Valley Girl is a 1983 cult classic starring Deborah Foreman and Nicolas Cage. Deborah plays Julie, a total valley girl who likes shopping and has a popular boyfriend...until she meets New Wave guy Randy (Nic Cage) at a party. It's love at first sight, and they lead some sort of Romeo and Juliet existence where apparently Valley people and Hollywood people just can't mix. However, it ends up a whole lot better for them in the end. This movie is a prime example of early 80's preppy fashion. There's pastels and popped colors everywhere. Also, this movie has a great New Wave soundtrack. Plus, there's all kinds of great Valley speak in it. I totally recommend it!

| Is this a semi-popped collar? Also, I never knew that the protocol was to wear it outside of the polo. |
 |
| As if the star-crossed lovers theme couldn't be any more obvious |
 |
| Purple and pink? Yes please |
 |
| My favorite sunglasses again! |
 |
| How funny is this? A polo and boatshoes lying on the ground. Obviously a preppy guy is having sex! |
