What's all the Hoop-la?

Summer is finally upon us and I'm drawn to a time when boho was sheek (still is) with long flowing frocks, wavy sun-streaked hair, beads, sun-kissed skin, leather gladiators, and hoop earrings.  Oh how the 60s looked so sexy!  Love and Peace were on everybody's minds during a time fraught with civil unrest and war.  Well the 60s are back - without the civil unrest - and hoop earrings are all the rage once again.  There was a moment in the 80s when hoops the size of one's head with teased out bangs were the style - thank goodness those days have not returned!  Now the style is soft and feminine hoops some with touches of fun and funk, others with dreamy romance.  You can find hoops pretty much anywhere these days so I've picked a few for you that I found from Banana Republic, Anthropologie and Forever 21.


The options are endless and you can really play them up, dress them up, make them fun and colourful or go back to the basics.  Keep that sexy 60s vibe going and wear those hoops with pride!




















Happy shopping!
