Remembering the 80's

I love the 80's, it was a fun decade, at least of course for people like me who have experienced it. I love the music,
the tv shows,

the fashion (even if at times remembering the shoulder pads make me uneasy, the trench coat, acid wash jeans, wayfarer sunglasses, neon socks, oversized shirts, and espadrilles were cool then)

the movies,

the wedding,



and yes even the hair of the 80's has its moments, remember MacGyver and Andrei Agassi sporting a mullet.


You may ask why the sudden 80's thing, well, my fave band during the decade was Duran Duran, and with their 13th Studio Album that just came out which is 'All you Need is Now',



fond memories came rushing back. John Taylor was my fave, he was just so easy on the eyes back then, a real eye-candy. And you bet I'd buy any magazine that has them or even just him on the cover and pages. Lots of my allowance was spent on buying their albums and posters too. Oh how time flies... do you have any 80's favorite? A band, movie, tv show, fashion or just a fond memory of the decade.

Here are some vids of John Taylor,







And since this is a design blog I'll share with you pics of John Taylor and his wife Gela Nash-Taylor's (cofounder of the multimillion-dollar Juicy Couture company) Wraxall Manor in Wiltshire, England which was featured in Vogue.

The Retreat - Nature Tripping


I'm on a virtual nature tripping mood today, somewhere quiet, somewhere I am going to be so close to nature that I could be able to hear the chirping of the birds, and a dive on the waters would just be a few footsteps away. And of course, the accommodation should be nice, serene, and if possible dreamy. Oh, feel free to join me ♥

Here is The Retreat, located in Northern Selous, Tanzania in Africa. It is a twelve-suite exquisite hideaway that offers complete seclusion in the heart of remote bush lands. Elephants, lions, black rhinos, leopards, wild dogs, giraffes, hippos and crocodiles and more than 400 different birds can be seen among many other wildlife.

Glam is the word


I've just spent a couple of hours browsing glamorous rooms and I've enjoyed it a lot. Glamorous rooms may be hard to achieve and duplicate in our own homes but a girl can dream and bask in the beauty of other people's glamorous rooms. Here are just some of the gorgeous rooms I've found from the net...and GLAM is the word that best describe them. Enjoy!
