Fashion Icons

After I put up my last post about Roseanne and the less than fashionable wardrobe on the show, it got me thinking about the television shows that I actually looked to for fashion tips when I was younger. Please remember, I grew up in the 80's and 90's...so looking back now at what was considered hip causes me to laugh (and cringe).

Beverly Hills 90210- They were serious style icons of their time. Over sized blazers with shoulder pads, skin tight mini dresses, acid washed jeans, vests, and bold colors. I loved it all!

Blossom- Who didn't love this show? I always wanted Blossom's (or even Six's) wardrobe. What I would have done to trade my closet with them. Heck, I would have even been happy with their hat collection!

Clarissa Explains It All- Clarissa Darling definitely had the most eclectic, funky, crazy wardrobe on Nickelodeon.

Saved By The Bell- I always loved the way Jessie, Kelly, and Lisa dressed...terrible high waisted jeans and all. And didn't they have the BEST HAIR OF THEIR TIME?

My So-Called Life- Angela Chase and Rayanne Graff brought grunge to a whole new level. One could never have too much flannel...right?

Which shows/characters did you look to for fashion inspiration when you were growing up?

Fashion Inspiration---Rachel Zoe

So I have a guilty little secret...I'm obsessed with The Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo. Does anyone else watch this show? I love catching up with repeats on the weekends. From Rachel's catch phrases, to Taylor's attitude, to Brad's short shorts...I just love every second of it!
I thought it would be fun to put together a fashion inspiration of items that are similar to those that Rachel herself would wear.

What do you think of Rachel's style? Does she often where a key piece that you just love?

Fashion Inspiration---Annie Hall

I thought it would be fun to do another Fashion Inspiration post. Today I wanted to look back to a style icon from one of my favorite movies, Annie Hall. This character really played a role in style as we know it today...bringing the menswear look front and center. I put together some great key pieces that you should really have when trying to make this style work for you.

Fashion Inspiration---Frances "Baby" Houseman

With absolutely nothing to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon I found myself watching the last half of Dirty Dancing on television. I swear I have seen that movie about 29075928375 times, can repeat every line, and can do all the dance moves (well at least I like to pretend I can!). While watching the movie I really took notice to Baby's fashion. She wears a ton of white, lots of denim, and adorable feminine dresses. Here I put together a bunch of looks that can totally pass off as being inspired by Baby herself.
