United Colours of Supreme?


90s Benetton, much?

Moschino x McDonald's

Jeremy Scott is a proper little troublemaker, in the best sense of the word. Regular readers of this blog will know I'm a total fangirl. His fast food inspired creations for the Moschino FW14 collection may have some of the old guard clutching at their pearls but

Jelly Shoes Are Back - No, Really



Remember these?? I do, mainly because my mum wouldn't let me have them because she said plastic shoes were bad for my feet. Thanks to the runaway success of rubber shoe brands like Melissa coupled with the trend for all things 90s, jelly shoes are making a fashion comeback thanks to Juju.

The original Babe (chunky heel) and Maxi (flats) styles are available in the retro glitter, pearl and regular finishes, and in a mixture of pastels, brights and monochrome colours all over the shop from Topshop and New Look to Office and Urban Outfitters.  They've even taken a high fashion turn with a clear collaboration shoe for Margaret Howell, pictured above.

I've spotted loads of cool kids who are most likely pretty new to the jelly shoe phenomenon wearing them out and about but now I'm allowed them, I'm not sure I'm so keen. They're definitely a nice bit of nostalgia though for those of us who remember them the first time round.

Jeffrey Campbell Gets All 90s Spice Girls On Lazy Oaf's Ass


Jeffrey Campbell is on a mission. The super cool American shoe designer was, until fairly recently, only stocked in the US, but now he's popping up all over the UK with the latest outlet being our laidback, fun fashion friends over at Lazy Oaf.

Seven exclusive styles including these fab Spice Girl inspired stack sole trainers just like the 1990s Buffalo platforms Sporty, Baby and Geri used to wear, and some signature spike designs with an urban edge and a sky high wedge. Get em while you can, I don't think these will be hanging around for long. www.lazyoaf.co.uk

I Love My MTV - 90s Love for Pull & Bear Retro T-Shirts


The MTV logo is synonymous with 80s and 90s fashion. Since the revolutionary music channel's launch in 1981, the iconic motif has remained pretty much unchanged, although it has had a few little makeovers. Check these awesome ice-cream coloured tees, above, with a variety of classic MTV logos from Pull & Bear menswear (although these particular t-shirts are most definitely unisex).  Whilst over in their womenswear department, you'll find these hot little scoop neck vests featuring rockier neon and faded, vintage style zebra MTV logos. 


At a totally reasonable £15.99 for the vests and £17.99 for the t-shirts, all available from www.pullandbear.com, I'm going for one of each of the T's to wear with my newly acquired Yo! MTV Raps Puma high tops, below, that I've been thinking about ever since I stupidly neglected to buy them when they first came out a few years back. Thank you eBay! I really do love my MTV.

Global Hyper Color Style Phone Cases from Griffin - Rave On!


You know that saying about wanting to get your 'hot little hands' on something? Well, if you're one of those hot handed types (I'm not, I'm currently sat in my coat and considering lumping on a blanket as well it's so cold today) you'll certainly make an impact with these new colour changing iPhone cases from Griffin.

An extension of the technology made popular in the 90s by Global Hypercolor - those t-shirts that reacted to body heat, changing colour when and where they got warm - these iPhone / iPod Touch covers are a little piece of retro rave culture in your pocket. £24.95 from the Apple Store.

PS. I visited Global's design HQ as part of my school work experience and found a pair of Global Hypercolor jeans in the sample cupboard. THANK GOD those never made it into production - can you imagine?? There does definitely seem to be a bit of love about for the t-shirts again at the mo but having been there and literally having got the T-shirt, I think this is one 90s revival I'll swerve.

New Gent Lacquered Swatch Watches - WANT



Hot drops over at Swatch with these New Gent Lacquered watches. Each one is unique as all the inner workings are made up of different coloured parts with the colours chosen at random every time.  These remind me so much of the late 1990's 'swiss made' designs I wore at school and lovingly fashioned screen guards for out of rubber bands during geography (sorry Mr. Williams). LOVE! £47.50 each over at www.swatch.com

DAMN! When will these Fresh Prince sweats be back in stock?? *sniff*

Yeah ok, so I know it's a bit student, and yeah, also noted that JLS have been spotted wearing them but STILL, sorry but I've totally fallen for the Fresh Prince of Bel Air sweats, hoodies and T's by French label BePriv Paris.  Sadly they've been out of stock since I first found them last year and no-one's replying to emails (in my bestest French and everything...) so I guess I'll just have to keep checking back.  Or maybe settle on one of these Kermit the Frog t-shirts where he looks just like the lovely Alber Elbaz (who recently celebrated his 10 year anniversary with Lanvin) with his bow tie and glasses. The tiny Nike replica chains by Merystache are pretty sweet too. Make a note to check em out for yourselves at www.beprivparis.com
