We are having fun reinventing this retro 80s hair accessory... you can imagine!

Well, Happy Birthday Madonna and happy birthday to all leos (I am one of those :)!
To celebrate let's go back to when we learned of Madonna (that's when she was born for us)... The 80's!
Her look back then is easily my favorite. I guess the Eighties look on Madonna is so attractive because back then she was innocent and real... a girl like us, ambitious, trying to make it happen in the Big Apple. When she was sporting this look of the 80's she did not and could not know she would be an icon, she was just herself.
Of course she also was young and cute (her daughter Lourdes reminds us of Madonna in the 80's today) and she made a look with what she had laying around the house, I imagine.

Of course many styling details pictured here are back in style today in 2011, including the duffle bag, the poka dot flats, head scarf bands, high waist jeans, boyfriend blazer, stacked bangle bracelets, etc. it's all here and now, but I have not seen that tightly tied scarf around the necks of our generation yet...
Madonna sported this tight tied style a lot, as correctly and fittingly repeatedly portrayed in these photographs. I'll steal this look for Fall!

Gosh! I saw 'Stayin' Alive' the other day on TV and was spell bound :) John Travolta was embarrassing but - hey - it was the 80's, so we have got to forgive him for that... The disco soundtrack is impeccable and you can't find any two things more in tune than those Travolta bouncing hips when he is walking to the Bee Gees 'Stain Alive' tune! He just said good bye to both the chicks BTW (in the movie)... It's a feel good moment.
And while it feels good, and I know you all are hanging out at the roof top parties and the art openings (at least I do), let me show you this new ABBA dress I designed... I think it's hot, frankly, I am already imagining someone hot wearing it and shaking their sweet curvatious booty to a disco beat - Aaaah! - those where the days weren't they?!
