That phrase keeps playing in my head and heart. My knowing is that this is to be the Summer of Love, come again. I looked up where the term came from and what it represented. Forty-eight years ago, young people gathered in San Francisco to express the love flame that had been birthed in the Sixties. From Wikipedia:

The event was announced by the Haight-Ashbury’s psychedelic newspaper, the San Francisco Oracle:

A new concept of celebrations beneath the human underground must emerge, become conscious, and be shared, so a revolution can be formed with a renaissance of compassion, awareness, and love, and the revelation of unity for all mankind.

My first attempt at a fashion article - trying out for a job blogging for a Montreal site so just thought I'd share with you beautiful people - after all - part of feeling good is looking good, and we already have the sixties love vibe happening here so all we need is our love beads and some tie dye and we're groovin'!  

love and light!

Retro chic is back with a nostalgic return to the 1960's for this summer's hottest looks. "Summer of Love" ethereal flowing bohemian style fabrics and prints promise romance, inspired perhaps by the Occupy movement's grassroots fight-the-establishment message, as the Age of Aquarius is ushered in with style!

Hot accessories are tribal and ethnic-inspired jewellery crafted from polished wood, bone and other nature-inspired materials.
