Spring 2011: Organic by John Patrick... and Marc

The retro inspiration keeps on rocking in Spring 2011 if we can believe John Patrick. I love how simple and androgynous these looks are. Ladylike and casual the same time. And very easy to adapt to your own preferences: wear with heels for a grown up chic look, wear with some statement jewelry, wide rimmed floppy hats or printed scarfs to up the bohemien vibe, wear a cute little bow in your hair and some socks in your shoes for girlified simplism, ... shall I go on?

Marc Jacobs also keeps it retro, but his looks have sort of a sultry exotic nightclub vibe going on. The rich colors and almost sweaty looking make up make me envision these models shaking it down in a jazzclub in Cuba. Almost disco-70s, but more ladylike if you ask me. The bright colors and the hair and make up gave me a Sonya Rikiel feel that I absolutely loved.
