What can I say — two icons of my youth pass away on the same day, and I get nostalgic. I couldn’t resist this nod to Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett (inspired by Casa Sugar’s “Inspired” posts like this one). Even if we may not have been a fan of their personal lives or even their work, no one can dispute their status in pop culture. –Mary T.

Farrah Fawcett — Though she originally hailed from Texas, the 1970s pinup was the quintessential sunny California girl. Here are a few breezy selections in her honor.

And of course, the iconic Farrah poster, shown here in Nate Berkus’s Milan apartment, starting at around $20 on eBay.
