The color palette ranges from soft neutrals to petal pinks and bright reds; the accessories include beaded wood clutches, sheer elbow gloves, and clear hatboxes twisted into boomerang-shaped totes. I love the fresh, relaxed take on the mod/ Mad Men era; the clothes smartly integrate period ideas but still manage to come off as wholly modern.
