You're a virgin who can't drive

As Clueless is undeniably one of the greatest movies of all time and as it was made in the single greatest year of all time and the 90's was just generally a fantastic era, I thought I'd write a post about how fantastic the costume designers of Clueless or rather, the designers of the 90s were.

Every so often, popular culture goes through an 'everything old is new again' phase and at the moment, it would appear that the 90's is the new cool thing. I'm beyond thrilled about this because the 90's is seriously such an under appreciated era and if Clueless isn't proof enough of that, then need I mention the wonders of Space Jam, Destiny's Child and the Spice Girls? Funnily all of my examples showed great evidence of the 90's being rad.

But 90's fashion is back (well in my eyes at least) and I'm just going to mention things that are beyond cool. Loose spaghetti strap singlets - coupled with a strapless bra, these singlets are just brilliant. I've stolen about 3 from my mum, when she bought them they were for pyjamas but the silk fabric is just wonderful and I can't even describe how much I love this style. Cropped spaghetti strap singlets are equally as cool and ever so 90's. 

Cher and Dionne also totally rocked the top button up style before it was even in, and own the effortlessly chic school look with cute stationary, fabulous hair accessories and just a general air of coolness about them, really it's no wonder they were the coolest at their school. Dionne is seriously one of the most gorgeous people I've seen in my whole life and her experimentation with clothes is just beautiful. She kind of reminds me of my friend only with a bit more attitude. 

But Clueless weren't alone with their fantastic costume department, such TV shows as Lizzie McGuire, Friends and even The Fresh Prince of Bel Air totally nails the 90's hiphop look. This begs the question, why wasn't I born 10 years earlier so that I could experience the 90's as a teenager. I'm going to pass the blame onto my parents because I seriously believe that I would've been the Cher Horowitz of my school but now that's just a failed dream. 

Another 90's trend I'm diggin' (also note the 90s lingo I'm using) is 90's grunge! Now, despite the fact that many of the grungey youth of the 90's resembles hobos, the flanno was totally a statement. Similarly, overalls which not only are beyond comfortable but they are cute and make you look like an artist. Printed high waisted shorts were also so fabulous back then and as I recently bought a pair for a solid $8.00, I can safely say that I would've fitted in in the 90s.  

Essentially the 90's were full of fashion hits and misses but as I've got a 90's haircut I feel a rejuvenated passion for the era, a passion that my four year old self didn't grow to have, regretfully so. 

But whatever, I'm outie.

Make up

Now, I don't wear makeup all that often because mostly I'm just horrendously lazy and don't really know what to do when it comes to manifesting something fabulous out of eyeliner and lipstick. But in saying this I absolutely adore the idea of makeup worn in a sophisticated way. I don't necessarily condone wearing layers and layers of thick foundation but a statement lip or eye can seriously go along way in flattering the already lovely facial features.

And as Summer is looming the bright tropical colours are being brought out too. Particularly vibrant pinks, oranges and reds but the more subdued pastally tones are also working wonders on the Spring racing scene and in creating a more naturalistic makeup style, I firmly believe it makes people feel more comfortable as there's no worry of getting lipstick on your teeth or overdoing the eyeliner. And when people feel comfortable they radiate confidence, making them look even lovelier.

Another point I'd like to make is about eyebrows. Now, when you think about it eyebrows are seriously so strange yet they're such a key part of one's face. I honestly think that someone's eyebrows can make or break someone's appearance, which sounds awful but when someone has to draw on their eyebrows I think I have the right to slyly judge them. That's not where I'm headed with this point though, I'm far more interested in striking, fierce eyebrows like Bambi's which, are so easy to achieve at home that it's not even funny. All you need is a natural (depending on your hair colour) eyeshadow and something to act as an eyebrow brush. It's seriously amazing how you can enhance your features at home and I think people need to be doing that more often than they are.

So many people hide their freckles or imperfections with foundation and while obviously everyone has insecurities, everyone's human and without a doubt you'd look 100 times nicer embracing you for you. I know all too well how easy it is to go wild with concealer when you're trying to look fab for a party, but at the end of the day if you're trying to impress people with your 'perfect' skin tone then they're not really worth impressing at all. And this is going to sound so lame and whatever but if you're hanging out with the type of people who would judge you for a pimple or blemish then they're not worth your time because 99.9999% of people wouldn't take a seconds notice at your scar that you got from falling up an escalator in a freak accident when you were 14 and those who do are probably so full of their own insecurities that they pick out other people's flaws to make themselves feel better. Flaws that aren't even really flaws because they're what makes us who we are.

So please can people start not covering up their freckles because 

a) freckles are so in at the moment

 b) it's always awkward when you don't rub in your foundation properly or don't get a colour that suits your skin tone

and 

c) you're undoubtedly gorgeous freckles and all

Aaaand that was the world's biggest digression but I'll just post some pictures to lighten the mood from that emotional paragraph of makeup styles that I seriously adore.

If I had the balls to bleach my eyebrows for a brief stint I seriously would, this is so great.

Also as a side note Cara Delevingne is my favourite model at the moment and her eyebrows rock

I'm dreadful

I'd just like to start by apologising profusely to everyone who occasionally checks out what I post for not posting anything in almost two months. I've just started year 12 and it's insanely busy but I promise I'll post more now that I've kind of figured out how to organise time.

And I know I promise this every time I post something but I really need to study because failing General Maths would be an awful career move but I absolutely promise I'll post something fantastic within the next few days!

Until then, here's a photo of my haircut. Please ignore that it's a selfie and I look ridiculous. 

But yay short hair!
