Fashion Slideshow: The ‘90s Are Back!

UrbanOutfitters.com

In case the new 90210 and Whitney Houston’s song “Like I Never Left” didn’t already clue you in, we have a shocker—the ‘90s are BACK. Now that the ‘80s are over for the second time around, it’s time for the 1990’s to finally have a resurgence. I, for one, am pleased. The ‘90s were my decade and the comeback of comfy grunge style makes me very very very happy. After the jump, 10 modernized takes on ‘90s style. There will be flannel.

Fashion Slideshow: Dress Like Gossip Girl’s Rich, Preppy Snots!

J Crew blazer

Did you tune into Gossip Girl each week for an hour-long fashion fix? Did you ever miss a key plot point because you were daydreaming about Blair Waldorf’s latest Balenciaga handbag? Well…so were the rest of the 2.7 million viewers. Gossip Girl is more than a show about Manhattan’s elite private schools; it’s a cultural phenomenon that has had a great impact on retail trends, making preppy staples like piped blazers and argyle fashionable again. And although the television season has ended (you can watch repeats on The CW Monday nights), we’re sure its ritzy, collegiate style will be showing up in department stores nationwide when the “Back to School” season begins. Now if only there was a definitive answer to: “How old is too old to wear knee-socks and a short pleated skirt?”

Slideshow: Musical Mayem At The Glastonbury Festival

Amy Winehouse

Ahh, Glastonbury, the ultimate U.K. musical festival where regular folk hobnob with Kate Moss and risk getting punched in the face by Amy Winehouse. How we wish we could have gone and hung out this past weekend, checking out performances by everyone from Duffy to Jay-Z. Unforch, we will have to settle for the next best thing…the slideshow after the jump. Tally-ho!

Fashion Slideshow: Bridesmaids Dresses You CAN Wear Again!

Plenty dress

Yesterday, we posted a debate about whether it sucks or rules to be a bridesmaid. A common complaint is the cost of the dress, which everyone seemed to swear could never be worn again, despite what the bride may think. HA! I hear your skepticism and I challenge it! After the jump, 10 bridesmaid dresses I know you could wear again. So brides, if you want your bridesmaids to really love you, pay attention.

Fashion Slideshow: 10 Maxi Dresses With Sex Appeal

Tibi dress

Just because a dress is long and covers your stems, doesn’t mean it can’t be sexy – after all, leaving something to the imagination can be awfully alluring. Maxi (or long) dresses are all the rage for summer – while the airy skirt still keeps you cool, there’s the added protection from UV rays as a bonus, if you’re worried about that kind of thing. Catherine is – she just spent the weekend at the beach and came home with a nasty, splotchy, and painful burn all over the tops of her shins, so she’ll be living in dresses like these for the rest of the summer.

Slideshow: Mandy Moore Can Get Under Our Umbrella

I have a total thing for Mandy Moore that is not very easily explained. She’s no superstar in any department, though I think she’s a decent actress and singer (frankly, I loved her album of cover songs). But something about her seems nice and smart and she’s definitely stylish, which is why we’ve pulled together a slideshow of some of her hottest looks. BUT while I was doing research, I came across this video, of her covering Rihanna’s “Umbrella”. She does it in a very moody way. I like it. And normally I think people should keep their grubby paws off RiRi. Anyway, slideshow after the jump…

Fashion Slideshow: Flip-Flop Madness

Banana Republic flip-flops

You might think summer starts when the temperature finally reaches 80 degrees Fahrenheit, your roof deck opens up, and the beaches start charging admission, but you’re wrong. Summer doesn’t actually begin until you put on a fresh pair of flip-flops. Whether they’re the cheap plastic ones from a drug store or a work-appropriate leather pair, or a fancy bejeweled pair, flip-flops are the shoes of the season. Here are 10 that will let your feet take in the fresh air and sun – just don’t forget to paint your toes. We like a bright, punchy coral color like Coral Reef by Essie.

Slideshow: 2008 CFDA Awards

Ashley Olsen

The CFDA Awards are one of those events where only cool, connected people get invited to celebrate designers who make clothes those of us who aren’t invited can’t afford. Sounds like fun! Last night’s party brought out the big guns—Maggie Gyllenhaal, the two Evas, and the ever present Posh Spice. Tons of pics, after the jump…

Fashion Slideshow: Protect Your Peepers With Some Sweet Shades

Rayban wayferers in aqua

Catherine just bought some awesome sunglasses that she did not include in this slideshow because she didn’t want the entire universe running out and buying them—but we did include our other 10 favorites. I am personally partial to big shades that make me look like an alien, while Catherine goes for something a little edgier. But we both agree that the aqua Ray-Ban Wayfarers are friggin’ hot sauce.

Fashion Slideshow: Target’s Very Own GO Line

Target’s GO International lines by the likes of Luella Bartley, Erin Fetherston, Jovovich-Hawk, etc. sold out before I could get my hands on anything good. I’m going to cross my fingers that that doesn’t happen when this line arrives in mid-April. Unlike the other GO incarnations, this one was created by designers at Target rather than an outside collaborator. But don’t worry, label whores, Target’s not ditching big names. The GO lines designed in-house will be sold in between the designer collections.
