Updates
Hmm. Well, yesterday I went shopping - mostly for house stuff: cabinets, storage bins, a water-hose, groceries for the week and a new Rolling Stones t-shirt! I think it might have been the first time in about 3 weeks I had gone clothes shopping, due to the fact that all money was spent on moving.
Anyways - now this may seem like old news - about Marc Jacobs' Fall 2006 line. It's very 90s, no? I don't want to give off a know-it-all feel, but I've been obsessed with the 90s since about March and before I saw this collection.Maybe - nay, most likely - I'm just flattering myself, but I think I'm very good at predicting what the next trends are going to be. For example...
1. Early Spring 2005: For reason unknown, I got really into the 60s. Like, everything about it. The fashion (obviously), the music, the movies, what kind of makeup people were wearing, etc. I looked at all my grandma's old photo albums and wanted to dress exactly like she did. Okay, maybe not exactly - I wouldn't look good with the helmet-shaped hair with the ends flipped out. I even rented The Mod Squad. Then, I had my weekly visit to Style.com. Lo and behold! Mod is in! Chanel and Christian Dior, both whose new collections I always check the buzz on first, show Twiggy-inspired makeup, long straight mod-style hair, black and white, and clean, geometric shapes. I felt so cool. Haha..
2. Mid Fall 2005: Come autumn, I still held onto that classic, clean mod cut of the 60s but after watching Pearl Harbor just one too many times, I had this sudden fascination with aviator and sailor things. Remember that aviator jacket from Banana Republic not too long ago? I wanted that SO bad, but of course I didn't have that kind of money. Then there was my nautical phase (which I'm still partial to - it's classic yet modern). I wanted everything I laid my eyes on that was striped navy and white, rope detail, gold or bronze details, anything with little anchors or ships. And guess what? For Spring 2006, nautical is a blazing new trend! Alright, it's not new but it's back again.
3. Spring 2006: Watching teen movies like Suzie Q, Clueless, and anything Christina Ricci really makes you miss the 90s - what can I say? I'm a 90s child. Thus, my new obsession of anything that was all the rage from 1990 to 1999/2000. I'm still in this phase right now, so I can't say much about it.. except for maybe: Devon Sawa was a hot 90s babe. Now, I'm hoping that the 1990s will have a big influence on fashion this fall. In a good way of course - dirty, greasy hair is still not acceptable in my book.
