And, as promised in this post, I have something very special for you lovely readers - I am offering a retro bum bag as a prize for my first ever reader giveaway, courtesy of Truffle Shuffle!
I am so excited about this! A giveaway is something I have wanted to do for a very long time; I can not stress enough how much I appreciate your views, comments and follows - I love blogging and it means the world to me that there are people out there who enjoy reading and following - and so I am ecstatic to finally give something back!
You have the chance to win a *Fydelity Retro Boombox Bum bag in purple, and the best part is, they have real working speakers! Simply plug in your MP3 player or iPod (after installing three AAA batteries) and you can listen to your favourite songs wherever you are; in the park, at the beach, at the gym, walking down the street - perfect for brightening this (so far, very dull) summer!
For an authentic 80s style, wear statement leggings - an aztec or animal print perhaps - an oversized t-shirt, high-tops (which are going to be BIG this autumn/winter!) and a pair of sunglasses - how perfect for festivals?!
Of, you can wear it like I wear mine, as a handy bag for jogging! Running whilst carrying house keys, my phone and a water bottle was very annoying, and so these bum bags were a life saver! I can run without worrying about dropping my beloved phone or losing my keys with only my water bottle handy - which is a necessity anyway!

ReplyDeleteI love everything about the 80s! I was born in 83, so most of my greatest childhood memories are from that era! Although, I have grown up in a different country, we still listened to all the Queen, Journey, Blondie..etc hits too. And about bum bags... well, it never really got out of fashion in Hungary :D although, i was mostly wearing mine for riding my bike or hiking, coz it's a really handy accessory. And this one here is just supercool :P Even if i don't win it, i will try to get one from the shop!

In the 80s a kid was allowed to be a kid with cartoons like My Little Pony, Moon Dreamers, Care Bears, Jem, Thunder Cats, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (the proper 1s) etc... TV Shoes like Saved By the Bell, the Wonder Years and don't get me started on movies, The Labyrinth, Big, The Princess Bride. We were allowed to dream and play, act our age and not grow up too soon! Thank goodness for dvds or the kids today would be missing out on all this xo

ReplyDeleteIt is Rainbow, with Zippy, Bungle, George and Jeffrey.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be the t.v. programmes, Dangermouse, and Worzel Gummidge my two favourite ones when growing up x
ReplyDeleteBack to the Future. I didn't actually see it until the 90s (I was born in 1987) but I just think it's an absolutely perfect film - beautifully written, wonderfully acted, funny and touching. To this day I still hope I'll go back in time whenever I'm in a car going at 88 miles per hour...
ReplyDeleteThe tv programmes Hitman AND Her was my favourite, getting up in the middle of the night to watch it was like i was there!!! felt great :-).
ReplyDeleteSome great films in the eighties - adventure and excitement.
ReplyDeleteClearly transformers! Still a Top cartoon, and even more awesome films, and the advert for the action figures was amazing! Haha. We all know we want a bumblebee :) (lauraholland85@hotmail.co.uk)
ReplyDeleteJohn Hughes flicks, the lost boys, David Bowie and the fashion :)
ReplyDelete@jane_the_enigma I wasn't born then but my soul was. I've got to say films. But nothing beats the Labyrith!

In the 80's, we got our first VCR, so films on demand.
ReplyDeleteChannel 4 first aired - Countdown!
And being born in 1970, I could drink the in the 80's.
@BizzoDoes
I'm ashamed to admit it but I loved batwing jumpers and peplums. But then again, peplums are having a bit of renaissance, so why not the batwing? And bumbags have ALWAYS been a good idea, especially when holidaying abroad - keeps all your flight documents safe and accessible.
ReplyDeletehas to be mannequin !!
ReplyDeleteMe and my 3 brothers were all born in the 80s and they are the best thing about it for me. But a close second is M.A.S.K and Transformers....
