80's Night Out

Imagine your ideal night out with the gals. I was able to experience that little dream of mine last Saturday when a couple of my girlfriends and I traveled to metro Detroit to experience this cover band called The Mega 80's. I have forever wanted a night to get all dressed up crazy and mix-matched, pick up the gals, and go dancing to my favorite songs from growing up!

This was the outfit I initially wanted to wear, however, the skirt was a tidbit too snug, so. . .

. . . this is what I ended up wearing. Aahh, much more comfortable, and definitely tons more colorful.

My fun friends. Getting ready is almost the best part!


Ready to dance!

The band played all sorts of fun 80's pop rock during the 1st part of the show.

It's Maverick and Iceman. We developed a lil' crush on these cool guys that dressed up like the Top Gun boys.

There's just something about those aviator sunglasses. . .

The 2nd half of the show was dedicated to heavy metal and hard rock. So the band members came out with new outfits. Bring on the big hair!

Tired gals. We danced ALL NIGHT LONG and worried we might lose our voice the next day from singing so hard.


I hope to go back very soon. I'm so attached to the 80's because when I was a little girl I used to watch some of my aunts spend hours getting ready to go out. I remember thinking that I couldn't wait to be grown up so I could dress all pretty and go out dancing too. :) The memory of their pale eyeshadow, great lash mascara, and pastel pumps will never leave me! (and all of those songs from Saturday night were ALWAYS playing in the background. . . )

7 Loves for Saturday

1. My dream bed. I love canopy beds!

2. These awesome recycled journals made from VHS cases by DustyMoon on Etsy. Sadly, John Hughes passed away this week. He was the writer of one of one of my all time favorite movies of the 80's, "Pretty in Pink".

3. Kagome. Drink a bottle a day and there you have almost your entire daily-required fruits AND veggies. ;) Simplicity makes life wonderful.

4. Cigarettes my friend bought in Turkey. I love their advertising, it's pretty frank, and I wish it were more so here in the states.


5. The fact that a beloved story from my childhood, Alice in Wonderland, has again been adapted into a movie, starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter! I've loved every masterpiece that has come from the mind of Tim Burton!

6. Speaking of Alice in Wonderland, found this recently on Etsy, for sale by hautecountryvintage! So cool!!


7. Been waiting all week long...tonight my girlfriends and I are going out to an 80's dance party! It happens only monthly, so we're way excited! We needed some inspiration so I thought these gals would be the perfect music to listen to while we're getting all made up. ;) THIS will be us tonight, can't wait!! Pictures to follow soon! xo
