YOU, ME, AND ANGELYNE! L.A. ICON’S TRUE IDENTITY REVEALED!

Leave a comment

Everyone knows Angelyne.

A staple of Los Angeles culture, and a precursor to the “famous for being famous” antics of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian; this mysterious blonde bombshell exploded in the 80s with the wish to be famous. You can’t miss her wild billboards or that sexy pink corvette. Even if you don’t know her name – you know here. Trust me. You do!

I love the term Hollyweird, and Angelyne definitely lives up to Los Angeles’ reputation for eclectic characters and unbelievable tales of transformation.

Always a lady of mystery…not much has ever been known about her; The real her, at least.

Most of the time, you can’t make up stories as intriguing and mind rousing as simply searching for the truth. That’s exactly what Gary Baum chronicles in his latest article for The Hollywood Reporter which has got the internet buzzing!

+CLICK HERE TO READ THIS AWESOME ARTICLE+

 

While, I feel a little sad that her mystique has been stripped away, there’s no denying that we are only going to experience an even bigger renaissance of Angelyne and all her bright pink glory.

I wonder how she feels about all this? There are many paparazzi videos of her on the internet, and she seems to hate that kind of attention. Either way, this article does not detract from her legacy as a patron saint of Hollywood….

Everything about her IS Hollywood. The dream to be a star. To be worshipped. Iconized. And of course…the fakery of it all. It’s not a bad thing. I think its empowering to be able to be whoever you want to be.

And that’s why she remains a hero to so many people. In fact, we had posted the original article on our FACEBOOK page (GIVE US A LIKE for cool stories, inspirations, and updates), and we
got a lot of response! I had promised a few people I would share this crazy documentary on Angelyne I had found while perusing the depths of Youtube, so thought why not just feature it on our site!

 

Angelyne definitely has a place here at The Eye of Faith. She is mysterious, enigmatic, beautiful, rebellious, independent, weird, and definitely has a singular sense of self that people would only ever even dream to attain.

 

Angelyne is still alive and well today and pushing her persona to the max, so do her a favour and follow her on Instagram! I was absolutely shocked at how little followers she has on there! So don’t waste the moment, people!

+FOLLOW HER HERE+

Above all else, I feel like Angelyne represents the magic of the feminine. The mystique a woman can harness and use as power in their life. From nothing to something….that’s magic, in itself.

Until we meet again,

Beautiful Coral 1970s +BOHEMIAN GODDESS+ Summer Maxi Dress

Leave a comment

 

For me the goddess is the female of God, She is powerful if different.
-Tina Turner

 

If you’ve had the chance to peruse our 2017 VINTAGE SUMMER LOOKBOOK perhaps you noticed this stunning 1970s coral maxi dress with sheer bell sleeves! 

It is such a phenomenal piece straight from the psychedelic 70s. If you haven’t noticed we’ve really been vibing for a psych rock summer, and this has all the appeal of a simpler, more beautiful, and compassionate time. 

We were lucky enough to have the beautiful and bold Raymona to show off its innate glory. 

 

And when we say Goddess – we don’t meant he domestic type. The E.O.F. +GODDESS+ is fearless and romantic- adventurous and educated. She loves the {PAST}, lives for the {PRESENT} moments and dreams for the {FUTURE}.

Most of all, she loves to have fun – and isn’t afraid to stand out in the crowd. In fact, she prefers it …and relishes in that very moment when everyone is asking – “who’s that stunning woman?” 

 

Luxury doesn’t have to come with a thousand dollar price tag. 

Luxury is the freedom to be you to the fullest, and the best expression of that is your style. 

Live out loud. Live free. We are stardust. We are golden (or in this case, maybe, coral)…

Remember friends . . .

XIXIXI gets you 25% off in the {SHOP}

and we now offer FREE SHIPPING in CANADA, with reduced rates to all other areas of this magnificent globe.

So, do you have the +GODDESS+ in you? Have a party, wedding, or fun summer festival to show off at? More details below!

{MUSIC MINUTE} Josephine Siao Covers Gary Puckett & the Union Gap’s “Young Girl”

Leave a comment

josephine19

We might not be familiar in the least with the name Josephine Siao, but in Hong Kong she remains one of the most beloved stars of all time. Starting her career as a child, she quickly became one of the biggest teen idols of the late 1960s, and made a very successful transition into adult roles.

