Today's style inspiration: '60s ads

When it comes to cultivating a signature style, the Rage avoids most fashion magazines. Flipping through glossy pages that dogmatically dictate a certain look reminds her of listening to nuns go on about how to be a good person. The truth is: You inherently know what's right or wrong when it comes to humanity and your personal style. Trust yourself. Or turn to friendly and familiar sources, like Taschen's books on fashion ads from different decades. At $9.99 a pop, these 200-page books provide enough inspiring looks to last a season or two. The "60s Fashion" book (softcover) shows all the decade's best looks, from Correges NASA-inspired get-ups to YSL's Mondrian dress. The Rage pores over these pages before she shops. They make a great gift for a stylish friend or someone stuck in the wrong decade too. Check them out here.
