Rhinestone Rhapsody

February 18, 2013 by Kate Leave a Comment

One of my favorite things about the current ’80s revival is the way today’s designers have reinvented the best of the past. From ’80s-style clothing that actually fits to over-the-top patterns that are cheekier and more intentional in their craziness, there’s something refreshing about giving good style a second chance. Which is why the current rhinestone resurgence could not be edgier or more fabulous! In fact, today’s slew of rhinestone finds are bolder, more angular and more daring than the originals. They revel in their own shine, combining color and form in ways that vintage pieces didn’t ever attempt. We think you’ll love today’s featured finds. The best news: they are absolutely affordable!!!

Happy Valentine’s Day all you ’80s-lovers!!! For today’s featured images, I went back in time to the Valentine’s Days past of Mirror80.

Glamming It Up with ’80s-Style Jewelry

October 1, 2012 by Kate Leave a Comment

Maybe it’s the backlash against the handmade, crafty aesthetic of Etsy, or perhaps people are looking for glamour with an edge… Either way, this season’s ’80s-style jewelry has knocked our socks off! For years, we’ve been scouring vintage boutiques for solid collar necklaces and Deco-style earrings. You know, the stuff that many an ’80s lady wore to the office, then later to a night at the club. 1980s glam style has returned to the mainstream, thanks to retailers like Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters. This calls for a celebration, so you’ll have a place to wear these not-so-subtle finds!
