A New Future Hippie!

Hi everybody! :)
Many of you know that I've had a vintage clothing shop called Future Hippie for quite some time. The whole shop is getting a makeover and I have lots of new items coming in! I'm going to be carrying more psychedelic clothing and reconstructed vintage for the girls, and the guys section is being phased out (sorry guys). For this reason ALL guys vintage is $15.00 or less and EVERYTHING for the ladies is on sale from 20% to 50% off. This means super cute vintage tops, 1960's mod dresses, 80's jumpsuits, boho vests, hippie maxi dresses, and most items between $10.00 and $50.00!

I've also added a new Future Hippie Blog which focuses more on the "nouveau hippies" and trendsetters of the future. Please stop by, add Future Hippie to your blogroll and share some blog love ♥♥♥

I will still be posting on Hippie Couture regularly so stay tuned for more fun posts including upcoming news on the 40th anniversary of Woodstock!

Here's just a few pics of what's currently up in the Future Hippie Shop.....

Vintage 60's Mod Yellow Striped Top w/ Matching Belt or Headband $19.00

Men's Vintage 70's Butterfly collar Disco Shirt $15.00

Vintage 70's Flower Power Multi-color Sundress $29.00

Zoe Kravitz in ELEVATOR FIGHT

I know what you're thinking....WHAT? Elevator fight? Is she o.k.? The answer is yes, actually better than ever! Zoe Kravitz, the daughter of mega rockstar Lenny Kravitz, has ventured out into the world of music with her new band called Elevator Fight. I was skeptical at first, but after one listen I was hooked! Zoe has a great voice, the band rocks, and she lights up the stage like a shining star. Of course she is also one of my favorite future hippies! ♥

Not only is the 20 year old following in rocker dad's footsteps, she is taking to the big screen as well, much like her famous mom Lisa Bonet. Zoe is set to star in the upcoming movie "Twelve" alongside fellow cast-mates Chance Crawford (gossip girls), Emma Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, Ellen Barkin, among many others. The story is about a young high school drop out who deals drugs to Manhattan's young and elite. The flick releases in 2010, I'll definitely be checking it out!

Here's a few pics of Zoe with Elevator Fight, on the Twelve set, and a video of her and her new band. Enjoy!

Love All Around,

Sasha Pivovarova SO Hippie Chic!

One of my all time favorite models is Sasha Pivovarova, she just radiates confidence and beauty! I love the Moroccan theme of her photo shoot in the May 2009 Vogue Italia, especially since Morocco was such a "rich hippie" destination in the late 60's. It attracted rockstars and models like Jimi Hendrix and Talitha Getty.

I've posted about Sasha before which you can check out here, and also a really fabulous shoot with her and Dhani Harrison here.

And now the gorgeous pics from the Vogue shoot....
Love All Around,

Today's Inspiration 1960's and 70's Wallpapers

I'm always on the lookout for fun pics to add to my inspiration folder and stuff to share on Hippie Couture. I came across this site called Rato Records Blog that is just packed with info and pictures of 1960's and 70's records, as well as some fabulous pics from that time period. He has a whole section dedicated to wallpapers that are free to download.

I don't know how long I spent sifting through all of the amazing pics on his site, but it was almost the same feeling of thumbing through the actual vinyl in a store! Below are a few of my favorites. Just click on the wallpaper, right click and save to your desktop.

For the complete selection visit Rato records Blog. Enjoy!!! ♥
