"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! That's all I ever hear is Marcia!"

There's a reason that famous line was uttered by Marcia's tv sister, Jan Brady. Marcia was kind of fabulous in her own wholesome 60s SoCal way. Fabulous enough that we were inspired to pull together a sale full of Marcia-era staples - funky, double knit dresses, flower power prints, and citrusy colors.  

1. Twiggy-Era Striped Dress, $65; 2. 70s Floral Cardigan, $35; 3. Yves Saint Laurent Red and Turquoise belt, $75

Nifty Pursuits: Vintage Cocktails

Sure you could have a beer, or even swill champagne all night. But when it comes to New Year's Eve, wouldn't it be that much more fun to mix up a few  drinks from the days when cocktail, not keg, parties were the way to socialize?

Just add some air kisses and start calling everyone "dahhhhling!", and trust us, you've got yourself one memorable night ahead.

Get the Look: Sharon Tate

Though 60s actress Sharon Tate's life ended with an unspeakably heinous tragedy, we'd like to take a few moments right now to remember her as the beauty she was. 

1. Arm yourself with liquid liner, and draw a nice fat line on the upper lip in a slight cat's eye shape. 

2. Layer on a sparkly black or charcoal eye shadow over the liner, up to the crease of the eye, and blend upwards. Apply a little to the lower lid, from the corners in, and smudge with a q-tip. (We love NARS Night Series eyeshadow in Night Breed.)

3. Brush a light, illuminating shadow or highlighter on the inside corners of the eyes, and over the brow bone. 

4. Add a few false lashes, or apply a few coats of lengthening and volumizing mascara from the roots to the tips. 

5. Finish off the whole look with a pale, shimmery lip gloss. A classic nude-y pink like NARS Orgasm is a no-fail choice. 

6. Add a sparkly dress and your best pout, and off into the night (or day, for you adventurous glamour-pusses) you go!

Clockwise from upper right hand corner: bareMinerals eye color in Vanilla Sugar, $14; 60s Pink Mini Dress, $85; NARS eyeshadow in Night Breed, $24; Ardell eyelashes, $3.25; L'Oreal Voluminous Millions of Lashes mascara, $8.95; NARS Eyeliner Stylo in Capartes, $27; NARS lipgloss in Orgasm, $24.

INSPIRED: LOVE STORY

Sure, a movie about two (really) good looking people overcoming class barriers in the name of their love is always going to be a good story. But what's kept Love Story  a perennial favorite may not just be a super-dramantic plot line, its probably also the clothes. Scene after scene of New England cold-weather collegiate hallmarks, like wool kilts, camel coats, and furry hats, these tried and true pieces can certainly withstand another year of replay, just like the movie. 

1. Camel Wool Trench Coat, $125; 2. Brown Chunky Knit Sweater, $55; 3.Faux Fur Hunter Hat, $29; 4. 60s Plaid Pleated skirt, $55, 5.Leather Briefcase with Gold Buckles, $115

WETHEURBAN’S TOP 25 SONGS OF 2012

Oh, what a truly amazing year in music this has been! Compiling this list was one of the hardest things to do considering all of the great material musicians of every genre served up this year (probably the best this decade so far).

Lana Del Rey, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Azealia Banks, Grimes, and Charli XCX are some of the many acts whose hit tracks made WeTheUrban’s Top 25 Songs of the Year list for 2012 along with so many more. Kick back, turn up your speakers, and enjoy these tunes after the jump:
