Girls just want to have fun

I have always been a fanatic about 80's music. "Girls just want to have fun" " Material Girl" Madonna and Cindy Lauper. Oh my gosh, absolutely legendary. x

BUT the fashion??? I alway told myself high waisted slacks, shoulder pads, acid wash jeans, leg warmers, bodysuits and fluoro would never come back into fashion. How could they? there gastly.

Guess what......THERE BACK. And even more surprisingly Im loving it. I actually have never been so excited about fashion...

I think the 80's inspired fashion is so much fun, lots of colour. Florals mixed with stripe, then teamed with opaques lace and leather. Accessories, Acessories, Accessories. Gold mesh mixed with pearls. What's not to love about mixing all this up. I now think how stylish high waisted pants look, and they make total sense. Low waisted jeans, with knickers hanging out, they're just a total NO NO this winter 2010.

I have a crush on this photography

As some of you may know, Im totally obsessed with the art of photography. Check out this 80's inspired chinese fashion photography I discovered. Celebrated as the best fashion/beauty photographer from the "born in the 80's" generation, Chen Man (陳曼) made a significant impact when she photographed covers for the Chinese fashion magazine Vision from 2003 to 2007.

The women boldly captured by her lens are colorful and sensual, courageous and playful. Her aptitude in Photoshop and lighting is what sets her apart and above her peers.http://www.chenmaner.com/
