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.
I’ve made no secret of my love for Halloween! It’s a purely fun holiday, filled with treats, festivity and costumes. Why not take it a step further with a special dessert I like to call the Reese’s Peanut Butter Milkshake? Keep reading for the recipe and details…
Happy Spring! It may not be official yet, but once the sun returns and Daylight Savings has passed, it’s spring as far as I’m concerned. So I’m celebrating with a colorful photo shoot that features some of my favorite spring things, all set against a backdrop of silly string. Because this time of the year is all about vibrancy and fun!
At the end of last week, I styled a DIY air plant terrarium for Decoist, and today I’m sharing a few photos from the shoot! Looking for Valentine crafts to create for friends and loved ones? The soft hues of this easy project evoke a retro vibe that’s totally on trend, and you can customize the terrarium with the artful objects of your choice.
As we start winding down for the long holiday weekend ahead, I wanted to wish all of you a wonderful, colorful, relaxing Christmas! However you celebrate the holidays, try and find a quiet moment in the middle of the festivity, and make time to connect with the people you care about…
Happy Holidays! Don’t forget to make them sparkle. Today’s post is all about the power of a silver fringe curtain. And creme de menthe. I’m all about easy-to-prepare holiday snacks, and this one takes the cake. Or shall I say, takes the truffles. Serve popcorn and store-bought truffles, and wash them down with spiked hot chocolate. You’ve got your sweet, your salty and your minty, thanks to the “spiked” part. Read on for details…
Happy Holidays! It’s been a whirlwind of activity here at Mirror80, as I’ve been styling a variety of seasonal shoots for clients, and I’ve also been decorating the house for Christmas. I thought I’d share some of the fun in today’s post, including a sneak peek at a new Mirror80 shoot (details on the blog Wednesday). Hint: it may or may not involve spiked hot chocolate. Let’s get started…
nstead of taking a look back at our favorite posts from November, today we’re traveling to the past, reveling in the present and looking forward to the future. I started this blog in 2010, and by 2011, I was definitely ready to get festive when the holidays rolled around. So let’s see how Mirror80 has celebrated seasonal style throughout the years, starting with Christmas past.
Instead of one large Mirror80 holiday gift guide this year, I’ll be sharing a few roundups from some of my favorite brands. Folks, these aren’t sponsored posts. I’m just a loyal customer who can’t help myself when I find an affordable shop consistently offering amazing modern decor. And those who know me well know of my obsession with CB2. Here are some of my favorite CB2 gift picks with retro-modern style. And they’re all under $30!!!…
If you’re a fan of geo style and you enjoy a good non-traditional fall table, today’s post is for you! I’m sharing a Thanksgiving tabletop I designed for Decoist, and my inspiration came from current trends such as mixed metallics and geo objects. A DIY table runner made from scrapbook paper, an affordable bouquet of copper-toned mums, and a few white pumpkins are other highlights. Read on for a sneak preview of the design…
Happy Halloween week! Instead of rounding up our favorite Mirror80 posts from the last month, we’re rounding up a batch of our favorite Halloween ideas. Some of them were created, styled and photographed by Mirror80, and some are the work of design bloggers we admire.
