One of my mum's friends has kindly lent me some scrapbooks filled with magazine cuttings she collected back in the seventies. It's really fun looking at them all and comparing all the trends back then to those of this Autumn/Winter. As the styles of the seventies are making a comeback I thought I would share with you some of the cuttings that struck me as being relevant to today's fashion.

I would like to say a special thank you to Judith Staley for lending me her fabulous scrapbooks. I think I'll be photocopying some of the looks and sticking them in my own scrapbook!
Love from Lou Lou