Its easy to see why, especially in this insane music video of the young star covering American rock band Gary Puckett & The Union Gap ‘s classic song “Young Girl”. We loved the colours and retro-future vibes, as well as the insane 60s fashions, so wanted to bring this hidden gem to the forefront as is our mission here at The Eye of Faith!

Our eyes are open, our eyes are open

WIDE.

Until next time,

{STYLE WISE} This is no Mirror, a Twin is Here.

1 Comment

Turns out two is always better than one, we’ve recently discovered that theres a serious upside when you get double for the money.  No matter the bargain, or the price, we can find luxury in abundance.

Traveling the world, discovering the new and exotic, there’s so much to fathom, we aren’t sure if we could handle it all all by our lonesome.

 Two Eyes are indeed better than one.

We wouldn’t be bias, and select only the femme fetale who walk on the wild side, oh no no.  We have seen many people, far and wide, far and few between when it comes to quality.  We have found men and women all different but with something the same;  A twin.  Arguably stylish, but always in style, we’ve found double trouble when it comes to cool.  Enjoy this share of photos that are all equally timeless.

 

Sincerely,

{theEye}

I Can See! I Can See The Eye!!

7 Comments

There is something to be said about what can be seen, and there isn’t very much to say when you can’t see at all.  We are taking a closer look at a Cat Eye, or Horn-rim.  A  bug-eye or no rim?? What are we talking about? Why, the wonderful world of corrective eye-wear!

Dating back to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, we find the first known case of ‘magnification’ depicted as ‘simple glass meniscal lenses’.  Evolving further to the days of Emperor Nero of Rome, when a globe or glass was filled with water to aid in enlarging small written text, it is also said that Nero would watch the Gladiatorial Games using an Emerald as a corrective lens.
Personnel style does not take a back seat when it comes to sporting frames for focusing.  Invented for the genuinely blind,  but manufactured in gross nowadays with plain plastic lenses for modern-day hipsters. We’ve taken a journey through decades to discover just how far we’ve come.  Glasses for fashion, glasses to see, but most importantly, a pair to focus on you and me.


The Eye.

Truly Outrageous and Beautifully Bold!

6 Comments

You may love the hair colour you were born with, but life truly truly truly is too short to pass on an opportunity to go NEON! And why stick with just one tone, you can keep changing your locks, and go brighter and brighter than the time before. One bold head of fuschia, or maybe one strand of hot pink, with some blue tips. We say run to a local pharmacy or beauty supply store and grab a can of cheap can of spray on temporary colour, and have a hair colouring party!

This is no passing trend. Perhaps popularized by celebrity culture with star’s like Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Katy Perry all donning techno coloured tresses, this is a look that’s cool from the red carpet to the city streets.

Timeless on 80s icon Cyndi Lauper, you can trust to see her with some wild colour. We take some personal inspiration from cartoon rock star, Jem, and her band the Holograms, where hair and its height had nothing to do with God, it was just BIG and outrageous! Even rock/pop goddess Gwen Stefani showed off pink hair in the 90’s, unfortunately to mixed reviews proving she marches to her own fashion drummer’s beat. We don’t think the world was ready yet back then, sometimes trends and fads need some breathing time before they can come back fully in swing. But we say buck the trend! Now’s the time to show off!

This isn’t just a trend for the ladies either, this one is for all the young dudes out there! We’re seeing a lot of guys sporting colours from deep blue, to hot pink! Colour isn’t defining orientation, no no no. When we want to feel aggressive and hit the town, we pick up a can of punk’d Green, toss on a leather jacket and nobody fucks with us. Trust you can rock this style, and no one will question you.

This is truly a look that crosses the board. Whether your an Indonesian punk or an American bread grunge kid, this look is for you! People need to stand out, especially in our consumer junkie world where what’s hip and cool is in yesterday’s paper’s before it’s off store shelves. This is a simple, timeless way to add a little extra something to your signature look.

We hope to see some invitations to upcoming hair colour parties soon!

Is Freedom Free?

It’s always nice to get a new look! We’re celebrating ours with a quick little PHOTOBLAST session. This one is short, but sweet.

What makes you feel good, and can we ever like our decisions? The world is changing so fast, and can ever feel isolating as our world changes so fast! We think always feeling good is a unique opportunity you have as an individual, but we also think we can be generous to the Earth in the mean time. That means taking care, people!

Over 3 trillion pounds of used textiles are thrown to waste every year. Lets restore the beauty, and the cool, and keep the spirit of vintage alive.


We want comments, so let us know how you feel.
