Christian Louboutin Presents...80s Neon?

8843138079?profile=original

As I was driving around Dallas yesterday, I decided to wander through the cute and cozy Highland Park Village.  I spotted the Christian Louboutin boutique, and hoping to find really cute shoes in the window, was instead taken aback by the plethora of neon-colored heels--orange, turquoise, yellow--clogging up the glass.  As much as I love pretty much everything about the 80s I simply cannot get on board with the neon Louboutin heels with spikes.  Louboutin creates beautiful shoes but this neon...

Thierry Mugler: Lady Gaga Catwalk Debut

8842881100?profile=originalThat's So New York - Retro- Futuristic was the theme for Thierry MuglerPlastic mixed with fur, patent leather suits, and sheer panels cutting in swaths for a dress or gown with extreme platforms tumbled onto the runway in a showcase of 60's furutristic, 70's punk, 80's body con, and 90's goth. The makeup on the models was as extreme as the clothing, and highlighted the sexual aggressiveness of the clothing. The models hair resembled antennae on each side of their head, prompting me to wonder i

Channeling The 60s And Beyond

8842879101?profile=originalThat's So New YorkAs we continue to see a strong past decade influence on current fashion, the Callula Lillibelle Fall 2011collection brilliantly translates the past trends into wearable modern pieces.  We see a nod to not just the 60s, but 70s and 80s as well.  From monochromatic mini skirt ensembles to chic wide leg trouser suits, Melanie Fraser Hart and William Calvert design feminine clothing that every woman can wear.  As with the styles of past decades, there is a strong resurgence in c

80s Purple Favorite: Big Bow Cuff

8842877095?profile=originalThat's So New YorkI am a massive follower of the 'american-prep' trend, and i couldn't think of a piece of jewelry or an accessory better fitting to this trend that this Big Bow Cuff brought to us by vintage retailer favorite, 80s Purple. This spring/summer when accessorizing we are aiming for everything to be oversized, the handbags, the sunglasses and of-course the accessories/jewelry. This Big Bow Cuff is a little preppy, a little flirty and very youthful, if you're a student or in your yo

Canvas Favorite: Grey Ant Split Black Dress

8842873874?profile=originalThat's So New YorkIf you love minimalist style and canvas designs, then this Split Black Dress is certainly a summer favorite. Grey Ant retailing via 80s Purple offer us this simple, shaped, canvas dress enhancing the waist yet covering the arms. In contrast to the covering of the arms we still keep a little leg flesh on show, debuting a hint of american-prep and vintage style. This seems like a practical dress, a perfect professional looking piece whilst we are able to transform the dress by
