Whiskey A Go Go
If you are not familiar with Whiskey A Go Go, it is a legendary rock club on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, California. It has played host since 1964 to some of rock and roll's most legendary folk: Janis Joplin, The Doors and Led Zeppelin. Oh to have been trippin' in that club in the 60s!
This little online shop, Threads in Time has a cute collection of Go-Go dresses. Those wonderful mini-mod style dresses often worn with boots. Think Nancy Sinatra and "These Boots Were Made For Walking" - but please don't mention the Jessica Simpson version...
The dresses were mostly characterized by bright colors, often with geometric designs and finished with belts. As long as they were bright, they could be seen by those watching the Go-Go dancers in clubs of the day.

40 Years of Hippies
Official Woodstock '69 Poster
It's been 40 years since the infamous Woodstock Music & Art Fair, a.k.a. Woodstock. Billed as 'An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music", it was held from August 15 -18 on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York.
Generally regarded as one of the greatest and most pivotal moments in popular music history, Rolling Stone magazine considered it one of the top 50 moments that changed rock & roll.
It was an outdoor music festival that attracted 500 000 people. Janis Joplin comes to mind as I think of all the fabulous boho styles worn that weekend.

An ode to bohemians and hippies of 1969.
Looking at the photos from Elliot Landy's collection, some could easily have been taken yesterday.

Some inspiration for your next Woodstock moment.
