Zig-a Zig-ah [An Homage to the Spice Girls]

 I'm a born and bred 90's kid which means I was OBSESSED with the Spice Girls! I collected the Spice Girls lollipops and the stickers (is it just nostalgia, or were those the best lollipops ever?). I used to know all of the dances. I watched Spice World over and over (time to bust out ye olde VHS again!). 

I loved the Spice Girls' style. There was my personal fave Scary Spice, with her amazing conical/curly hair and her love affair with animal prints. Ginger's iconic flag dress. Baby's slip dress and platform shoes. Sporty's track pants and Posh's LBD. In honor of their [amazing] performance at the closing ceremony of the olympics, I've presented to you a few things inspired by my childhood icons.

Were you as big a fan of the Spice Girls as I was? Who was your favorite?

P.S. Please share this post if you liked it!

Fighting Evil by Moonlight

Welcome to Part One of my Sailor Series! What better way to start this series off than with my favorite childhood cartoon, Sailor Moon?

When I was a kid, my sister and I were obsessed with Sailor Moon. We rushed home every day after school to watch the Sailor Scouts fight evil with Tuxedo Mask. We knew the whole theme song word-for-word (I'm not ashamed to say that I still know the theme song) and we loved Sailor Moon's hair and outfits. When I was a ten year old aspiring artist and fashion designer, the first thing I tried to draw was Sailor Moon. Needless to say, I had no talent and my brief sketching career ended there. Still though, I do love Sailor Moon's outfits and her meatball head. Rather than regale you with a poor rendering of Sailor Moon, I'll present you with a summery outfit inspired by her.

And yes, I'd wear this in real life.

So tell me, guys, what were your favorite tv shows or characters growing up?

I've been in a style rut. And it's the kind of rut we all get into and probably never notice. 

I love love LOVE class and sophistication when it comes to clothes and outfits.

 I always usually churn out cute outfits that I have fun with, but fashion-wise, this is no longer a challenge for me. And life's all about challenges, right?

Soooo I decided to do something that was the opposite of my usual look and go for more of a grunge-y kind of thing. Success?

I immediately tripped over rocks after this picture. Haha :)

Hoping I don't fall but still trying to look cool!

So I challenge you. Take pictures of the opposite of your usual look. Put pictures or links on my facebook wall and I'll post them here in a few days :)
