The era of the Baggy off-the-Shoulder top, jumpsuits, leggings and Shoulder pads has rapidly crept into trends of the NOW.
Well, I wasn’t alive in the 80’s but my mum was.
Having looked through some old photographs of her during that decade…i have noticed many similarities, in the way she dressed, with what i’ve seen around recently.
According to mama, that was a fun time for her.
Care free and upbeat.
She wasn’t afraid to take risks and experiment.
I admire her for that.
One of my favourite designers at the moment for A/W 2009 is the divine Balmain.
The very vibrant blues, sequins and the attention drawn to the shoulders, that are very exisitent in the designs, is what has got me.
Gosh…I wish i could afford some of the stuff, but for now i’ll be on the hunt for Dupes!
I mean, just check out the booties…

…Simply marvelous.
