Fashion inspiration from the 90’s

I grew up in a small town where everyone wore the same clothes from the same store. Therefore our wardrobes consisted out of jeans and plain t-shirts. We didn’t have the internet to inspire us either. This means that my first exposure to true fashion trends were 90’s movies. These movies showed me that there is more to life than mom jeans and trainers. It also taught me valuable life lessons about beauty and sexuality.

Clueless

Based on Emma by Jane Austin, this was one of the first movies that inspired my fashion choices. The movie is filled with stylish outfits from the 90’s along with some interesting fashion advice. This was the first movie I watched that featured designer clothes. Being from a small town I’ve never seen pretty outfits and this inspired me to exchange my small town life for city life.

Gave me the motto I still live by today….”On Wednesdays we wear pink”

Romy and Michelles High school reunion

Romy and Michelle taught us that its importance to always dress well even when going to gym. They also showed us that if your life isn’t wonderful invent a wonderful life. it also showed us that we should not let other people define our lives. Life is what we make of it.

 

Heart breakers

Taught us some interesting life lessons about men and the importance of low cut tops and short skirts.

Cruel intentions

This movie had a different side to sexy, instead of just short skirts and low cut tops it showed us that buying key pieces or wearing tailored outfits can make you look just as sexy as a little mini dress.

Legally Blond

Elle Woods taught me that you can be both pretty and smart, that you don’t have to be only one thing in life and that you should believe in yourself even if no one else does.

15 minute DIY project

Before my family is visiting us later this month I’m trying to beautify our apartment a little. So I bought some silk flowers but when I got home I noticed that I didn’t have any containers to keep it in. Luckily I had a box lying around and a 1m brown wood wallpaper strip

I covered the box with the wallpaper and trimmed the edges, I then arranged the flowers and viola.

I’ve never been one for too many ab exercises since I was told that doing crunches everyday would make my stomach look like a turtle. Since I am now in my 30’s however I am determined to do more abdominal exercises. Here are a few of my favourites.

Movies that you have to watch twice

A while ago my husband and I saw the watchMojo video about movies you should watch twice. We have already seen some of the movies but decided that we should see the ones that we haven’t seen yet.

Number one on the list was Momento. The movie is portrayed in reverse order. Its about a man who follows the clues to his wife’s murder. The protagonist however can’t create new memories and tattoos all the clues he gathers on his body in order to remember important details. From start to finish this movie is confusing and as you keep watching you feel like the protagonist, not knowing who to trust or where the clues will lead. It is definitely worth the watch

Halloween wall decorations on a budget.

Today I’m starting a Halloween series including decorations and costumes. I know its a but early but we have to start our planning now. Things get more expensive closer to Halloween and time is often limited if you leave it too late.

Working as a teacher isn’t always very lucrative, therefore you have to use your money wisely in order to make the most of it. For Halloween last year we had to decorate the entire school and tried to make it is nice as possible. We didn’t have too much money to spend on the event so we had to make do with the money we had.

This is what we did with big black sheets of paper.

There were a lot of great ideas on the internet for scary looking pumpkins. We looked at the pictures and copied them as best we could. We also made lots of bats, cats and mice (not featured in these pictures)

Here are some more template you can use for wall decorations.
