’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

October 22, 2018 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Halloween season, Everyone! Since we’re a little over a week out from the big day, I thought it was time to update the ’80s Halloween playlist I created two years ago. While this collection of music videos leans New Wave and a bit goth, there’s a little something for everyone in the mix…

The Blob vs. The Pumpkins

October 12, 2018 by Kate 2 Comments

Happy fall, Everyone! Each year I style a Halloween photo shoot featuring a pumpkin project with themes such as “terrazzo” and “iridescent”. This year’s Halloween shoot is inspired by the 1988 remake of The Blob, along with current trends in art and still life photography.
