I am so seriously in love with this dress from solilor! It reminds me of good old 90s dresses, a little bit above the knee and combined with combat boots,
makes me feel like playing in an Aerosmith video clip from the 90’s. Like “Crazy”, or “Cryin”. Oh, how i loved those video clips! The stories and the clothes Liv Tyler and Alicia wore! Gorgeous.


I would like to invite you all to check my photo in a summer chic contest on facebook, you can vote for me by liking my photo here :

"You're packin' up your stuff,
And talkin' like it's tough
And tryin' to tell me that it's time to go. Yeah!
But, I know you ain't wearin' nothin' underneath that over coat.
And it's all a show. Yeah!


That kinda lovin' makes me wanna pull down the shade. Yeah!
That kinda lovin', yeah, now I'm never, never, never gonna be the same.
I go crazy, crazy baby, I go crazy.
You turn it on, then you're gone."

90's inspired

Lately, i have been thinking how the past years have affected my style. Well in the 80's i was just a baby and my outfits were, ehm, actually my mother's inspiration and personal taste. But in the 90's i was a teenager, and i was wearing all the trends of that time. Some of which i still love, some of which i now hate. So, a few days go, i ran into UNIF's latest lookbook on youtube, which is inspired by one of 90's cult movies : "Poison Ivy". I don't know if you have seen it, if you love it, or if you hate it, it is after all a controversial film. Drew Barrymore, a fashion icon at the time, played the role of a mean seductive-teenager-best friend-killer. It's scenario, kinda reminds me of sleezy soap operas, but the clothes "Ivy" wore, gosh!! Amazing!

So, after a trip, down the memory lane, UNIF's lookbook, got me thinking about the movies and series, that were inspiring my outfits at that time. I have got to admit, that i was rushing from school, to be home just on time to watch "Beverly Hills 90210". And yes, i wanted to know what would happen between Dylan and Brenda, and Brandon and Kelly - Donna and David didn't really excite me that much-, but i was more eager to see what those girls would be wearing on the new episode!



Yes, music can of course inspire fashion and backwards, but movies inspire and create trends on a more frequent basis, i believe.
Between the excitement for "Beverly Hills", i was also fond of "Saved by the bell", yes, i was a teenager suffering in classrooms, and Sunday's favorite "The Prince of Bel air".

Anyway, i feel that i have to mention movies that caught my attention then, and still loving them now :

pulp fiction - dazed and confused - cry baby- reality bites- beetle juice - american beauty - edward scissorhands - pretty woman - thelma & louise - great expectations

 

here are some inspiring photos :























How are you inspired by movies? From time to time, do you embrace any trends from your teenage years?

Tree Of Happiness



Pretty happy today cause i'm going away for the weekend, maybe i'll take a deep dive into the sea where i'm going, if the weather hopefully allows it!

Wearing today : denim shorts, denim vest, tree print top, combat boots. Still loving the grunge 90's look.
