80’s Brights are here to stay for this fall…
2008 July 20
Fall 2002 Couture at Givenchy and Jean Paul Gaultier was alight with vivid 80’s neon brights, day-glo lips and nails, and matching opaque tights and heels. Color has been front page for months and it is NOT going away! Get your dose of color from Aromaleigh with pigments from the Rocks! Sonic Eyes collection…

Oh Miss K, I am so very guilty for never leaving a comment here in your blog. I read it religiously…HONESTLY! I am quite sure there are several of us that just don’t take the time to comment.
So…here’s my comment:
YIKES! to the hosiery in photo #4. I would wear the heels but never that type hose with a bare heel shoe!
JMHO

Mmm, I love all the colours. I really like the orange lipstick (even though probably no one else will) too! I think I have all the Rocks! shades you posted there Kristen
(I have samples at least…) Thanks 
Gorgeous colors. I need to buy more samples.
Hey, Abby – I’m a huge fan of an orange lippie! I love the opacity and white base of these here, but in real life a translucent base (even in a full coverage orange) is easier to wear. When I head to LA in August I’m definitely going to be on the lookout for both a few bright opaque lippies and perhaps a couple pairs of opaque bright hose, too.
Thanks for posting, K!
I think the bright colors are the only part of 80’s fashion that I still like
I’m loving all the oranges, corals, and greens here!
I’d definitely wear the magenta color… maybe the bright green as an accent somewhere. I definitely love looking at the bright colors, they are just so aesthetically pleasing and cheery to me. I’d love to throw in a few fun bright accessories for fall. I love the bright orange lips and nails on the models, but Bridget’s got the right idea for real-wear… translucent tangerine gloss is the way to go!
Hope you all have as much fun looking at these fashion slides as I do. Whenever a new show comes out, I can’t wait to see the makeup and detail shots. They are such an inspiration to me because fashion really gets me creatively revved up to formulate new stuff…
I like the pink and black outfit, at least the back of it
. Sorry, I will not be able to do the pantyhose thing. I haven’t worn those in years!
Definitely can do the bright eye-makeup. Yay! the 80’s rule!
I wear colored tights – usually striped or other pattern – under my long skirts all winter long. Keeps me warm, and gives me a little color, even though I’m the only one who sees it!
LOVE the vivid green dress in the last picture. Such an incredible color!
Man, oh, man does this bring back memories! Love it
And I am SO trying agent orange or sunday girl on my lips now!
Thank god all the pretty colors aren’t going away this fall. I love love love colored tights! I never stopped loving them! I hope the flowered, plaid, striped, paisley, and other pattern hosiery is on the horizon too…
Yay, I received PrettyInPink and PersonalityCrisis as free samples, and I have Funkytown, Endlesssea and Estranged. I’m likin’ these brights!
