why i would've loved living in the 1980s.

i've always thought what would it be like if i'd lived in a different era. i have a scrapbook filled with reasons of why i would've love to live in the 80s, 70s, 60s, and i'm sure i'll be writing down a list of other eras sometime soon as well. but, to get this (soon to be very image heavy) blog started, i thought i'd show what i appreciate about the 80s:

♥ New Romaticism:

* fashion - Vivienne Westwood; The Pirate Look

* music - David Bowie (1 ; 2); Depeche Mode

* book i wish i had - New Romantics: The Look by Dave Rimmer
