CC was inspired by this Bon Bon Rose post to wax nostalgic about the 90s... Some of CC’s experiences are personal, others universal... [First photo, 1991 Versace ad]. Here are CC’s 9 90’s picks:
CC misses:
1. Step aerobics... Whatever happened to this exercise craze? Italian Vogue, June 2006.
2. Tanning, oblivious to the consequences. French Vogue, August 2005.
3. “It” bags. V, March 2008.
4. Supermodels. Italian Vogue, September 1994.
5. Touring Europe on $30 a day while in college. This photo courtesy Fellow Fashionista Fashionadaption.
6. Partying til the wee hours and then crashing in full makeup. Italian Vogue editorial by Craig McDean.
7. Lifeguarding. Russian Vogue, June 2006.
8. Looking in the mirror and not seeing a single line or wrinkle! Elle, July 2005.
9. Shiny minis and fuzzy shrunken sweaters a la Donna Martin. Versace ad campaign, Spring 1994.

Even though, I was a little girl in the 1990s, I do remember watching supermodels on Style Files! I remember when all fashion magazines would have a supermodel on the cover each month! The 90s was a wonderful time for fashion!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I miss so much about it! It was amazing! Beautiful spread, you did a fantastic job with this post. So true about the tanning!!

ha step aerobics! wonderful post CC! have a beautiful weekend, darling! xo
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post!!!!!!!!!! Brings back so many memories... I'd also add blue eyeshadows. :) You know it was the time of the original BH90210 and everyone was wearing blue eyeshadows. :))) And those tiny mini sweaters, too. I used to knit mine myself.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, the supermodels...
Oh, I really miss 90's...
Thanks so much for this post, darling!

Thanks for the shoutout, love! I'm sure you're not surprised I love these, particularly that last Versace one. It just screams 90s!
ReplyDeleteyou are right about tanning dear!! thanks for the post .. .i would like to post this in my blog!
ReplyDeleteLeg warmers. I truly miss leg warmers. My sister bought me a pair for Christmas a couple years back. Maybe if I wore them over skinny jeans with ballerina flats I could revive this long-forgotten style! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...crashing in bed with full make up. That's my life story NOW. Haha.
ReplyDeleteYou picked some great ones. I miss supermodels...nowadays magazine covers are just splashed with celebrities. :(
I miss cheesy sitcoms from the '90s. I'm tired of reality television!
Thanks for the shout out! And oh the days where I baked in the sun and had yet to see the results of it. Sigh.
ReplyDeletethe socks and the shoes.. lol.. soloo cute... amazing job... love the 90s..
ReplyDeleteOh the shrunken sweaters, I had a few of those! What I miss most about the 90's...being able to eat a Big Mac and still keeping a flat stomach :)
ReplyDeletewell fahsionwise not much since i was born in the 90's
ReplyDeletebut the cartoons I do miss, cartoons now a days
are so bad. language, theme, and its so digital
unlike back then
I love these throw-backs...where did you find them? I love the Versace adds. Perfect finds Carrie!
ReplyDeleteX♥X♥

ReplyDeleteBon week-end!

ReplyDeleteMuah
Marian.
i love this post! i miss all the classic tv shows, and those days when people cared about how they looked (like in the fifties when everyone dressed up to go to the grocery store) i was born in 1993, but i miss people that had a focus.
ReplyDeletei love the morning after photo. so gorgeous!
the 90s were fun. I was a kept woman during that time. SAHM.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics!!!!! Love all their outfits & the girls r beautiful!! Fantastic post as always!!

