Hi Everyone! If you’ve read our last few editions of New Retro Weekender, you know that my weekends tend to be packed with DIY projects, blogging and other retro fun. This weekend I’m needing to do nothing but veg out. And I haven’t had a weekend like this in about four months. After a crazy week that consisted of nursing a very ill kitty back to health and continuing to finalize the plans for my move in June (all the while keeping up at work), I’m in need of a little break. Check out my plans below, then leave a comment and tell me how you veg out when life gets a little too full…
Friday Video Pick–DIY Makeover Edition: “Brand New Girl” by Julie Brown
Mirror80 wraps up DIY week with a makeover-themed music video from the movie Earth Girls Are Easy starring Geena Davis and Julie Brown. Stylistically, the film channels that magical blend of Mid-Century style and ’80s Modern flair. In the video for “Brand New Girl,” characters dance around a beauty shop that combines elements of 1950s decor and 1980s motifs a la Memphis-Milano design. Let the film’s sets inspire you and the makeover mood empower you to embrace DIY magic in the realms of interior design and fashion.
