Reflecting on recent retro style
Well, it’s been a minute!
This year we’re keeping our “Thanksgiving table” simple with a fall picnic and fresh food.
A post on learning to run the race, even if you’re still figuring it all out…
Today’s post is about pasta. And unpredictability.
In today’s edition of ’80s Art Picks, we take a look at 6 retro-fabulous fashion posters currently for sale through eBay and Etsy. From Nagel-esque creations to the work of artist and advertising illustrator Michel Canetti, the selections below showcase both firm lines and fluid strokes. Enjoy…
Today’s edition of ’80s Art Picks shines the spotlight on vegetation, from flowers to branches. Foliage motifs were very popular during the Decade of Decadence, especially florals. Speaking of floral vignettes, above we see a Rare ’80s MIRAGE EDITIONS Poster Set from Etsy shop I Luv Belle Arte. Contrast is the name of the game in this duo of iris-themed posters featuring blooms and leaves outlined in gold metallic foil. Keep reading for more great ’80s art finds…
Ready for another ’80s art roundup? It’s been awhile since we’ve featured a collection of 1980s pieces currently for sale, and today’s batch explores the line between the tropical and the abstract. As it turns out, this line can easily be crossed–tropical and geometric art finds from the ’80s complement one another other quite well! Read on for a slew of fabulous finds…
Ready for a little escape? In this edition of ’80s Art Picks, we explore summer style with a series of retro and new finds that capture the colorful, beachy vibe of our warmest season. The brush strokes are wavy, the hues are tropical, and the lines are relaxed–like your ideal vacation!
A suit and tie. Red lipstick. A city skyline. Sophisticated imagery was everywhere in the ’80s, not only because it reflected key elements of the era’s yuppie culture, but because it evolved along with 1980s Deco style. In fact, when shopping for ’80s art, you just might find that you’re able to mix and match works of varying styles when they all share a chic feel. ’80s Deco prints, cosmetic ads and certain Neon Noir posters can all coexist in harmony. In our second edition of ’80s Art Picks, we focus on the finer things in life. Enjoy!
Happy Wednesday, Everyone! Today we kick off a new series called ’80s Art Picks! Every couple of weeks, I’ll be rounding up my favorite selections from sources such as eBay and Etsy. The focus: interesting, affordable pieces currently for sale. I love heading to Goodwill and other thrift stores for my ’80s art finds, but sometimes it’s nice to look for exactly what you want online and order the artwork of your dreams with the click of a few keys. Today’s theme is abstract pastel art from the 1980s.
Happy end of July! We have a pretty amazing week planned here at Mirror80, as I’m all set to publish Part 2 of my interview with Halt and Catch Fire Set Decorator Lance Totten. SO much ’80s style to celebrate! Since that post will clearly be the high point of the week, I’m sharing our July Favorites a little early. Did you miss anything this month? Here are some top posts, from a colorful summer party concept to a vibrant look at still life style. Read on for all the details…
This week at Mirror80, it’s all about the pastels. Rather than using a modern minimalist approach, we’re taking things in a decadent direction. From a post dedicated to the pink and purple Deco-modern interiors of the 1982 film Tootsie to an original photo shoot featuring a variety of 1980s ceramics, this week’s posts will offer a richly layered approach to pastel design. Today we’ve put together a sneak peek of things to come, as well as pulled images from past Mirror80 posts that celebrate the style at hand. Read on for details…
April was a great month at Mirror80, and I loved that there was a balance between authentic ’80s design and modern style with a retro twist. If you’re new to Mirror80, I’ll start by saying welcome! At the beginning of each new month, I publish a post that reflects on the month gone by.
Hi Everyone! On this first weekend of 2015, I’m setting goals for the year ahead. I thought I’d share my Mirror80 resolutions with you, not only because I’m super excited about them, but because getting the word out will encourage me to meet my goals. Accountability is a powerful thing!
