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!!!
Grace le March 26, 2009 a 10:20 pm . .
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.

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!

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!

Foley le March 27, 2009 a 2:08 am . .
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!
Geneviève le March 27, 2009 a 2:12 am . .
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 !
Daisy le March 27, 2009 a 2:47 am . .
I also adore the 70′s! I love the photos and America – A horse with non name is one of my most loved songs!

Kiti le March 27, 2009 a 8:39 am . .
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 !

I love that period of time! The music, clothes, cars, …
It fascinates me!
jane le March 27, 2009 a 10:06 am . .
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 !
Lo Mezzo le March 27, 2009 a 10:53 am . .
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 !

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.

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

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.

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.

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 ! :)
marina le April 6, 2009 a 6:02 am . .
