psyche et ton combish te vont à ravir!!! tu es taillée pour cette periode!! bisous alixou!
C’est sûr que la mode des années 70 c’est vraiment pas ma tasse de thé mais je trouve que tu la porte vraiment bien! J’adore la tenue avec le petit short bleu et la blouse Chloé! C’est doux, frais, ça sent le printemps, j’aime!
I ADORE those glasses… and brown wedges are fantastic, I have a few pairs myself.
x
i love the 70’s! floral dresses, huge platforms, and flowers in your hair…what more could you want?!
Très joli look 70’s :) Cela te va partuculièrment bien, je trouve que ton visage et ta coupe de cheveux se marie à merveille avec ce style.
Je ne sais pas si tu as vu Harvey Milk, mais je pense qu’il pourrait très fortement t’inspirer, les images y sont superbes et tellement teintées de 70’s!
Cela me met de bonne humeur dès le matin ! J’adore la robe avec les imprimés psychédéliques ! En fait, c’était une extraodinaire fantaisie, débridée… pas franchement en vogue dans notre cycle actuel !!! C’est pour ça que cela fait du bien ! Merci pour cette plongée dans un passé un peu mythique !
I also adore the 70’s! I love the photos and America - A horse with non name is one of my most loved songs!
j’aime beaucoup ta série de photos (même si je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais ça me donne froid ;-) ). J’adore la blouse chloé avec le short et le combishort.
YOU JUST TRAQNSPORTED ME TO THE 70′S.. EVEN IF I NEVER WAS THERE ;)
WOULD HAVE LOVED TO LIVE THE VIBE, WEAR THE CLOTHES AND DANCE TO THE MUSIC..
YOU HAVE STYLED UP THE ERA NICELY!

Salut!
I’m very sorry, I can’t speak enough french to ask you this, hope you don’t mind english.
Anyway, I was just thinking, how tall are you? Because you seem soooo tall, like me, but still you can wear awesome heels and wedges without looking like a tree or something.
And the other thing, what’s your story, briefly? I know you have a lot of work to do without my pointless questions, but I do hope you could tell me about your education and stuff.
I’m going to spend a year in France as en exchange-student and I just adore France! And I adore your blog, haha :D.
Well anyway, hope you have a lovely spring !
Kiti
That is so awesome! Love that last picture!
voilà un petit moment que je lis avec intérêt tes articles mais je me décide que maintenant à laisser ma trace. enfin juste pour dire que j’ai flashé sur les lunettes rondes à la john lennon!
OMG, awesome!
You so gorgeous!
70’s and 80’s ALWAAAYS!
Xoxo.
The 70’s are my absolute favorite as well! Everything is amazing, but those vintage wedge shoes of yours…gah! So perfect!
I love that period of time! The music, clothes, cars, …
It fascinates me!
pourquoi, mais pourquoi les 70’s devraient être catalogués dans le pire de la mode ? j’aime tellement l’association motifs fleuris et jean patt’ d’eph !
Tes photographies sont magifiques. Le combi-short imprimé, les socquettes dans les compensées et la blouse dans le minishort…J’adore, j’adhère ! 70’s fever ! 70’s forever !
I am starting to embrace the fashion from teh 70’s. Especially all the mini mod dresses! Love them!!!
Your record player is amazing. My friends are going on a road-trip and they are going to have a yellow VW bus…there is a stove in the back. It is pretty amazing.
Hello! I loooove you website so much, i’m such a fan! i really like your jumpsuit with the mini flowers, so cute! it really reminds me of this - http://www.freepeople.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.detail/productID/2f9b8b7b-4767-4e05-8a45-7a4c2cc22e5e/cmCategoryID/683d4023-53f5-4900-b5ce-ecf465df31a9

oh you make me wanna go running to London just to get these gorgeous jumpsuit from Topshop…I’m crazy in love!
loving the chloe blouse with the shorts.
Worst decade? Who are these people? The 70s = the best decade ever. The best for music, fashion, public figures, literature, everything. I’d like to give these people a serious talking to. Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Chris Bell, The Doors, The Clash, The Kinks, The Byrds…..the list goeso on. My closet it chalk full of 70s dresses and I intend to acquire more. So in short, I completely agree with you.
I love the van photo. My dad used to have a van like this in the 70’s!
I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! Beautiful pics!!!! Greetings from Rome :-) PEACE & LOVE!
I tagged you dear!Check out my blog plz! :)

Hi!
Firstly, what a wonderful blog you’ve got. :) It’s truly like taking a step into a different and most wonderful world! I try not to visit the blog too often but want it to be like a treat, something extraordinary, as your blog is not something you should be able to take for granted. It’s faaar to special. And you are ever so talented in many ways - at photography, writing (both in English and French) and fashion! Fantastic!
Secondly, I was wondering where the black little dress your friend wore in London was bought? I absolutely fell in love with it and would love to buy it…?! :)
Take care! Lots of love and hugs /Emma
What wonderful shoes!
Fantasti creations!!! Brilliant!!!!
Who hated the 70’s i mean doesn’t everyone love hippies that’s why we now have modern day hipsters!
Hippies –> Hipsters
Same thing with a new name.
Quelle jolie rétrospective ! même si, comme toi, je suis née dans les années 80, les 70’s me font rêver et m’inspirent…
Très belle mise en scène!!!
BRAVO

i totally adore the 70s and your blog!!! your posts are so so so gorgeous! love love love them!

I have that Hippie book! And I would love to own those sunglasses, they are quite the showstoppers. My sister was listening to the Hair soundtrack today, and I def felt some nostalgia for the era I never got to experience. The 70s seemed so whimsical and romantic, I love them too.
OMG! Where can i buy that adorable cd-player? I love it!
Best glass ever !
Hello there beautiful girl!
Have I got it right that you live in Paris?
I and my friend are going there in a month, for a few days, and I’m so much looking forward to it! so I would like to ask you what places are the best for vintage and second hand shopping, and do you know any nice markets and other nice shops? I guess you get this question quite often but an answer would make me more than happy.
many hugs from Sweden and Emmy.
I love the wedges with the socks!

wow! belle séance photo! elles sont vraiment belles!
J’aime beaucoup ce blog, l’ambiance générale des photos, les vêtements… Mais la même question revient toujours pour moi : Pour acheter ces centaines de vêtements, accessoires, petits objets.., où trouve-tu l’argent? Quel métier fais-tu?
Même si tu ne trouves pas le temps de répondre, peu importe, continue à nous faire rêver ! :)
Salut! C’est la 1ere fois que je vois ton blog (site) et je dois te dire que j’aime beaucoup tes series vestimentaires et tes photos (particulierement celle avec le chat et celle la).
Bref, gros bisous.
si un jour tu refourgues ces jolies lunettes à la janis joplin, pense à moi :)
