oh the 80's!
the colors, the cuts the over sized items and total camp nicknaks that
are just too damn adorable to ignore. It was a special period by far
( to my opinion the fashion nation was swept away on some extremely
strong hallucinogenic drug).
I find the color schemes, iconic symbols and cuts fascinating and I try to incorporate them in almost every item I do (I also have 2 main lines that feature this love,
Dance On Glass and
Street Beat).
So I decided to dedicate this blog to the wonderful 80's, not actual items from the period, but inspired by, adapted and made to bring back the spirit of the time with an edge to suit this
time. shall we call them 80's inspired street style items?
So lets go!
the prints I was talking about earlier, and the pink and black color scheme complements each other so well!! Going on with this color them, this
pink and black polka dot and zipper print bustier is just iresistable, so special and so out there you have to love it!
younger I had a sneaker print sweatshirt which I just loved and this top is so reminisent of that:)
Moving on to a slightly different cut, this big
stripe V stitch slouch top is just so cool and effortless, just put it on and walk out in pure style.
Still feeling the cold bite of winter? no worries Iv got some 80's
inspired duds to perk up your winter closet!
gloomy goth clubs of the 80's but with a
death rock twist.
one of my favorite items ever, they are so smoking hot and they glow under black light, making them the perfect clubbing shorts.
These
tartan and zipper Capri pants are super comfy, they are perfect for lounging with around the house or for going out.
And how can you rock the 80's look without
tights? these two legging will do the trick any day,
Are you looking for accesories? you know I found them for you!
Off course as we know, in the 80's hair was the thing, but im not going to give you big hair tips (those will come in another blog) Ill just show you these uber cute finds to dress your hair up:)
I featured EmmaB's hair clips in an earlier blog, but they suite this one so well I had to put her here again, because this
pink cupcake XL hair bow is just one of the sweetest things ever, and is so reminicent of madonna's early style.
Another felt option , this
arcade barret by MafiosaGrrl is deffinitly one of the coolest and kookiest ideas I came across, I has to give thumbs up and feature it here.
Let go over some jewlary now shall we?
These
lego rings by ChocolateMintCrafts are a good choice for any tom girl who misses her childhood toys, and they come in such a veraiet of colors you can match tehm up with almost any outfit!
I had feature these
2 bags from kleinlevy because I just couldnt choose one, these are seriously my dream bags, I love the graffiti work on them, with loads of layers details and colors!
and now for your smaller items, this
mixtape pouch by abreakastudios is perfect for carrying all your important small items (lipstick, phone etc) and if you need a protector bag for your Ipad, you have to by this adorable
Ipad pouch by nokomomo, who can resist those printed 80's shades?
As you know I always leave the more suprising items for the end of and these are it:
you can imagine my squeels of joy when I found this
rainbow piggy bank by starless, think about putting all your small change in that sweet thing!
I was contemplating if I should put these
pasties by CheesecakeBurlesque under jewlary or clothing (well arent they jewlary for the nipples?) , but I decided to put them here, as they are definitly the most interesting pasties I have seen in a while! I love the spiraly rainbow vibe they have, if your into pasties these are the sweetest ones by far.
so what can I say, love them or hate them, the 80's sure were special! mix and match items from here with your wardrobe for that funky kitch touch and you will be dancing hystericaly in the streets in no time:)
XOXO
