Setting the Mood: Love and Hip Hop

By Kirsten|November 18th, 2013|Setting the Mood|

While the 90’s grunge look has its modern day resurgence, let us not forget that during that very same time, there was another musically inspired fashion movement happening simultaneously. On the other end of the spectrum of looking halfway homeless and heroin chic, hip hop and R&B stars were living the luxurious life in leathers, furs, and overall excess. Always designer driven, street style is still just as in love with labels today as it was twenty some odd years ago. For added interest this go round, grunge and hip hop glamour can be cleverly combined to create the ultimate 90’s throwback.

Why Did You Wear That: Mad for Plaid

By Kirsten|February 1st, 2012|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

They say what goes around comes around and just like the 80’s, the 90’s are now making a comeback. Whether you’re a product of the 90’s or you just remember the decade fondly, you are probably relieved to be able to revel in a little bit of nostalgia not involving sweatbands and permed hair. A time when grunge music took center stage, so did many of the fashion trends that went along with it. Flannel shirts and shaggy hair were par for the course and while I do not condone actual “grunge,” I love the undone edgy look. I snatched this particular shirt from my mom’s house, so it very well may be from the 90’s, but it probably won’t be too hard to find one of your own.
