Today’s post is about pasta. And unpredictability.

A Retro-Modern Fall Table

November 23, 2021 by Kate 3 Comments

Today’s post all about fall table inspiration. With a dash of ’80s style and a few of my current favorite finds, I was able to create a spread that’s easy to throw together (but also achieves an abundant look)…

’80s Escape: Pizza Night!

June 28, 2019 by Kate Leave a Comment

Ready for another retro summer experience?! This time it’s all about the pizza. Because back before we knew the dangers loading up on carbs and sugary soda, indulging ended in a wonderfully full stomach…and (if I’m being honest) a slight queasy feeling. God, I miss the ’80s!

A Retro-Style Iced Tea Break

June 25, 2019 by Kate 3 Comments

This summer is all about escaping into the ’80s! Today let’s escape the heat with a tall glass of iced tea. Not artisan tea. Grocery store tea that you steep in boiling water, then pour over ice and garnish with lemon!

’80s Restaurant Food Trends…

December 24, 2018 by Kate 5 Comments

There’s nothing like the junk food kids had at their fingertips during the Decade of Decadence, but there’s something extra special about the high-end dining experience created by chefs experimenting with beautiful presentation.

A Golden Girls Friendsgiving

November 14, 2017 by Kate 2 Comments

Welcome to Mirror80’s Thank You for Being a Friend-sgiving!!! Because there’s no other way to host friends this Turkey Day. Taking inspiration from The Golden Girls (is there any other ’80s sitcom to reference for this holiday?!), the ambience is part tropical and part glitz, all capped off with a warm glow.

Do These 3 Classic ’80s Cocktails Hold Up?

September 27, 2017 by Kate 4 Comments

This post is waaaaay overdue! Imagine that–you try to write about the staying power of 3 ’80s cocktails, and life keeps getting in the way. From rodents in our attic to a possible root canal, there have been so many “real life” interruptions over the last two weeks, I need a cocktail now more than ever! So here goes…

A Tropical Summer Mocktail

June 28, 2017 by Kate Leave a Comment

Today’s post celebrates all things tropical! Plus, I’m sharing a recipe you can enjoy all summer long. It couldn’t be easier to make, and it’s a summer mocktail that packs a powerful punch…

A Rainbow Unicorn Milkshake

May 18, 2017 by Kate 1 Comment

When it comes to consumables, there are some seriously crazy-amazing unicorn milkshake recipes out there, topped off with sculptural candy creations for the ultimate sugar rush. This one is lower on the candy content but higher on the ’80s style. Because this is what happens when you attempt to turn a rainbow unicorn sticker into a drink…

An Easy Cocktail with a Lemon Twist

April 27, 2017 by Kate Leave a Comment

Today I’m sharing a super easy cocktail that can be mixed in 5 minutes… Plus, I needed a reason to show off these new Cylinder Pink Champagne Flutes from CB2. $2.95 apiece, folks! With a few simple ingredients and a splash of retro flair, you’ve got yourself a showstopper. That’s affordable. And delicious!
