Holiday Snapshots

December 14, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Holidays! It’s been a whirlwind of activity here at Mirror80, as I’ve been styling a variety of seasonal shoots for clients, and I’ve also been decorating the house for Christmas. I thought I’d share some of the fun in today’s post, including a sneak peek at a new Mirror80 shoot (details on the blog Wednesday). Hint: it may or may not involve spiked hot chocolate. Let’s get started…

Christmas Past, Present and Future

December 1, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

nstead of taking a look back at our favorite posts from November, today we’re traveling to the past, reveling in the present and looking forward to the future. I started this blog in 2010, and by 2011, I was definitely ready to get festive when the holidays rolled around. So let’s see how Mirror80 has celebrated seasonal style throughout the years, starting with Christmas past.

Retro-Modern Halloween Ideas

October 26, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Halloween week! Instead of rounding up our favorite Mirror80 posts from the last month, we’re rounding up a batch of our favorite Halloween ideas. Some of them were created, styled and photographed by Mirror80, and some are the work of design bloggers we admire. Read on for lots of retro-modern inspiration, from Memphis-Milano pumpkin decorating techniques to some sinfully delicious recipes for your Halloween junk food binge.

Mirror80 September Favorites

October 1, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

It’s been a vibrant month here at Mirror80! Can you tell I’m celebrating the color and festivity of summer for as long as I can? But as someone who loves design, I’ve also noticed that this year more than ever, designers, bloggers and retailers have been putting a unique spin on fall (rather than getting wrapped up in the usual fall motifs). Pastels and even pineapples are emerging as trends, and this makes me realize that each new season or holiday is exactly what you make it.

Fall Style at Mirror80

September 21, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! This Wednesday marks the official start of fall, and after a busier-than-usual summer, I’m ready to settle in for some relaxing fun this autumn. Isn’t it great when a new season is on the horizon, and you can pretend that it won’t be as crazy as the one that came before it? Seriously hoping to slow down a bit, though. Whether life calms down or revs up, I intend to keep a few of my favorite traditions alive in the coming weeks, so I’m sharing my plans with you today, complete with photos and links to previous Mirror80 blog posts. Lots of fall style to enjoy…

Weekend Snapshots

September 7, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Labor Day, folks! You’re looking at an art installation by Rachel Simone Weil, who I interviewed last month right here at Mirror80. This past Friday I went to an open studio at Mass Gallery in Austin and was able to see her display of ’80s and ’90s femme arcade ephemera (I’ll share more details below). Throw in a lovely visit with my Mom-in-Law, some modern landscaping, and a few new blogging endeavors, and I’ve enjoyed a picture-perfect holiday weekend…

Mirror80 August Favorites

September 2, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

It’s been a very busy August here at Mirror80, but a chill month at the same time. Does that make any sense?! Somehow for me it does. Lots of great things happened—Mirror80 turned 5, I had the honor of featuring an amazing home tour here on the blog, and I took a little beach vacation. See what I mean by energizing yet chill? All good things!

Behind the Scenes at Mirror80

August 24, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

Hi there! Just wanted to check in and give you a peek behind the scenes…a little bit about what’s going on in my life and a little bit about what’s going on with the blog. Most of the time, the two seriously overlap!
