Remember When? We Roundup a Collection of Modest Red Carpet Gowns from Earlier This Year

Since sequins and lace aren't always appropriate for every day, we don't usually like to reference the red carpet for trends... But the fact that so many young women, in a position to really push the sartorial envelope (and in warm locations that don't pose the need for full coverage!) decide to make a conservative choice, we take notice.

Modest Proposal - The Antithesis to This Summer's Cutouts and Crop Tops

If you're tired of this summer's body flaunting cutout and crop top trends, then this upcoming trend in modesty is for you.

We'll start our coverage (no pun intended) with these runway looks.

Lana del Rey Goes Mod in Russia

Sporting a look that almost straddled the line between Mod Squad and Love Child (we're calling it for Mod with that hemline), Lana del Rey "blue" us away with the late 60s look she donned at her Moscow performance late last week.

1960's-Inspired Songs from Wild Belle

Wild Belle got some traction last year from the music festival circuit, and their happy, slightly off-kilter tunes are the perfect background music for when you are dressing to kill in your mod shift dress.

Comprised of a brother and sister from Chicago, Wild Belle released their first full-length album earlier in 2013. Listening to their funky, 60s-inspired beats, you can tell they were raised by musician parents.

Elliot, the older sibling of the band, also started an afrobeat band when he was in college, which his sister Natalie joined later on.

Just in Time for This Heat Wave: SUITS!

It's hard to think about wearing anything other than, well, nothing, in this heat wave, but as they say, "the show must go on!"

Summer Trend in Stores: 60s/Mod

The 60s/Mod trend is still emerging and will continue to grow stronger, peaking next summer in 2014.

We found some great examples of the emerging trend in stores. Check out our findings after the jump!

It's Heating Up In the City

It's Monday and 95 degrees outside. When it gets this hot and miserable in New York City, things can get a little weird.

More people are outside, away from their hot apartments and looking for some reprieve from the heat in the form of air conditioning. Duane Reade, movie theaters and the service entrances to office buildings will do.

An Ethiopian Pop-Up Restaurant Brings New Energy to the Bushwick Food Scene

Bunna Cafe has been hosting dinners around New York City for the past year and their vegan Ethiopian fare has gained a following if their last event at The Drink on Manhattan Avenue in Brooklyn is any indication.

A small, three-person operation, Sam Saverance, along with his two Ethiopian partners, hope to continue offering their version of Ethiopian vegan food to city dwellers in a permanent home by 2014.

Lovely Swedish Vocals for a Cloudy City Day

Even though it's a cloudy day in Brooklyn, we are more than ok with the lack of sunshine if it means the sweltering weather from the past week is taking a break.

Now that everyone can relax without sweating, we wanted to share the other-worldly voice of Swedish-born Alice Boman.

Summer Trend Runway Inspiration: Mod/60's

Mod fashion has been creeping back into style for the past few seasons, but really goes full blown for late summer/ early fall of 2014.
