Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood Is Back On Netflix UK! Here's How You Can Dress Like Them...

 

It's back! Without a doubt the most exciting film for vintage fans back in 2019, Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood is back on Netflix in the UK and we couldn't be happier.

Set in 1969, this Tarantino special has some of the most celebrated actors in the world (Leo, Brad, Margo Robbie from Babylon and Austin Butler from Elvis) - but more importantly for us, some of the best '69 aesthetics we have ever seen!

We therefore thought it was only right that we dedicated a TOG blog post to this sensational film, as well as our top vintage picks from the site for how you can dress like the legendary characters.


First up on our style list is Rick Dalton, aka Leonardo DiCaprio - and I honestly can't decide whether I prefer his swanky 60s LA look, or his 'in character' 50s Western cowboy look!

Either way both are iconic and so easy to recreate! Just grab your roll neck, pair with your favourite jeans and pop on our original vintage brown suede jacket!


One of the best things about this movie is the general 60s Hollywood aesthetic, and of COURSE we love all the outfits the hippies wear! 

Whether you love crochet, floaty cottons or boho prints, the costume department nails it in this and make us so excited to bring pieces like these back to the site in time for summer!


The hippie look has always been one of our faves, and though right now isn't May in Los Angles (not for us anyway), we have some perfect pieces to achieve the free love vibe even in the cold!


My two favourite scenes by far is the party that Sharon Tate goes to, and when we meet Rick's wife Francesca! If only we could go back in time and go to a 60s Hollywood house party and honestly, if someone can make me the red crochet jumpsuit that Francesca wears, my life would be complete!



And though my red crochet jumpsuit dreams are a little way away, I thought these dresses would fit right in at the party and make excellent additions to your 60s wardrobe.



I also like to think Sharon Tate would be a big fan of our handmade dresses, as modelled by our very own Sharon, Alex! Made from authentic 60s fabric, these dresses are so fun to style up or down and even come with their own matching beret. 


I hope you enjoyed our TOG take on Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood! If you haven't seen it, you definitely should, and if you have seen it, I hope you're as excited as we are to dress up in all the grooviest vintage clothing! 

Peace and love, Caitlin and Mark x

Music with Mark! Garage Legends: The Monks vs The Sonics.

Hey guys, welcome back to another music with Mark! The 1960s are my favourite musical decade and for me, The Monks and The Sonics are two of my favourites. They had relatively short careers but were hugely influential on me, my tastes and how I like to dress. When we're working away in our studio sorting through mounds of vintage clothes or making some handmade treasures, we love nothing more than playing their albums and turning it up to 11. The Monks: In Monk's Robes Dave, Larry, Roger, Eddie and Gary were a group of American GIs stationed in Germany and formed The Monks in 1964. They dressed in black, wore winkle pickers, a rope around their neck and even went as far as to shave bald patches on their heads (tonsures). While I'd not go as far as shaving my head, I definitely dug their choice in shoes and along with The Horrors, they inspired me to get myself off to the vintage markets and vintage shops in Camden to hunt for shoes like theirs. They released their only albu...

TOG Talks with The Meyer Dancers!

Happy July TOG babes! It might be a bit late to say that but the month is flying by! With festival season in full swing, we thought we would bring you a blog that you can read for those long journeys to the fields. This month we are so excited to chat to the grooviest dance troupe in the UK - The Meyer Dancers!! London is so lucky to have this sensational sisterhood, teaming with energy and embodying everything about the 60s and 70s! Having appeared on TV, music videos, and at festivals and events all across the UK, The Meyer Dancers are a pillar of the vintage community, so we get to know them a little better! We have been a fan of you guys for so long! Tell us how you founded the Meyer Dancers? A group of us met whilst studying dance over 10 years ago, we shared a joint passion for music, all things vintage and the colourful essence of the 60s and 70s. We were inspired by the strong female characters in Russ Meyer movies so that's where our name originated from! We started t...

Music with Mark! Beat the January blues.

Image
Hey! January is here and with it a slight malaise. I try to shy away from the doom and gloom of January and blue Monday because it’s the start of a new year and anything is possible! I promise I’m not going to go full on Almost Famous and suggest listening to Tommy in full while burning a candle, but January is a good time for ritual and ceremony! So these are some of the songs I like to listen to on days when I need a bit of a pick me up. ROADHOUSE BLUES – THE DOORS I could write a whole blog about The Doors and I probably will at some point because they’re my favourite band. They’ve got loads of songs that are a pick me up but this song has the line “I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer” while I’m not explicitly advocating morning beers, the thought reminds me of summer festivals and also, sometimes, it is just nice to have a morning beer. Jim was on to something. This is The Doors at their blues rock best - driving guitars, sexy harmonicas and wonderful almost honky-tonk ...
