Do the Hustle

One film - American Hustle - three words -vintage fashion porn.  A film about con artists but with a total 70s revival in all its glittery, glamorous glory. 

Plus it is as if somebody on the editing team had a love of vintage as much as i do - I've never seen so many close ups of sandals, not since sex and the city days. Amy Adams had 40 costume changes during the movie- lucky, lucky girl.


So how to get the New York 1970s look
  • polyester and sequins, preferably combined
  • knee length skirts or maxi dresses
  • over sized sunglasses
  • Plunging necklines and gold jewellery - lots of it
  • red nails
  • wide leg trousers
  • fur coats
  • floppy hats
  • and obviously some brown leather action - it is the 70s
This movie is definitely going into my filmspiration collection. Now I just need to find an excuse to wear big hair and a floor length gown..........i don't think morning hair and dressing gown counts.
