2014 Spring Trends: An Ode to '90s Fashion

Who didn't love the '90s? The '90s gave us the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, All That, Lisa Frank, The Spice Girls, Titanic (the movie) and Britney Spears. The list is way longer, but if I keep going I might not get to the point of today's post.

Oh how I miss the '90s, which is why it's so awesome to see so many of my favorite fashion trends from back in the day being reinterpreted in 2014. Today I want to share with you some of my '90s fashion idols and show you some of the trends I'm most looking forward to getting my hands on for  the spring!

Let's take a trip down memory lane.


My '90s Fashion Idols:



The Girls of Beverly Hills 90210: For an entire decade these girls had me glued to my TV week after week only to see what they were wearing (let's admit it: the show plots were a little too ridic at times)




Carrie Bradshaw: Known for her shoe obsession and impeccable fashion forward style




Cindy Crawford: By far my favorite supermodel of the '90s. This girl knew how to rock a pair of short shorts.




Princess Diana: The definition of polished perfection.



Posh Spice aka Victoria Beckham: No one has rocked a LBD quite like her.



Gwen Stefani: All around badass chick, queen of red lipstick and cropped tops!




Cher Horowitz: Who doesn't love the gal who introduced my generation to designers like Alaïa?

Janet Jackson- Queen of ripped abs and ripped jeans.

The Victoria Beckham Fashion Story

Almost no one can design an impeccable dress quite like the exquisite Victoria Beckham.

I've been following Beckham's career since she was one-fifth of the Spice Girls. And yes, if I was playing out a karaoke fantasy, I was always Posh Spice (not to hate on the other girls, but they were fashionably challenged.) There's always been something so fabulous about her style, elegance and the way she carried herself from the day we were introduced to her.

I can even recall the bit of jealousy I felt when I found out she married David Beckham and became Mrs. Beckham. But nonetheless, I've always loved and admired her. She always seems to be on top of her game both in her personal and professional life. To kick off her  during NYFW, (New York Fashion Week) she has collaborated with Skype to give her fans an inside look at the process of putting her collection together.







What many people might not know about Beckham is that while she was living in LA and working on her brand based out of London, she used Skype as a way to communicate with her team. This Skype collaboration is giving fans the chance to ask VB direct questions through Skype video messages.

DYK? Beckham was also one of the first designers to use social media, primarily Twitter as a way to connect with her fans during NYFW in 2012. She actually became the most talked about designer during that showing. It was only natural for Vicky to move forward in the next phase of her brand by launching her very own website where she could sell her luxury products.

Indeed she launched an e-commerce store before even thinking about opening her first bricks and mortar store, which will open in London in September 2014.

If you love fashion and Vicky as much as I do, I highly recommend you watch this amazing piece on the evolution of her brand and her journey to becoming a fashion designer. And the best part? IS that you can get involved and communicate with her.

I for one am very excited to see what's on the horizon for VB.
