Dorothy Hamill Haircut

Is everything going retro, or am I just getting that old. I swear I have seen a couple young ladies with a Dorothy Hamill Haircut recently. Of course, I guess this should not surprise me. They don’t want to admit it, but a lot of the hairstyles today are retro …

Vintage Finds For A Modern World: Madison Belle.

There's a brand new vintage-inspired online shop that I'm really happy to share. Madison Belle is an online lifestyle boutique, based out of New York, created for those who lean towards decorating and entertaining with a retro, whimsical flair, ranging from country inspired styles to vintage, modern, to a little bit shabby chic. Madison Belle encourages an eclectic mix, with the idea being that you find things that express you, and they all work together to become your style, and yours only. My

Vintage Apple Mac cufflinks

I can honestly say that these vintage Apple Mac cufflinks are the most geeky things we've ever featured on Retro To Go. Yes, those are Apple Mac keys, but not just any Mac keys - they're apparently taken from a rare circa 1980 Apple III integrated keyboard, a pricey of kit in its heyday, selling for up to $8,000 at the time. And now it's just spares for fashion accessories. They come gift boxed and are certain to light up the eyes of the geek in your life - price is $74.95. Find out more at

Best Of 2008: Mommies

It seems like everyone was having babies in 2008! But with celebrities, it’s different. With the never ending lights and the paparazzi that seem to have more right to your space than you do- not even a hair could be out of place. Pregnant or not. So, for the mommies who kept that in mind, I have a BEST DRESSED MOMMIES OF 2008 list for you: 6. Angelina Jolie While expecting her 14th child (okay, maybe not number 14), the seasoned mom kept everything at a minimum. Never wanting to take too much a

Lots O' Pictures: Jessica Alba Takes Salma Hayek's Spot As The Face - And Boobs - Of Campari

Jessica Alba has the Honor (Eh? You like that?) of being Miss Campari 2009. Or Mrs. Warren-Campari, we suppose. Former Miss Camparis include Salma Hayek and Eva Mendes. For her part, Jessica Alba, in typical Jessica Alba fashion, refused to disclose any details about her role as spokesmodel until her actual calendar photos were finally revealed. She was photographed by noted photographer Mario Testino amidst various retro-looking beach scenes. With a mere 9,999 calendars printed each year, you'

MILK SWEET LOLITA STORE IN HARAJUKU, VISUAL KEI & DARKWAVE SONG OF THE DAY.

† View Comments Got Milk? Meiji Doori (the busy Harajuku street) certainly does. The Japanese fashion brand originated in the 1970s and is viewed as the precursor to Lolita style.

NEWS: New Balance 1500 x eYe Junya Watanabe Comme des Garcons Man

Here’s one that we didn’t see coming, a very casual looking pair of New Balance 1500’s with design duties by Junya Watanabe as part of the eYe Junya Watanabe Comme des Garcons Man collection. In a somewhat similar fashion to the vintage Nike runners he worked on a few years back, these joints take things back by employing subtle details such as vintage tongue tags and a retro font on the heels. Apart from an extra set of insoles and special shoe bag, these Japan exclusives also come with a pr

Tactile iPhone case concept goes a long way to pleasing the visually impaired

The era of the Great British Media Brand

I was asked recently to speak at the Campaign/ APG Battle of Big Thinking. A few publisher types such as myself were tagged on at the end of a day of agency planners pontifications on life, the universe and everything (there was a lot of quantum physics, for some reason). Anyway, this was my contribution. It wasn’t quite in tune with the day - but it went down OK, I think..Some of the stats/info might be out of date. Also - I snaffled lots of the photos in a hurry not thinking about using th

Book Review: Things I Wish My Mother Had Told Me

Things I Wish My Mother Had Told Me: A Guide to Living with Impeccable Grace and Style is by Lucia van der Post, who is (was?) a columnist for the Times of London. (The book came out last year in the UK, I have the new Americanized edition.) I hadn't been a reader of Ms. van der Post's (and was dismayed to find that she thought the Marc Jacobs "Tribute" bag was "witty"), so I surprised by how much I enjoyed her book. First off, Ms. van der Post is a woman of a certain age, and that age is o

I love rock’n'roll

RETRO! Sex, Drugs and Rock’n'Roll: The 60s Revealed, Five, 9.00pm Forty years ago, a Canadian broadcaster, Bernard Braden, conducted 300(!) interviews with some of the key figures of 1968 - from actors like Sean Connery and Lynn Redgrave, to pop stars such as Tom Jones and Lulu to big names in fashion, sport and politics. His original plan was to revisit the celebrities every few years - sort of like a 7Upfor famous people. However, despite the mammoth scale of the project and the size of so

Amerie: Because I Like It

I've finally gotten rid of my ten-year-old-plus imac and purchased a Macbook, which means that blogger is much, much easier to deal with. To celebrate, I figured I'd start posting highlights from the back catalog (or I like to think of them as highlights, anyway.) To start I'll be reprinting some of the music reviews I wrote for Bitch magazine in 2007.)AmerieBecause I Like ItColumbia RecordsThis is Amerie’s first album without producer Rich Harrison, and she takes the opportunity to demonstrat

Disco Lights!

This weekend, I capped off my Thanksgiving turkey fest with a fabulous 80s-style ball. Though much can be said for our current era of plums and metallic grays (more on that soon), one can’t help but miss and love the 80s era of pink and black punk couture. (Check out my dress, at left!) With that in mind, I think you must pick up Disco Lights, a limited Holiday 2008 edition high-shine lip gloss with built-in, multi-colored flashing disco lights on the lid and a mirror on the case. This is so
