I make fun of my mom all the time for being a pack rat, but some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe are her old hand me downs.

She wore this jersey halter dress to a wedding decades ago and it reminds me so much of the fabulous Halston dresses '70s icons like Bianca Jagger or Farrah Fawcett wore to Studio 54 in its heyday.

While 1960s Mad Men esque style reigned supreme on fall's runways, many designers drew inspiration from the hippie era for spring.

From boho chic favorites like flared pants, suede and fringe at Roberto Cavalli to slinky disco appropriate jumpsuits à la Bianca Jagger at Gucci, every sartorial aspect of the decade was touched on this season.
