Jelly Tot

Jacket - Sack Sale (thrifted) ♦ Tee - Boohoo ♦ Skort - eBayJellies - River Island  
Headband - Primark ♦ Heart necklace - a gift ♦ Lips - Accessorize, Smitten
Please excuse the grumpy face, this is the precise reason I choose not to look at the camera when taking outfit pictures. My face always betrays me; I can't trust it not to do something strange so I hope you'll overlook that. In the words of Chandler Bing, 'could I be anymore 90's?' The I'm With The Band tee, the denim jacket and of course, the shoe that every self-respecting 90's era child possessed - the jelly sandal. However, the skort injects a touch of uber-modernness, so it's all good.

Years ago, when I was perhaps fourteen, I honestly thought about reviving these faithful shoes as I've always loved how they looked, however I decided against it for three reasons:
1. I didn't have the clothes confidence I have these days (which is basically not giving a fudge and wearing what I like) 
2. Although my size would undoubtedly have stayed the same (been a size three forever) my old silver pair had gone the journey long ago.
3. Nowhere anywhere stocked them.

 But luckily for me, the high street is bringing back these long forgotten beauties and I remember why I loved my jellies so much. This green heeled pair was made for me. My love has been well and truly rekindled. 

So guys, jellies - best left in the 90's or time to bring them back? Hey, if scrunchies can be cool again, there's hope for anything.

Bringing back the Scrunchie!

If you were even to mention the long forgotten scrunchie a year ago, it's safe to say you'd be given some pretty severe looks of disgust. However, with the return of 90's fashion, you can be sure that the old school hair accessory is about to make it's own comeback. 
So, how exactly do you wear it this time around? This is how I'm going to rock mine...

The Pony 



In my opinion, the side ponytail is never gonna look good again. Side braid, yes, but I'm not for the full on Lady Sovereign look. So this time, I'm wearing it high. I'm not normally a fan of ponies, but I'm liking this; it keeps long hair out of the way and looks pretty cute. Instead of keeping it smooth, I'm channelling my '90's tween' and keeping my hair poofy and textured.

The Bun



The bun is everyone's go-to hair style, and it's easy to add a scrunchie to this look. Just create a coiled bun on the top of your head, or if you prefer, to the side and wrap it round. Simple and stylish.

The Minnie Mouse



The Minnie Mouse look, or double bun, is also a fun way to style up your scrunchie. This hairstyle just screams 90's too me; it's too cute for words. Easily done - pretty much the same as the basic bun, but there's two of 'em. Will you guys be trying this out?

Who knows what else will come back? Remember those cute sparkly butterfly clips? I'm pretty sure I still have some lying around, I might find myself digging them out soon enough ...

Remember, fashion fades, but style is eternal.

90's hip hop


My mom's mirror is better than mine.
I found these old leggings hiding in the bottom of my drawer and decided to sew 'em up as they had a few rips in them. I refuse to discriminate against ripped clothes.




Haven't worn my Glam Pie Pastry trainers in quite some time, so I thought I'd crack them out. I'm feeling the 90's hip hop look (think Will Smith, Fresh Prince era) so I'm on the lookout for more tops such as this one.


Check out my G-Dragon style earrings! 
I think they make the look even more retro-y, which is always good :3 Oh, and if you haven't heard of GD, please watch this .. you're welcome ;)
