Is it that we live in difficult times and we need a little romance in our everyday lives? Is it that Christmas is approaching and we need to go back in time and feel like children? Is it that vintage is back in fashion in all its forms? Whatever it is ... we certainly love watching romantic comedies from past decades over and over again, because they inspire us, lift our spirits and remind us of innocent times that we have forgotten.
Jenny Blond once again enters the "time capsule" and remembers her 5 favorite vintage comedies and recommends them to you.
Pretty in Pink (1986)
The beloved redheaded star of 80's romantic movies, Molly Ringwald plays an obscure high school student who falls in love with the "god" of the school (and all the girls of that era), Andrew McCarthy. In addition to him, however, she is also besieged by her longtime best friend, who is always by her side. A "pink" world, full of fluffy hair, cotton pads, new wave music and love!
Say Anything (1989)
The iconic scene of the protagonist, John Cusack, with the radio on the tuning fork outside his beloved's house, made many young girls of the time dream of singing love songs on the radio. The main meaning of the film, however, is different: When you want someone very much, you move heaven and earth to make them yours. And you succeed! (In real life, of course, not always ....)
Saint Elmo's Fire (1985)
Or, in other words, the ... Baraki di San Elmo! The story of a group of boys and girls and how their daily lives and behavior change as they move from college to adulthood. The only thing that remains constant is their friendship ... and the "hangout" they have loved all these years.
Clueless (1995)
A well-known American story ...with the spoiled rich girl who falls in love for real. But how much more charming is it to see it in a '95 production? Especially when it stars Alicia Silverstone and the doll Paul Radd. In the +++ the WONDERFUL outfits of the era.
Singles ( 199 2)
A more melancholic mood than the previous films. Makes sense, considering it's set in Seattle, in the early 90s and during the rise of grunge music. Unique soundtracks, super-perfect outfits that you'll definitely envy, and a housing complex just for... singles.
By observing the style of the protagonists of the above films, you will be inspired and probably want to copy their outfits. You can take a look at the unique vintage pieces that Jenny Blond updates every week and you will definitely find what you are looking for!
