70s Bedroom Decor!


Sin título #254


Hi Dolls! You know how much I love " The Carrie Diaries" so I decided to bring the 70s-80s spirit to our rooms with some cute decoration ideas! The idea behind this post is the same that Eric Daman ( Costume designer of The Carrie Diaries and Gossip Girl) had bringing those decades to our years: mix and update.

  1. Wall quotes! Those years, to were the years of individualism and showing who you really are with as many colors as possible, so I though that a quote with some artistic font, would be absolutely perfect! Don't you think so? 
  2. A little bit of glitter won't hurt , right? I thought of taking the glitter off Carrie dresses and turn it into superglam pillows. TIP: Don't choose crazy colours go for dark ones and silver to bring the sparkliest trend to our days.
  3. Pop Art + Fashion: Look for old school Vogue pictures, print and frame. They have real art pieces in their pages!
  4. Decor with what you have! I am sure you own something vintage looking like a "Diana" camera or some pink old books, put those in your night table to have that Audrey Hepburn wake up moments! 
  5. Calling all neon shoes! Ask your mom or your aunt for their  80s pointy yet neon shoes or go and buy a super cheap pair, all we want is to decor! ( and maybe wear them friday nights)
  6. Retro Bag! I am sure you own a satchel or a bag with a bold design that should in a bright little table ( Ikea kids section!)

The clue to dress like Carrie is to play with fashion, colors and prints and think outside the box. An example of thinking outside the box, is the first outfit that combines neon, prints and a super Carrie iphone case, because the 70s-80s are a trend to mix with not to live at. Another way to incorporate this trend is with pop art items to add to your bedroom ( I will do a post about that soon!)

I love taking this trend and mix it with an office pencil skirt that is so serious and totally opposite to the wild colors that are so Carrie.

If there is something that Carrie and I have in common is our love for unique yet different pieces, like this earrings. For me what it is key in being different is trying wild pieces and wear them in your very own style.

I wanted to create an every day  outfit and to be honest I had a blast with this one, it has the sparkles and the neon converse, and a simple cotton tie that looks super sporty.

Last but not least Carrie knows how to be sweet as well. I really love the sunnies and how this rubber bangles blend together, but she likes to slow down fancy dresses with denim jackets as well and that is exactly what this dress was calling for...!
