Missoni, 1972

It's a cold and dreary Monday.  I had a crazy busy weekend.  This photo expresses exactly how much energy I have right now.  Missoni can help anyone fight the blues.  Co-ordinating green and white checked separates in wool jersey by Missoni, 1972.

Weekend Eye Candy - Pierre Cardin, 1972

August is here, and with it we change our focus to Fall fashions.  This coat by Pierre Cardin is from 1972.  I adore the cut out sleeves backed with black, along with the black patent belt and buttons. 

Halston - 1972

Now that Sarah Jessica Parker has parted ways with Halston Heritage and backer Harvey Weinstein and designer Marios Schwab are also out, perhaps it's time for a look at some original Halston garments from 1972.  Above, an angora and wool skirt is tied at the waist and worn with cashmere pants.  Recognize the necklaces?  Elsa Peretti designed them for Halston.

Bulgari Necklace - 1972

I thought I would start my Christmas list early.  I am head-over-heels in love with this Bulgari necklace from 1972.  Black onyx and diamond stripes set in gold.   Yes, that will do nicely!
