Lost Boys
Summer rolls round again, and with it a more whimsical spirit. Lose yourself in daydreams and doodle away your time. Pick up your picnic blanket, chew some straw and get back to the cornfields. It's retro, homely and carefree.
Rejoice people, for the summer is nigh. Funny how an extra hour of daylight can make such a difference – everyone smiles and a sense of freedom descends. Remember the carefree summers of youth - pointless wanderings, first romance and boundless adventure. But don’t think we’ve lost our edge, this isn’t boho. Think cowboys and lumberjacks – retro with purpose, cool yet completely accidental, clothes thrown together in a rush. Take heed from Lost Boys hero Corey Haim – even the most normal situations can hide dangerous escapades. [P.S. the straight to video sequel to the cult classic is due to be release this year!]
Doodles, inkblots and patchwork - the type of thing your mother would have told you off for doing to your school uniform. Creases and crinkles emphasis the look. Forget the need for ironing or hanging up. Step away from the highly tailored looks of winter, this is a much more relaxed affair.
If you want a benchmark for your de-evolution, channel this summer's hot tip MGMT. The sound is all about exploration and blurred bourdaries - easy transitions between electric, indie and the psychedelic.
Seek inspiration from by the shabby-chic; geometric patterns of yester-year found on carpets and old ladies’ handbags, worn out camouflages and your grandmother’s curtains. This is beyond vintage, its dishevelled and timeworn.
