Inspiration from the Runways: The '80s

So as you guys already know, one of our shoots (and one of the reasons posting has been a little sparse lately), was centered around the '80s trends that popped up on the Spring and Fall runways. Our favorites were magenta, touches of neon, high-waiste sparkly minis, sharp-shouldered jackets, boyfriend pants and blazers, and sequins. Here are some of the specific shots that inspired us while we were prepping for our photoshoot. All of them are from the Spring shows unless otherwise noted.

Halston, Balmain, Balmain, (all Fall):

I still can't post pictures from the shoot, but I can give you guys a bit of a sneak peek as to what sorts of clothes we used on set. There was vintage Chanel (I just love saying that), Marc by Marc, William Rast, Dehner (riding boots), American Apparel, Nordstroms vintage, Dooney and Burke, Ali Ro, Cynthia Vincent, J. Crew, Madewell, and vintage Cartier. Get excited. Posting is going to be a little sparse today (as in, this is it), because there are a bunch of end-of-year school things Maud and I have to do, but we should be getting back to normal shortly, I promise! Sidenote: I'm going to New Orleans in 2 weeks, and there will be lots of pictures!
