Inspired by the Decades: 80's

I just had this imagine in my head of that crazy house party in Sixteen Candles and I thought how cool that would look as a background for a photo shoot. These are photos from the movie, 80's inspired clothes and modern day items that fit the theme. Who doesn't love a little 80's fashion?

Boots Are Forever

Boots are in right now and lately I've seen them paired with warm socks, which I think is not only a practical but extremely cute look! (I found these pictures on the Free People shopping site.)

Miss Matched

I am totally in love with this trend. Whether it be a leather jacket with gray sweatshirt sleeves and hood (Topshop), a green "military" jacket with leather sleeves (Urban Outfitters), or a denim jacket with leather sleeves, I want it. It's a genius creation because I love my denim jacket and I love my leather jacket, now I can have both.

Burberry

The campaign is old news, but I just recently realized my appreciation for it. This Burberry ad campaign was brilliant. I loved the mellow color scheme, the setting, the models, everything. But the item that really caught my eye was this gold twisted dress. I think it looks great on Emma Watson of course, and it gives the outfit a little bit of flair while paired the khaki colored trench coat and belt.

My Fashion Bible

I actually received this last Christmas but I took a break from reading it, and recently picked it up again. I'm just amazed at all of these successful people's journeys to the fashion industry and/or their current job. Everything sounds like a lot of work and dedication but absolutely worth it. I can't wait to one day be a part of it.

Obsessions

One of my new obsessions are sequins. I saw a sequined jacket in Teen Vogue in the summer and have been hunting for some sequined clothing ever since. I'm currently in Boston, so I went shopping on Newbury Street and happened upon my second new obsession: Marc Jacobs. Before now I had never actually stepped foot into a Marc Jacobs store. I left the store with three new items of clothing, a knit long-sleeved dress, a striped sweater, and this beautiful sequined sweater. The whole store experience was so amazing, it is decorated in such a funky-cool way and I wanted to buy practically everything. As Christmas rolls around in a couple months I might have to add some Marc Jacobs items to my wishlist.

Whitney Eve- Runway

Whitney Eve is Whitney Port's collection/clothing line. I think that Whitney did a very nice job of incorporating both edgy and "pretty", with rougher pieces as well as a soft color palette. All of her clothes are something that I would want in my closet. In the show The City, Joe Zee, of ELLE magazine, critiqued her and said that it wasn't really a collection, but a clothing line. I completely agree, these are items I can see in stores, but don't necessarily fit on runways.
