One of the main hairstyles of the 80’s is the good old crimped side ponytail. The modern crimping iron was specifically invented in 1972 by Geri Cusensa, the original founder of Sebastian, for Barbara Streisand’s hair. The newly created “crimped hair” look was considered very hot and copied by many people. The crimped look got [...]
At the grand old age of 7 I was given a Girls World Styling head for my Birthday. This toy provided me with countless hours of make-over fun. This poor doll was drawn on with Crayola Crayons, she had her hair hacked, she had what was left of her once beautiful hair covered with food [...]
I remember being quite scared of David Bowie’s Nether regions the first time I saw the Labyrinth. It was quite traumatic as a seven year old to see that!! Other than old Dave’s dodgy mullet and Codpiece, this film is a work of genius!!! The film can be bought on Amazon.co.uk. Also available is The Labyrinth Soundtrack and [...]
The shoe of the decade had to be Dr Martens in the 80’s. Universally loved by men and women, this shoe company will always be cool an they are also supremely comfortable! (I still have mine from the age of 13 and they are moulded to the shape of my feet) DM’s as they are [...]

I am entitled to wear this T-shirt! This style of T shirt was made popular by Wham who proudly declared that they were going to [...]

I would suggest wearing this with some very skinny black Jeans, Hot pink stilletoes and Black Sparkly Leg warmers, and get on that dance floor and spin until you spew!! Purchase this [...]
If there is a look that is bang on trend at the moment it is the stretchy dress!
Nothing screams 1980’s more than a dress so tight that you can see what the wearer had for dinner! Wear with towering heels and add colourful accessories to be on-trend this season. Sienna Miller was seen wearing a [...]
In the eighties it was esential to have at least one strapless dress with a ra-ra skirt. The rule was…the brighter the dress..the better. I spotted this beautiful green number on ASOS It comes in white or green and would look stunning with some stilletoes.
If you really want to go mad, throw on some chunky [...]
If there was one staple poster on any girl’s wall in the 1980’s, it was the Man with Baby poster. This iconic photograph melted the hearts of millions and was the last thing that teenage girls across the globe looked at before going to sleep at night. Click here to go to Art.co.uk
