90s Movie Style Crush: Gregg Araki’s “Nowhere”

Posted on May 22, 2012 | Leave a comment

Now, I’m very aware that I have a strange and often pretty out there taste in films. While its true that I worship the style and overall vibe of the 90s every waking moment I’m alive, I’m also drawn to campy movies about various subcultures. I think I have seen the movie “Nowhere” about 100 times and each time I love it even more.

I first remember renting it in high school from my local video store yes, video store as in VHS. Unfortunately, the movie never came out on DVD but just recently it has been uploaded on YouTube. A complete all-star 90s cast mixed with an acid trip, “Nowhere” brings all the candy and grunge kids together in one 90 minute visual romp.

here is the link to the Nowhere on YouTube (its very NSFW just so you know)

Menswear Monday: Ethan Embry

Posted on April 16, 2012 | 1 Comment

When I think of the 90s I think of heart throbs, naturally. Many of my early teenage years were spent watching movies, talking on the phone til all hours and generally being boy crazy.

When I first saw Empire Records it was a tie between A.J. and Mark for who was the most adorable. Ethan Embry played Mark, a wide eyed stoner who coined the term “Damn the Man, Save the Empire!”. That’s ultimately what made him my favorite character. After Empire he was one of the leads in “Can’t Hardly Wait” and he was equally as adorable. From his stoner style in Empire to his nerdy-chic getups in Can’t Hardly Wait, he was the original Seth Cohen from “The O.C.”.

Thanks Ethan for being the nerd of the 90s.

SHOPLIFTER!!

Throwback Thursday: Cher Horowitz of Clueless

Posted on March 29, 2012 | 7 Comments

Over the last few weeks I have really been in the mood to watch “Clueless” again. Maybe its just the resurgence in the denim jacket that has really had my mind on the 90s lately. There is never a bad time to watch “Clueless” really.

The star of the 90s really is Cher Horowitz. No matter what anyone says. I loved her matching plaid yellow outfit from the very beginning. Here is a trip down memory lane to really show why every girl wanted to be Cher Horowitz. I mean I still do.

Menswear Monday: Adam Goldberg

Posted on March 26, 2012 | Leave a comment

There is something about Adam Goldberg that I have always loved. From his incredible humor to his geek-chic looks, he’s been one of my crushes for a while. Now you all know him as the guy who ‘just wants to dance” from Dazed and Confused but it wasn’t until the film “2 Days in Paris” that I really noticed him again. Oh, if you havent seen that movie please do. Julie Delpy plays his girlfriend and they spent 2 days with her family in Paris. When I tell you that his tales are an accurate description of an American in Paris I’m not exaggerating.

One of my favorites roles he’s done lately was on “Entourage”. Look it up. This post came about when I saw him at the restaurant me and girlfriends have our weekly dinners at. Yep, he still looks just as good as ever.

He has a pretty awesome photography blog through the Impossible Project and you can see it here

Hope you enjoy!

Supervixen…Shirley Manson

Posted on February 21, 2012 | 5 Comments

Only Shirley Manson could front a band called Garbage. Back in the mid 90s she was one of my style inspirations. Actually, she still is. While she was in an alternative rock band, her style was rooted in grunge. I love her smeared eyeliner, fishnets, and Dr. Martens. Ok…girl crush status.

Here she is at the H&M for Marni event just a few days ago..looking awesome.

Menswear Monday: Matthew Lillard

Posted on January 30, 2012 | 5 Comments

One of my favorite icons in the 90s was Matthew Lillard. He still is as a matter of fact. From the crazy killer in “Scream” to the blue haired punk in “SLC Punk” he always captured my heart. Why can’t boys look like this again?

Menswear Monday: Filled to the Brim

Posted on January 23, 2012 | 1 Comment

I admit. I love guys in hats. Beanies, wide brim hats, cop hats, you name it. Hats really do complete the outfit. Over the past 3 years I’ve been wearing more and more hats, even branching out to a brimmed hat that makes me look like Indiana Jones.

Here is a look at some men rockin some hats that are just as diverse as their personalities.
