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.
As we’re less than a week away from Season 3 of Stranger Things, it’s time to kick the countdown into high gear! If you’re reading this after watching Season 3 and you’re looking to revel in a big dose of retro fun, this post is also for you. Hawkins, Indiana is ready, and so is Mirror80.
On August 15th, Mirror80 celebrated its 8th birthday!!!! Yes, I started the blog back in 2010, before the ’80s design revival had officially hit. Memphis-Milano hadn’t been mined for New Memphis possibilities, and only a handful of ’80s interior design images were available online…
Today I’m happy to announce a new series on Mirror80. Ever wanted to immerse yourself in a specific retro motif or aesthetic? Today we start with colorful geometry that channels a party vibe.
Hi Everyone! Next week we return to our regularly scheduled programming with the launch of a new series here at Mirror80. In the meantime, I wanted to share a few Easter styling photos I snapped for my Decoist writing gig. Some of the patterns involved may be of interest to those who love ’80s design.
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.

Today Mirror80 turns 7! Yes, 7!!! It’s amazing to think about the first post I wrote back in August of 2010, followed by an interview with a vintage vendor who shared some of the hurdles that would have to be overcome in order for a full ’80s design revival to occur. Fast forward 7 years, and not only are we in the middle of an ’80s design revival, it’s definitely going strong!
This year I’ve been searching for the perfect tribal rope necklace to wear with my ever-growing collection of comfy tees and tanks in bright colors. I didn’t find quite what I was looking for, so I decided to make my own. You can go big with this DIY tribal necklace project, but I really wanted something on the thin side, able to be worn everyday with the most casual of shirts. So here’s what I came up with…
What a spring it’s been! Many of you know that we welcomed a daughter earlier this year, and we’ve been thoroughly enjoying every minute with her. Today I’m sharing some snapshots from a few of my most recent creative projects, starting with the streamers above…
Hi Everyone! It’s been a big week at our house. My husband and I welcomed a baby daughter! Our hearts are full, and we are totally smitten. I thought the whimsical, retro-modern decor featured above and below was a fun way to share our announcement, especially since these very photos inspired me as we prepared for the baby…
