5x5 Clothing: 80s Diva Whitney Houston!

5x5 would like to extend a farewell to the great 80s Diva, Whitney Houston. 


We all know her for her big big hair, wide shouldered suits, glittering dresses and full piece jump suits, in all glorious shades of neon.


So let's take a look at some of her best moments:


First, (pictured above) her red dress she wore at the 1985 Grammys.  Off the shoulder balloon sleeves, dropped waist and tiered skirt. Damn. All hallmarks of 80s dress design. 







Then, Whitney in her "I wanna dance with somebody' video from '87: Fabulous permed hair, full eyebrows, and gorgeous multi-coloured eyeshadows ranging from coral to blue. Yes!








Or how about Whitney at the American Music Awards from '86: a giant blue bow offsetting an asymmetric shoulder, with flowing beaded jewels.   Just can't say no to that. 






Ok, how about Whitney as just an average gal: oversized printed pull-over, tight denim jeans and calf-height boots. Dig it! Oh don't forget your bulky headband. 




In homage to Whitney, let's give the divine gal some 5x5 love. 




ps. god damn we need some more 'women of colour' on our blog!!

Romance is in the air, Happy Valentine's day!

Hearts are in the air!

With Valentine's day just around the corner, it's time to consume and buy some over priced candies and flowers!  Me personally, I'm a lil jaded when it comes to Valentine's Day.  I think you should show romance to your lover daily.  Do special things that show you care about them every now and again.  The day can also make you a lil depressed if your lover forgot, or got you something you hate. (like white chocolate when you love dark)  Also if you currently don't have a lover, or you just broke up;  last thing you want is cupid running around with lovey 

How cute is this! 
dovey who the fuck cares bull shit. 


Did I say I was a lil jaded... 5555 yup! 


But my personal views aside, I do love the idea of the cuteness of the day.


With cute lil Valentines you can pass out, leaving a lil note to someone you have your eye on.  The overly dramatic balloons in restaurants, it's like New Years in February, you're guaranteed to get  laid!   Oh yeah, I said it!!

Now for some super cute tips, to help have fun on the day and night!!  


Dress in a super hot simple red dress and make a heart cut out for your love.  How special would that make them feel?!?! It's like a page right outta grade school, and you picked them... awwwww 


 If dresses aren't your thang, Try rocking some super sexy heels for the night!  Pair it with your super skinny dark denim pants and a simple tank top & cardigan will be sure to please.  Try pairing it with ruby red lips! Meow you're on fire now!!  Always remember the romance goes both ways, and your lover shouldn't be forgotten.  Mix it up this year, send him the flowers at work! (make sure the roses are pink).


Going on a date, why not bring him some chocolates or a heart shaped balloon?  Going on a first date, cinnamon hearts are simple and not too suggestive (that your crazy, and scare the guy off)  cause come on, your first date is Valentine's Day!  Have fun and think outside the box!


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Won't you be our Valentine?!
