Ali MacGraw

I know I've posted on Ali MacGraw before (here and here), but while I was working on my Top 5 Post with my mom, I found so many more great photos of her. I just couldn't resist! The headscarfs and turbans are killing me... I love 70's glamour. 

As an added bonus, here are some behind the scenes pics from us printing our "Ode to Ali MacGraw" tee in the studio...

Top 5 with....my Mom!

To celebrate Mother's Day I decided to ask my Mom to do this week's "Top 5 with..."  I thought it would be fun to ask her these sorts of questions since we don't usually discuss these topics. I talk to her almost every single day and I never knew what her favorite movies were... or words that she would use to describe falling in love?!

So, here are a few of my mom's favorite things...

2. The Way We Were

4. Gone with the Wind

5. An Officer and a Gentleman

Love Story

"Love Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry"

With a collection entitled  "A Girl in Love," how could we not reference "Love Story"? One of the greatest love stories of all time, a total sob-fest, and from one of my favorite decades ever- the 70's. And Ali MacGraw- she just nailed it- she is the image of the 70's, so beautiful and so natural in a way that we just don't see anymore- the stick straight long brown hair, parted in the middle, little to no makeup. She is a style icon- I've said so before, a lot of us have. Anyhow, watch this video with the sound on...the music kills me every time.

Another reason to love Ali MacGraw? She was married to Steve McQeen....who I am still crushing on, even if he is long gone. She also reminds me a little of my mom. So there. Here's the shirt we made because of her....

Ahh...Love Story. HUGE inspiration for the Fall/ Winter collection of Every Little Counts. There is no other movie that portrays fall and winter so stylishly as "Love Story".

With Steve McQueen...Ah!

LOVE this sweater!