Oh I loved the 90s! I also love that picture with vibrant colored handbags! I had some hot pink ones in my day too :) XOXO
ReplyDeleteAwwe, I've been watching Beverly Hills 90210 lately, and thought about how gutsy Donna Martin was for her extremelyyy cropped sweaters.
ReplyDeleteI miss supermodels too. Now it's mostly celebrities on magazine covers.
And so true about tanning! = / While I love being tan, and laying out by the pool, in the back of my head that icky word "cancer" pops up, ruining it a bit.
Enjoy your weekend, darling CC!
oh my gosh, i have similar versace jeans from back in the days. : )
ReplyDeleteps thanks for the lovely b-day wish.
thanks! :) that means a lot since you're blog rocks!
ReplyDeletexoxo Mo
oh boy... I miss it too
ReplyDeleteGreat 90s post. I was born in August of 1989, so I consider myself more of a product of the 90s than of the 80s.
ReplyDeleteCute! I love #5 and I still do "Tanning, oblivious to the consequences" except I'm not oblivious...just taking my chances lol. Luckily we don't get much sun up here and I don't use beds!
ReplyDeleteI was born in 81 so I was a child of the 80's and a teenager of the 90's - deadly combo!
i am a 80s/90's girl through and through.
ReplyDeleteNOT only was i born in the 80s but i am obsessed with everything from the era.
esp. movies + music.
and can you ever deny a bold shoulder?
have a fabulous weekend cc.
x
Those 90's supermodels were sooo gorgeous. I don't think the models now can compare. As a teen, I thought Cindy C was the bomb! Haha. Cool photos!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I used to go to step aerobics and I actually owned a step aerobic and the video to workout in my living room!!!
step aerobics, yes!! Have a great 4th of July weekend!
ReplyDeleteI <3 90's!! So happy the trend is back!!
ReplyDeletebox-of-style
I miss Clueless, Counting Crows, Smashing Pumpkins, and REM.
ReplyDeleteJ'adore 90's and I totally love the first photo!

Five Star! Subject and Pix!
ReplyDeleteCC = A+++++
;)
Waah!I miss the models.
ReplyDeleteLOL...I was just at the gym and my trainer was yelling for me to try step aerobics...and I didn't know people still did it. The 90s was a great decade, great fashion and style. I desprately miss the era supermodels ruled the universe! Who would have thought that some are still around AND relevant today!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The 90s were such fun.
ReplyDeleteI liked the grunge style of the 90's. Lol, I remember step aerobics...you're right...Where did it go???
ReplyDeletei love these photos especially the versace ads. thanks for bringing them back.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that! I don't remember the early 90's but the fashion was just so fun! Not exactly the most fashionable, but definitely fun :)
ReplyDeleteI miss my parents paying for my clothes! haha
ReplyDeleteSo awesome. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember much of the nineties since I was a little kid. I do remember the Spice Girls though,they were my favorite.
ReplyDeleteFABulous Blast from the past CC!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes can't believe how Versace had long gone & another tragic death too...We must continue to celebrate his fashion... ~XO*
I miss the 90s...
ReplyDeleteI miss being young and thin enough (as I was in the 90s) to not only fit but to look good in the shiny minis and fluffy sweaters.
ReplyDeleteI don't miss step aerobics...I tried it only once and that was too much.
step arobics is still big where I live, or perhaps we're just late on the uptake. I've actually been going to a few classes, and you get absolutely BUGGERED by the end of it! haha x
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I love all the wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteHe he, I just watched a movie made in the late 90's and then I hopped online and saw your post - great timing.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I really don't miss the 90's styles. Even though some of them are coming back in again. Oh brother. Great post darling and Happy 4th!
Cool pics! I can't really pick out that much, since I was so little... Maybe I'll try later. Living in the States is one of them!

In fact, i never saw the 90's fashion scene in real time.
ReplyDeleteSo, now i just see the past.
Fun to see supermodels were fresh and walked cool on videos and pics including this post.
You have good personal fashion memories in 90's, don't you?
Past is past's.
Present is present's.
Better to think like this,,,i feel.
But sometimes It is comfortable to remember the sweet past memories;)
I miss supermodels. I miss having absolutely no responsibility (that I knew of at the time!). I miss the little ol' me! My have I grown up!
ReplyDeleteMy dear nineties, my dear youth !!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun because I really miss EIGHTIES altough I was born in '92 !!
But gym.... and tacky taste... and grunge... even game-boys, tamagochis and so on....
