Forget fancy recipes. Forget cookie decorating techniques. Today it’s all about fun with frosting—neon frosting!

Fall Style at Mirror80

September 21, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Monday! This Wednesday marks the official start of fall, and after a busier-than-usual summer, I’m ready to settle in for some relaxing fun this autumn. Isn’t it great when a new season is on the horizon, and you can pretend that it won’t be as crazy as the one that came before it? Seriously hoping to slow down a bit, though. Whether life calms down or revs up, I intend to keep a few of my favorite traditions alive in the coming weeks, so I’m sharing my plans with you today, complete with photos and links to previous Mirror80 blog posts. Lots of fall style to enjoy…

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 13, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

So we’re coming up on Valentine’s Day weekend, and I wanted to share a few of my recent photos with you. Let me start by saying that I know this is kind of a weird holiday. Like all holidays, it can be lonely if you’re missing somebody, and the heavy advertising at this time of year doesn’t help. With that said, I’ve always believed that Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to do something nice for yourself. And for the people you care about, including friends and family.

The Mirror80 Valentine’s Day Roundup

February 6, 2015 by Kate Leave a Comment

Happy Friday, Everyone! Since Valentine’s Day is a little over a week away, I thought I’d share some of Mirror80’s best “heart day” posts. While I know people have different views on this holiday (it can be a tough day, it can be a great day), I enjoy it because so many of the visuals can’t help but ooze retro style.

Happy New Year!

December 31, 2014 by Kate Leave a Comment

Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with realized dreams, boundless joy and LOTS of retro style! This is my favorite holiday of the year–there’s something about a fresh start that fills me with creative energy. I plan to spend the next couple of days reflecting on the past year and setting goals for 2015. I’m excited about where Mirror80 is headed, and I can’t wait to share some new developments with you in the coming months.

Retro Christmas DIY Fun

December 10, 2014 by Kate Leave a Comment

Today I’d like to share two DIY projects I recently created for Decoist! The first is a DIY Christmas centerpiece, shown above. Faux greenery and shiny silver spray paint combine with glass ball ornaments to evoke a retro-fabulous statement piece that screams Art Deco, Mid-Century and ’80s, all at the same time!
